I cannot STAND children who call elders by their first name or don't say Maam/Sir. dusty I find this rather hard to believe! I'm sure you meant that: you cannot stand it when the PARENTS have not taught their children proper manners. They can only know this if they are taught by their elders!!! While it is a true statement of fact: One of todays society's short comings is the lack of manners! But we can't blame the children if they are not taught!!! Does this sound better?
