Teenagers (and adults) would benefit from a bit more chivalry in their behavior. For students, here are some suggested guidelines:
Boys
- When you see a girl carrying something heavy, offer to carry it for her.
- Stand up when a girl or woman enters the room.
- Do not use profanity in front of a girl.
- Be appreciative when girls bake cookies for the entire class.
- Compliment girls.
Girls
- Dress modestly, not provocatively or suggestively.
- Do not attempt to embarrass a boy, as in trying to beat him in arm-wrestling or bragging that you did better on a test.
