Discussing etiquette and manners from common courtesies to cell-phone smarts to classroom decorum, Alex J. Packer blends outrageous humor with sound advice as he explains why etiquette and manners are important—because people who know how to handle themselves in social situations come out on top, get what they want, feel good about themselves, and enjoy life to the fullest. Full of practical tips for every occasion, How Rude! is a serious etiquette and manners encyclopedia—and a hilarious read. This revised and updated edition describes the basics of polite behavior in all kinds of situations at home, in school, online, and in the world. For more must-have advice from Alex J. Packer, Ph.D., check out Slaying Digital Dragons: Tips and tools for protecting your body, brain, psyche, and thumbs from the digital dark side Review: Infinitely readable, fun, relevant - As a 24-year junior high school teacher and parent I was intrigued by this book, but expected it to be simply an informative reference—something I would take a look at over the next few weeks as we wrap up the school year. Instead, I found it so funny, relevant, comprehensive, accessible to teens and infinitely readable that I carved out the time to read it through. Who would have thought a book on manners would be a page-turner! The book is peppered with short paragraphs by the author called 'True Stories from the Manners Frontier,' where the author gives first-hand examples of manners challenges from his real life, some of which are hilarious. Each chapter ends with a Chapter Quiz - an amusing and light send-up of old-style textbooks, but always with a humorous twist and best of all, no right answers! I was surprised and pleased to get to chapters with topics one doesn't always think of when it comes to manners: funerals, people with disabilities, sex (Sex-Ediquette) - approached responsibly and age-appropriately - and all things digital (Netiquette). I highly recommend this book for parents, teachers, counselors or grandparents who want to know more about social media and the role it plays in young people's lives today. And I recommend it most of all for teens since understanding the role of good manners is increasingly necessary in today's rather uncivilized world. The book has already proven to be a lively topic of discussion at the dinner table, and I'm planning to use it in teaching when we're on the topic of character, success and social skills, which is practically daily. Review: Outstanding! Cool! It rocks! - Just in time for our grandchildren. State of the Art issues are discussed in Dr. Packer's inimicable and brilliant prose. His always elegant comic flare compels a thorough read-through and ongoing reference reading in the most pleasurable manner imaginable. His insights and suggestions are rational, reasonable and super conducive to civil behaviour and impeccable manners. Our children profited so much from Dr. Packer's earlier work and, need I say, all have grown into practically perfect adults. This updated version of How Rude will educate them as well as their children. We expect perfection will blossom with the spring. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #104,002 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #31 in Teen & Young Adult Nonfiction on Dating & Intimacy #128 in Self-Esteem for Teens & Young Adults #157 in Teen & Young Adult Self-Esteem & Self-Reliance Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 247 Reviews | ## Images ![How Rude!: The Teen Guide to Good Manners, Proper Behavior, and Not Grossing People Out - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sLYULeJYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Infinitely readable, fun, relevant *by S***Y on May 19, 2014* As a 24-year junior high school teacher and parent I was intrigued by this book, but expected it to be simply an informative reference—something I would take a look at over the next few weeks as we wrap up the school year.

Cool! It rocks! *by P***N on December 19, 2014* Just in time for our grandchildren. State of the Art issues are discussed in Dr. Packer's inimicable and brilliant prose. His always elegant comic flare compels a thorough read-through and ongoing reference reading in the most pleasurable manner imaginable.

We expect perfection will blossom with the spring. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this is a great book to share with them *by M***N on February 19, 2016* This book was a huge hit in my household. I initially checked it out from the library, thinking I could incorporate some of it into the homeschool lessons I plan for my Aspie son. I skimmed the first chapter and left it out only to discover that my son had appropriated it for himself and stayed up late, reading and laughing. He really connects with the witty tone of the book and has absorbed the content. We see real changes in his approach to different social situations. If your child is at the point that they want to learn how to handle the complex world of teenagers but just can't navigate it by themselves, this is a great book to share with them. ## Frequently Bought Together - How Rude!: The Teen Guide to Good Manners, Proper Behavior, and Not Grossing People Out - 52 Modern Manners for Today's Teens - The Modern Teen's Etiquette Playbook: Confidence, Communication, and Online Presence for the 21st Century --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/6302872-how-rude-the-teen-guide-to-good-manners-proper-behavior](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/6302872-how-rude-the-teen-guide-to-good-manners-proper-behavior) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
