Politeness in English is very complicated. One thing that helps with politeness is knowing which name to use for a person you are talking to. If the person has the same status as you (for example, a classmate) then you should use the person's first name when addressing the person. If the person has a higher status than you (for example, a professor), use the person's title, plus the last name: Professor Jones.
There are special sentence constructions in English that are more polite than others. Pay special attention to the use of modal verbs. And when you are writing something that calls for special politeness, have an English-speaking friend check to make sure that you are being polite.
It's very difficult, but you can learn.

it is your choice..to be polite or to be rude..no one can change you or tell you what to do,,you know what is the best for you and if you feel the need to be polite..and think this is the right choice..then you should be proud of yourself but if you think you are rude and feels you need a change..feel free to choose what you want to be to project yourself.. sometimes it is easy to be who you are and what you really want to be, than being somebody who is not really you and trying to be somebody..you know better than anybody when it comes to making a choice.. If you feel guilty, then ask for apology if you offended someone .you deserve another chance to make a change. Remember, you are responsible for your own action...the more you will be polite, the more you will gain friends and respect.
good day...

Yes, you should be polite, 'manners maketh man'.
Try smiling, putting yourself in others place and thinking about how your words or actions may make them feel.
Do good turns everyday, your life will turn around for the better.
Give compliments to people - you will make them happy.
Be genuine.

OMGOSH YES! I adore people who are clean and polite. My friend burps in your face and doesn't cover her mouth. MOST DISGUSTING THING IN THE WORLD. So you know what happens? We talk about her disgusting habits behind her back. Do you want that? Please just learn some basic manners. Society is not asking for a lot. Just be tolerable. Say please and thank you, cause it goes a long way. And cover ur mouth when you burp and your nose when you sneeze. Chew with your mouth close, and don't call after 9. Remember, if you don't do it, somebody might be talking about ur disgusting habits! work hard to be polite!

If you have to ask, you already know! Right? It is so much easier and healthier, to be kind, than not. you will smile more, you will make other people smile more, and when you lay that head down at night you will actually "SLEEP"! No burdens or worries or regret. You will awaken refreshed and willing to make "someone's" day! And you will be blessed!

It is not easy as you might think. Changing yourself requires a great inspiration or insult. Now how do you want to change is for you to decide.

you all rude everytime 'cess?
'Tis good to be polite and show good etiquette.
Manners cost nothing and give much in return.
There is nothing more polite (or more attractive) than a sweet smile.
