For me, class has nothing to do with how you walk, talk or what you wear. it has EVERYTHING to do with how you treat others.
I grew up around an extremely conservative family and on the outside they look and act like they are the all American perfect family (I'm mostly talking about my extended family) but I've had two cousins attempt suicide and one succeeded because they felt like they couldn't turn to their own family for help and understanding.
now on the other hand, some of the most unconventional people have opened their arms to me and have accepted me for who I am, flaws and all. there's a lot of people who wouldn't give them a second glance and it's their loss. they can teach love and compassion for all walks of life and lend a helping hand.

I completely agree. I don't associate class with how you dress, talk, social status, etc. It's definitely about RESPECT and how you treat others. Very well said, Kenzie.

I'm sorry about the loss of your family member.  <3

Thanks ladies :) yeah I've accepted his passing for a while now but it was a tough pill to swallow. he was actually bullied in high school and killed himself his hunior year the day before thanksgiving. his parents didn't think it was that serious and he was influencing it.

I think class is a mix of things. It is how you react to unfavorable situations and definitely how you treat other people, but you can also dress in a way that makes you look classy or the other way around. But just because you dress that way doesn't make it so!

It definitely helps to be well dressed. unfortunately we are judged by the way we look and first impressions aren't always accurate

Class is about how you treat others, especially those who have nothing to offer you. I hate people who claim they have class and then treat the waitress like crap. Definitely not classy!!
