I will give my seat to the older or pregnant women and children who is needed more than I.When I was a pregnant woman,each time someone took the seat to me on the public transport.As my child was a kid,bringing him out,was also frequently to his seat.While my son took his seat to an older,I hold him and kissed him,in recognition of his doing well. Sometimes my son asked me why anyone not to take the seat to another one who needed.I just anwered someone else how to do not that we can interfere,and the key is how to do our own.

I will if I feel that that person needs the seat more than I do. There was once when I gave up my seat to an elderly, she showed appreciation and was smiling all the way, I feel glad too. There were times when I hesitated. That was when I repeatly asking myself, is she pregnant or is she plump? should I stand up or should I not. If she is not pregnant and I give up the seat to her, I think it will be very awkward, both for her and for me.

That would be possible if one is riding a bus or a train but riding smaller vehicles might make that impossible to do. Cheers!!

I will but will hesitate before giving up my sit as not all people will appreciate if you do give up your sit to them. I ever got a scolding from an old man when I give up my sit to him. He refuse to sit down and said that he is not that old and he do not want that sit. Feel so em brassed at that time as everyone stated to stare at me

Certainly i will give my seat to the older one. I think that is a social ethic which unwritten but people wouldn't mind to do it. Just considering we are helping our own parents. The fact is someday all the teenagers will getting old. So one day we will be those olders. How's your feelings if one day when you are old and there's a young man giving you his seat to you when you're on a public transport? Of course you will think that young man is a good man. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.
