conduct themselves with teammates..?
Hi! everyone.
1-Could you tell me, if its a correct sentence? I read it in a newspaper.
Unfailingly polite, he's a living example of how athletes should conduct themselves with teammates, media, fans.
Does conduct yourself with someone mean to behave with someone?
2-I have always heard and read "to conduct yourself with confidence or courage" I understand this sentence but what do the following sentences mean?
"They conduct themselves with class and grace and bearing, Thompson say."(How would you define a person who conducts himself with grace ,class and bearing(by the way, what does bearing mean here?))
3-I couldn't understand this sentence. Could you rephrase the coloured phrase in it to help me understand?
Girls are often found scantily clad inebriated and exercising no discretion whatsoever in how they conduct themselves with obvious and dangerous implications for their personal safety
I would be much obliged if you answer my questions.
Thanks!

1. The use of "conduct" is correct and means what you say. More usually there would be an "and" at the end of the sentence, but it is not forbidden to omit it.
2. It means someone who behaves in a classy and gracious/graceful way. "bearing" is sense 3 at http://www.collinsdictionary.com/di

GPY3. It probably will be clearer to you if we insert a comma:... exercising no discretion whatsoever in how they conduct themselves, with obvious and dangerous implications for their personal safety.Definitely! the comma was really needed there to make sense for a non-native speaker.
