American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.
You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

Mr Smith had two sons. One is seven years old, and the other is five. One morning during the holidays, when he was cleaning the car, his younger son came and asked him for some money for sweets.
“Sweets are bad for your teeth,” Mr Smith said. “Take these two oranges instead, and give one to your elder brother.” One of the oranges is quite a lot bigger than the other one, and as the small boy liked oranges very much, he kept that one for himself, and gave his brother the smaller one.
When the other boy saw that his younger brother had a much larger orange than his own, he said to him, “It’s selfish (自私的) to take the bigger one for yourself. If father had given me the oranges, I’d have given you the bigger one.”
“I know you would,” answered his brother. “That’s why I took it.”
