Parents swear a lot around their kids nowadays and when they hear their child swear once, they go "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?! THAT'S A BAD WORD! WHERE DID YOU LEARN SUCH LANGUAGE?!" when the parents know well that they learned it from them. The other day, my sister was yelling and swearing at my baby nephew and called him the B word just because he wouldn't sit still. If I was in her shoes, I'd firmly tell him to stand still, but swearing at him was not an option for me. I could just imagine my nephew swearing like a sailor in preschool and getting in trouble with his teacher and my sister for it when it's totally obvious he learned it from HER.

I agree. It seems as if people can't stop using dirty language everywhere they go.
Even worse is that said little kids usually know the definition of the word, as well as the word itself.
Personally, I don't know why people swear so much. With thousands of words in the English language, why choose the ones that were designed to shock/offend people?
It also seems as if people always want to replace every single word with a vulgar equivalent. The word is butt, not the A-word. The word is poop, not the S-word. I take pride in being a traitor to my demented generation.

To say something like "fuck" feels good. Its an actual fact that people are less satisfied when they say something like "damn" rather than "shit". I like swearing. You might not but try to remember that words are just a bunch of letters that without proper definition dont really mean anything. If "fuck" didnt mean anything then you would be fine with me saying it, whereas if something like "poster" had a meaning like "fuck" then you'd be appalled if I said it. Words are just things we use to communicate and words like "fuck" or "shit" or "bastard" are just words like the rest of them. So what if someone swears? Its not hurting anybody. In my opinnion its FINE to swear. Formality just ruins your life. Im happy without formality and extreme shame.

i get your point but there is no need for every second word in a conversation to be a swear word. in my opinion there is a time and place for swearing, in front of people you should show respect towards (elderly, your boss/customers, teachers) is not one of those places, neither is around younger kids as they tend to repeat said words at the worst of times. and words can hurt, i know that from personal experience. The teens on the bus that day made every second word a swear word and they were being very disrespectful towards the other people on the bus and there is no need for that.
im sorry if it seems like im attacking you, i dont mean for it to seem like that. Its like i said, there is a time and a place.

I really agree.
I do cuss sometimes but at the least I have the respect for the people around me to do it when I'm alone and no one else is hearing it and such.

It's more annoying when people don't use proper grammar.

Thank God!! I'm fifteen years old, and it appalls some of my friends that I refuse to curse, even if I'm alone with them. It's the way I was brought up.

The sad fact is that filthy, rude language is becoming more and more socially acceptable among the youth. -.-
And I don't fit in, so it's very awkward for me...people pick on me because I dislike their vulgar language or the language of their music/games/movies/etc.

To be honest, I'm ashamed at my generation. Seriously, do you NEED to swear at every little thing?
Though, I'm somewhat shamed to say that I myself curse occasionally. Though not as much as most of my class!

Oh man, I don't think I could swear in front of adults if I wanted to ._.
Do "hell" or "dammit" count as swears?

A few years ago on Christmas, when one of my cousins was a baby, his first word was the F word. My aunty was shocked and got mad at him for using such language when everyone, including herself knew that he learned it from HER.

yes i know, but then you have to think,'how the hell did they learn that language?' we are exposed to it everyday and most the time we dont even notice, for teens its just become part of their vocab and adults use it whenever they see fit. i have a feeling that its just going to get worse though.

i know where your coming from and i agree, the words have slipped into our daily convesations and i myself used to use them(only when there was no-one older then 20 around(i refuse to swear infront of an adult or child)), but when you get a 10 year old calling a 17 year old a s*ut and then when the 17yo said the kid dosnt know what it means, and he EXPLAINS it. think back to when you were 10, would you have said that to someone, if you had, would you have known what it meant?
So yer i know what you are saying, in the sceme of things it may not be that bad, but the fact is people that use these words are getting younger and younger.

That's just a matter of their parents not keeping an eye on them and not raising them. Letting the society around them raise them instead. I actually wrote an editorial about that for the last newspaper issue for Publications class in high school.
Ah, high school, I'll miss you, even with all the drama and such...
