Swearing IS a big problem in children though not all children. The ones swearing usually come from a. a bad home or b. a rich family where they get what they please. Therefore I think that money makes people act like that. And TV... Kids may pick it up from their parents but I'm quite sure that their parents aren't forcing them to use it.

I agree, I do swear, I admit I do when I'm pissed. But I really hate it when little kids try to act gangster, swear, and pick fights with everyone. It really has gotten pretty bad over the past little while.
I dunno, it could just be me but it seems that every grade that's gone through our school (mine included) has had a major attitude problem in relation to this when they were in year 7.
I think that's cause it's the start of high-school here in Australia though and so they get some weird confidence boost. It takes a while, but eventually they grow up and stuff. And everyone gets frustrated, and when they swear, it's generally an accident. The worst kind of swearing is pre-meditated: when people swear to sound 'cool'. That annoys me a bit. If it's particular people who are offending you by doing it over and over again, you could try asking them to stop. The results could be surprising!

Yea, but you have to admit, little johhny at age 8 who dresses in sized meant for 18-year olds, with a big clock around his neck, flashing gang signs and speaking in hizzle-fo-shizzle language is kinda funny. swearing, bad, yes. that's the parent's fault though. I could have swore when I was 8, nothign new to this era than mine, but thanks to my folks, I was curbed. I think the main reason of youth violence is lack of parental effort. Boyz in da Hood was a great movie that emphasized this and I recommend it to anyone who thinks it's the kid's fault they act the way they do.
well chez is absolutely correct...It is all about parental control!
These days parents dont get much time for there children and children start doing all sort of stupid things, it is not just about swearning or anything like that it is also about degradation of the culture and morals of the society! I dont remember a time..when I said a wrong thing to my elders, fellow members and even younger ones...I have shown my anger to younger ones but that too only when they make any mistake. But these days, there are kids who reply in turn and say all sort of things which are not required and dont look good at all. I think it is the movies, Internet and parental control..I think all these factors combine toghether and make things worse.
Although I agree that swearing should be kept from professional places, it can be very useful for "colorful" or highly descriptive language (if not vulgar, than obscene), and, depending on the usage/time it is used, it can be funny (some jokes just wouldn't be funny without bad words), but just cussing left and right for no good reason can be annoying, disturbing, and insulting.
When i hear a 5 year old cussing. That's when I know this society is just headed in the wrong direction. I just lose hope of the future. Its really saddening to hear a child yell out vulgar words. They're suppose to be innocent and carefree. NOt bad and rebellious.
I don't like cussing either. My younger siblings are not permitted by me to say anything with cussin gin it. If they do its a smack. And they know it too. lol.
Swearing isn't just something that's bad to hear kids say though - it's bad if anyone says it, no matter what age they are. Sure, hearing some little 8 year old punk saying 'f' this and 'f' that gets on my nerves as well, but hearing anyone doing that in general is just as bad as well.
What I find worse is when celebrities swear just for the sake of swearing. Examples include people like James Blunt - in the album verison of his song 'You're Beautiful', he sings "I was f-ing high" instead of just singing "I was flying high". Australian members will have heard of Rove Mcmannas, host of Rove Live. I went to his live show and he decided he would just swear his head of for the hell of it - it wasn't even funny. I think our western societies need to learn that there's nothing intellectual or amusing about swearing - people just see humor/value in it because it's something which most people (used) to think of as something bad and as a result, they are persuaded to use that particular language. People who swear for the sake of swearing need to grow up. Callum
I have no intentions of saying bad things but somehow words just come out of my mouth when I'm really stressed and frustrated. Sometimes I just bite people's head off by retorting something that I know is offensive. I get irritated easily when I have a lot in my mind like if I have tons of deadlines to meet or something.
 I rarely swear and I don't like it when I do (or when other people do). I feel like part of the reason why people swear is because people around them swear, like if your friends use bad language in daily conversation it doesn't somehow seem bad anymore. It becomes normal already. Also people in the TV and the movies swear too so everyone gets influenced including children.

For all of you who're not accustomed to reading oldtimers, I'd like to say that, 2,000 years back, the Roman Empire started falling when people accepted foul-mouthing language. Now, I think it's not that much a matter of words. Rather a matter of discipline. Don't fool yourselves. Ugly words have been rampant for some time now and they are here to stay because ugly words mean ugly minds. There's hardly any point in saying it's somebody else's fault until you FEEL your mind is clear. Folks, we're all alike in this predicament. Same level. Desperation. That leads to being foul-mouthed, out of frustration. Just say what you do and do what you say. Just TRY it, and you'll see it for yourselves : it requires NO bad language. I'm not saying it's easy. I'm saying it's a matter of survival. Anything difficult comes easy when it comes down to survive. Being foul-mouthed equates being politically correct these days, and many may know where this leads. Oblivion. Cheers!  Latest Entries

The worst part is that over using explatives only serves to devalue them. If you go around swearing all the time then when you actually are in a situation that warents using them you're left with powerless junk. It's language inflation. Taking a $5 bill and making it worth 5cents.
LoL perhaps if people would stop worrying so much about censoring and start worrying more about whether your kid is happy or not it wouldn't be such a problem =)
