Children who swear

[mrisha]

Most of the time they get the potty mouth from home via their parents and then they get worse when around their friends trying to impress them.  It is ugly but they never use potty mouth talk when around the parents.

match probably what they learned it fromYou can thank the parents for their well breaking up of their kids they probably swearing do all the rest of our home in front of the kids all the time.

I live in the suburb but I was visiting my mom in the city. I overheard these two little kids about 9 or 10 arguing loudly on the bus with each other saying things like f u stupid b***ch.
         I was about to say something to them when another lady started telling them about how it was rude and disrespectful. They started cursing her out. They waited til it was time for them to get off the bus and threw a pop bottle at her and ran off. That could've been me. Wow. I was as mad as everyone who saw this.

It is a shame that kids don't have respect for anyone anymore. There a few exceptions. But I think that is because the parents would bust them a good one. And of course, discipline is BAD nowadays. Maybe that is why kids are the way they are. Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child. BMaston12

Do you know I told my 8 year old son off yesterday for using a word which he shouldn't even know about at 8 let alone be using during converation. I can only guess that he heard the word at school because I would never use the word and neither would by husband. If I was a fly on the wall of that bus, I would be disgusted by these kids behaviour and I think I would have to say something, bottle in my face or not!

Kids are just not taught respect for themselves or other ppl these days.  If I had spoken like I've heard young kids speak when I was little, my dad would have tore my butt up!!  We raised our kids not to curse and to respect others and they don't curse around us even after they grew up.  I do know that one of our daughters uses the F word in her everyday life.  I hate knowing that but that generation just thinks its ok I guess even though she has kids now too.

I know how you feel.  My daughter's stepchildren don't mind what they say.  My daughter or son-in-law don't correct them and allow them to watch programs like Family Guy.

Unfortunately that doesn't really surprise me.  Things seem to be getting worse with every generation and with that...just think about how bad the future could be.

Its very disturbing how children act now. I find it very upsetting.

I am just going to say " GOOD FOR THEM." Adults talk like that all the time. Just look at the movies and tv shows that they watch. Look at how they talk at work. Parents are the biggest hypocrites when it comes to raising kids. I am not going to waste anymore time on this because anyone that reads this is already in denial.

OMG that is horrible. The first thing I can think about is what kind of parenting they had, who are they interacting with and why are they behaving like that. I feel bad for the way the lady was treated for saying something to them.

While I do not agree with their behavior it is none of your business or the other lady's business to tell them not to use curse words.  Not being mean just stating the truth.  You would not want somebody else (a random stranger) to correct your child.

I love how everyone is so quick to blame the parents or say they had not parenting.  There are a lot of kids who have really good parents but when they get out away from their parents they are a far different kid.

We don't live in the days of Leave it to Beaver where any adult could discipline any kid they see misbehaving.  Heck, you can't even discipline your own child without fear of going to jail or having the kid taken away from you.

You may not agree with what you see someone else doing (adult or kid) but you do not have the right to confront them.  And if you do then you will deal with their reactions.  Several years ago I took a kid from my church to eat at McDonald's and was taking her own somewhere else after that.  Her dad gave her money to eat on.  We go in and order and she orders and then stands there looking at me.  I told her "give her your money".  She does but everyone is looking at me like I am some horrible parent making my kid pay for her own food.  Point is - people are too nosy and mostly need to mind their own business.  Yeah that kind of drifts from the orig topic.  But back on my point - you do not have the right to correct some random person you do not know in a public place.

There's actually an evolutionary advantage to swearing: by breaking taboos early, you can give your punk kid a shortcut in his path to maturity,  and help him learn to deal with the awkwardness of youth through bullying. That way he'll get a good seat in the back of the bus and all the people skills he'll need when settling for a job in drywalling.

children who swear are just learning from the people they are around,,,  so if you don't nip it in the butt early,,,,  they will do it forever

Children learn my observing their parents and their peers.  They think it's cool to swear in front of their friends.  Little do they know it makes them look pathetic.  Home training and communicating first at home can prevent such language being used period.
