I'm 17 and going into my senior year in High School. I cuss, but I'm also a redneck..as in, I cuss when it's just me..or I'm hanging out..or I drop a hammer on my foot, etc. I think these kids need a good butt-whoopin. Though I agree with Alex.

I slapped a kid in the back of the head, and he was deaf for 3 days+ and a lot of people tried to say it was my autism, my non-existent social skills, and I said: "Listen, I hit this kid because he was being an ass. No more, no less." It would've been easier to blame it on my Autism..but I have never done it..nor do I plan to. I have a horrible temper..but I take responsibility for my actions, I know what the implications are. I think that if these kids are so ignorant they are gonna cuss out a teacher (which some stupid freshman did..right in the presence of the Principal), they deserve to be expelled. That's my thought. I mean, if it slips like "Ow I kicked the door..damn that hurt", I can accept that..but when it's full-blown cussing out..I get the principal/teacher.

Kids out here don't know what to think of me. I'm more mature than most of them, yet I have the worst temper of anyone.

its one thing when you're "just" with friends but when you're at a friends house with adults all around you and the friends are like "........ you" every 3 seconds with no respect to watch their mouths once told. then that might be a problem. it was bad since yesterday, my aunt (nearing 65), my cousin cindy (somewhere in the 30s), her daughter / my cousin (20) and her little son (10 months) were all there listening to that.

C'est la vie. It's just the evolution (or devolution) of a language, words become more commonplace and generally more accepted. Teenagers will find words like ........, ..... and .... more accepted than will an older generation. I'm sure the youngin's in the future will have curse words that we'll loathe as well, but we'll still use ours because they'll be considered a more "class" language. That's just the way I look at it, if it doesn't make sense then oh well. We all use vulgar language at one point or another, when I was growing up it wasn't that common to curse a lot so I rarely do it. However, nowadays it's a commonplace thing, so what we would see as vulgar is actually the norm.

It's just the choices people make. Eventually those people will ........ up themselves so bad they'll end up dead; natural selection.

My parents never had to put the "fear of god" in me, I made my own choices and came up with my own system of morals and ethics and I turned out fine. Most importantly, I took responsibility for what I did.

That's why people are in such bad shape today, blaming it on someone else, "My parents didn't try hard enough," "I'm going to sue ______ because they ______ to me," "The media is responsible for ______."

If only people would take responibility then society would be better off. People know what is right and what is wrong, they just choose to not take responsibility for it and pass the blame

But you do realize that most kids need guidance from their parents when it comes to learning morals, and ethics. Most of the time if a parent doesn't set a good example for their children, than that can negatively effect the child's personality. I wasn't saying that it's always the parents fault for having a bad kid, I was stating that people often over-look the fact that your parent's influence can make a big impact on who you are. I agree that people should take responsibility for their actions, I even said it in my original post. It's not just your parents that can make an influence on your personality, but it's your siblings and your peers. Most likely if you have friends that get into trouble all the time, you'll become like them and get into trouble all the time. So yes you should be held accountable for your actions but you might make alot of bad choices because of bad role models.

You talked alot about the importance of people taking responsibility in our society. Well what's a way of teaching your child responsibility? Discipline. As long as your not being abusive, it's alright to give your kid a whoopin' when they do something they know is bad. It teaches a child to respect authority. That's why it could help a kid to avoid trouble. Sometimes if a parent doesn't give their kids any negative consequences when they do wrong they may continue to do bad things the rest of their lives because they don't consider repercussions.(Sorry about the length of my post.)

Ha, if either one of my parents hit any of us [me, brother, sister], we'd be dead. I was never hit; slapped once or twice, yes, or chased around the house by grandmother and her wooden spoon.

The kids my brother hangs around are definitely a very bad influence, I stress bad prominently.

There is his one friend whom since his father passed away they've inherited like 1.5 million dollars and his grandmother is a millionaire either-way. He's constantly making jesters that "oh, I'm rich I dont have to list to you." Then, there is the, "I have everything" comment where my brother 'has' to have what he has. And you know what the sad part is, my loving dad goes out and gets it for him most of the time. My dad doesn't really do that for me, but the only thing I ever ask for is to keep this site up. Even so, with my dad at almost his disposal, my little brother finds the time to steal things. He got caught of course which ticked my father off for about a week and took it out on me and my mom. Not fair, lol.

Being a 16 year old teen myself, I also use curse words but only when being in an undescribeable rage but I see loads of others use them a lot, too much actually. It's quite funny to hear a curse that's not in english, but I can't say I enjoy it, I find the bands like Slipknot funny, yes, but it's really an obvious display of bad habbits that are maybe even passed on from the parents (not in my case). I just think it's stupid when every second word you say is a curse.

First of all, those kids that brag about having s**: most of them are actually lying to impress their mates.

I agree about this whole rebellious out of control teen thing. I wasn't exactly well behaved when I was at school, but we knew when to stop and never answered back to parents without expecting a clip round the ear.

But I was bad, I used to swear, steal, vandalise stuff... I was quite out of control when I was with my mates, but I never got caught which is just as well because some of the things I did would have got me suspended or expelled from school.

Nowadays I only ever swear when I am stressed/angry. And I stopped the shoplifting. I guess I just grew up.

The immaturity of some kids makes me want to give them a good kick in the arse, but what can you do? *sigh*

I swear I'll make sure my kids grow up right if I ever have any.

Oh about the bragging about s**, I know..one kid was talking about losing his virginity in 8th grade. Though, when pressed, he couldn't tell us who it was with..(Sounding like a little kid) prolly with himself /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> .

I totally agree with that. Indeed I've heard many lying to me that they did it which is quite funny, considering how immature they all are. It's impossible for little kids to have s** because: a) they wouldn't do it fearing something, /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> even if they did it would be like little rabbits anyway (sorry for details). Anyways, never believe such .... (sorry again) but I suppose no one does actually though they might tell their friends that they do just to stay "kewl".
