Let’s face it. When you see your two-year old let out an expletive that Dad uses, you think it’s cute. After all, it’s unexpected and he didn’t even grin when saying it!

No, Andy. You swear because you either think its cool, or else because you feel like it's a form of freedom. Maybe you don’t think this on the surface, but it IS the subliminal thought behind the action. If nothing else, you swear because it gives you a rush. Blaming your parents is a sorry excuse, with extra emphasis on the pathetic aspect of it.

So did you come up with any ideas ivanaluvs alli? I was taught that if you need to curse, it's because of your lack of vocabulary and you need to expand that to express yourself and your frustrations in a better way. Maybe that can help you with your project. :)

im 16 and there are times when i dont realize what im saying or how much i swear. i get it all from my dad and he's O.C.D. he wants everything done just the way he wants it to. if its not done the way he wants it to, he throws a big hissy fit. he curses like theres no tomorrow. i try to avoid hearing my dad cussing but how could i if he acts like every other day? just thought i share that.

As a teenager myself, THANKS for saying how important it is for parents to step back and realize they must set the example! It's frustrating for kids who get lectures from their parents about things they themselves do. Also, the idea of a "Cursing Jar" seems to be pretty popular. Although I haven't had experience with one myself, I think it sounds like a good idea. I just hope all parents who try this will handle it with a firm hand but also be able to make jokes and light of the situation. There's nothing a teenager hates more than the feeling that parents are overly controlling and don't understand them. It can only breed resentment.I write for a parenting website from the kid's perspective, radicalparenting.com. We actually have an article on the same idea that might give more perspective to the issue at http://www.radicalparenting.com/2009/10/22/cursing-kids-6-ways-to-stop-teens-and-cussing-children/ Check it out if you want, and thank you for the article!

I don't necessarily agree with the the parents setting the example.  there are things we do or don't do, and times and places where they are or are not appropriate.

I drive a car because legally I can and I am of age.  I drink soda first thing in the morning because I am an adult and because I can.  I decide when and what I will eat because I can.  I swear too.  I don't do it in church, I don't do it in front of other people's children, but yes, I swear.

my kids do as they are told. they don't drive til they have reached the appropriate age and have been trained.  they eat what is made for them because they aren't of age or choose not to cook for themselves (I have kids from 6 - 21). they don't swear because it is not appropriate for a child to use that language.  when they are adults they can do as they choose.  and oddly enough, my adult children RARELY swear, but when they do spit out a bad word, they are aware of their surroundings because THAT was what they were taught.

kids are going to swear when they are around other kids ... it's part of growing up and finding themselves (and I don't mean ALL kids, some will choose to use substitute words), but my kids know that regardless of the words I use, THEY will be respectful because it is the right thing to do.  even they (my adult children included) are disgusted when they hear 13 year old kids yelling the F-word just because they can.  to me that shows that the way I brought them up is working.

this is pathetic, you can't treat a teenager like a pet dog, if you try to stop a teenager from swearing around you, then they will just swear about you when you're not around. It is just a part of society and part of growing up, if you want to treat a teenager like a 2 year old, then don't be surprised that they hate you

Hmm, I do think that words have meaning and carry certain energy with them, and some should never be used. If you are old enough, and mature enough to know what the meaning is, then, in context, yes. My thoughts are though, that many, even adults have NO idea the power in words.

And hate, BTW, one of those words...shows your age.

The main reason is teenagers act himself to show or express or prove be a strongest, Hardest, Brave Leader.and consciously or unconsciously they searching to how to prove I'm the leader of strongest, hardest, bravest, fretful, cheerful, leader. therefor they acting with their most sincere places.where this limitations facing child's and teenagers on their life.and how to overcome their immature confidences.first we support teenagers and give lot of loving confidences and consider their attitudes, behaviors, talents.and first thing is you don't teach your child they naturally learned your behaviors.therefor be sure you walking in the right ways. so we just help to choosing the correct ways on their life's.because if you not consider their talents and their grasping powers.they will try to express their talents and grasping powers more strongly on out side of the home or in the home. may be that time they using ways are not corrected but unfortunately we can't to lead their ways because they don't want others couching class they feel short and insulting himself.so simply understand their talents and attitudes and consider with loving values.they will comes to care first you :)
