Why are so many teenagers so foul mouthed and disgusting?
Why are so many teenagers so foul mouthed and disgusting - the
teenagers around my area (Salisbury area) seem to revel in being as foul-mouthed and abusive as they can? Girls in particular are the worst! |

Because many adults have foul language, they hear it on tv, in music, etc.
I don't think teenagers have the corner on bad language. wrote in message ... Why are so many teenagers so foul mouthed and disgusting - the teenagers around my area (Salisbury area) seem to revel in being as foul-mouthed and abusive as they can? Girls in particular are the worst! |

No substantial income; no home of their own, just their parents' home where they have to follow rules they may not agree with, etc. It's one outlet they have for frustration, or for exerting power over others. -- it's a status symbol, demonstrating independence from parental rules. Later on, at workplaces etc., not swearing is more of a status symbol perhaps, showing self-control etc. Girls doing it mo really? I hadn't noticed. Are you sure it doesn't just seem that way. I suppose there's more of a shock value when girls do it, so they get more mileage out of it and enjoy doing it more. -- Cathy |

Good point.
Children learn by example. I suspect that the foul mouthed and verbally abusive teenagers are the ones with foul mouthed and verbally abusive parents ?!

I know a lot of foul-mouthed kids who don't come from foul-mouthed homes. They do it because it's cool among their peer group, etc., etc. I remember my first year at college. The f-word was everyone's favorite word. I even picked it up for awhile. Gave it up years ago and have never used it in front of my children, but I know my daughter knows the word quite well. |

Well, that really wasn't my intention. After all, many kids with
"respectable" parents swear too. But, it just bugs me when people single out teens for bad behaviour when it can be found in any age group. Elderly people can be just as rude or ruder than some teens I know.. Middle age people can be ruder or equally rude. Elderly people can be sweethearts, as can middle aged people - and even teens. Every group has its loudmouthed idiots, and every group has its sweethearts - and everything in between. Marijke "Chris Scaife" wrote in message ... Good point. Children learn by example.
