True

I totally agree. When I was growing up, I didn't cuss because it was seen as disrespectful and obscene. Now, kids are dropping f bombs and slurs like the n-word(I'm black by the way). Also, music has changed a lot. Back then, kids were listening to child-appropriate kids songs that were fun and positive. Now, kids listen to music with heavy profanity, violence, and illegal activity.

Also, kids try to be tough by flexing weapons, drugs, and body counts now. Even 5 years ago, it was cool to flex a laptop, good grades, games, or having a good, reliable, group of friends.

Nowadays, kids act like they're tough and gangster and cuss a lot. Man, I blame the pandemic and TikTok for all of the ish in today's world. Might be happy it gets deleted.

i remember in the forth grade, i saw someone pretending that a crayon was a cigarette, and another kids was pretending a marker was a vape

that was the most random "I'm black by the way" I've heard this month

Yippee

agreed

KIDS ARE DROPPING THE N WORD-

When they're white omfg

say cracker if your white that is the white people slur.

But I am

ok

lets go mug some kids

bro, I remeber that and flexing my car and taking photos. I agree you said it right but most kids nowadays don't even appreciate music or they just brain-rot swifts (I hope I get canceled for that)

honestly (you should summon the upvote alts 4 dis one but) I would die laughing if some of these "Big bad tough kids" had to through a legit apocalypse and end up dying because that gun store they tried to rob didn't only have guns but people who shot them (the kids were later looted and used as zombie bait)

Thank you. Istg, I have no idea why or how kids these days say slurs like it's the letter "e", but I couldn't even say "Stupid", "Heck", or "Hate" when I was younger.

I have a friend saying e too

I don't even understand why

Cussing is not solely a "kid problem". There are many adults who cuss frequently. Elon Musk cusses when people disappoint him, disrespect him, push his buttons, or drive him crazy. So does Gordon Ramsay. So does Julie Andrews. So did Alex Trebek. So did Bobby Knight. So did Woody Hayes. The list goes on. If adults don't like it when kids cuss, maybe those adults should stop cussing so much, if it's possible to do so.

We should also address the root causes of profanity. One root cause of profanity is trying to fit in. Alex Trebek used to cuss a lot to be "one of the guys". When he realized it didn't work and it just made him sound like a big phony, he quit for the most part. The second root cause of profanity is anger. If you make someone mad enough, that someone will turn into a lean, mean cussing machine.

It is sad that today's kids care more about being "tough" than anything else, though.

I fully agree, if adults don't want kids to cuss, they should be setting a better example.

If you cuss a lot and say it gets all the anger outta you, it means you’re a very angry person

Take YB for example

In my class its regular to say the n word

Me too

I think it just became a regular all day word for kids these days

no one even cares now sence they use it so often

Bro wrote a whole ass essay for a dumb ass fun stream meme

I thin you're only proving the point of how kids are swearing too often.

think*

COME ON!

FR

Just one thing, kids…

Wise man

How?

Bro i remember third grad ewhere "freaking" and "dang it" were bad words. I really dont know when i decided to start cussing.

freaking and dang it aren't bad words?

Nah, people could say that but in reality its not.

twas more of a joke lol but I do think they are substitutes for actual bad words

The joke was not clear. On this site i find too many 7 year olds thinking that bad words are some of those substitutes.

Kids are incredible jerks now. They have no manners, for example my friend got kicked in the knee and had to go to the office, and the kid who kicked him didn’t even say sorry

Yeah. A lot of the kids without manners also either have parents that lack manners or follow degenerate and "tough" influencers online.

That’s my thought process as well

Bro once in fourth or fifth grade, I slid behind a gym cushion, which was up against a wall, and two seconds later some *don't want to swear on this post* decided to run at the cushion and jump-kick it, ramming my head into the wall at full force. When I came out from behind it, she was so fudging proud of herself that she couldn't even stop smiling at my pain. One of the kids a few seconds later said "Good job :insert *bleep* name:" to her. The worst part is that she didn't even get in any trouble.

If someone kicked you in the knee and said they were sorry, would you believe them? Would it make the pain go away or the bruise heal? I think not.

You actually bring up a good point, however he didn’t at least make sure he was okay. He fled the scene just to go back and play soccer. Seems kinda selfish in my opinion, but yours may be different

The parents are jerks for not raising them correctly

i remember la kid that was like 3 years old, he looked like a toddler, and he was throwing racial slurs at me

He probably didn't know what they meant

I saw these kids today, idk mabe 5 or 6 years old and one said f*** you b****! To this other kid and I have truly lost my faith in humanity.

:(

It is sad we have come to this

I get you. I went to a playground once, I was wearing a Mario hat, and I said hi to a little kid. Maybe 3-4? I don’t know. But instantly he yells “What the ****” at me! As for the word, I’ll let you fill in the blanks.

:(

Yep. It’s very sad, isn’t it?

dang he turned into lil rt, man tryna be tough
