Kids now are so vulgar

Waaay back when I was young, kids got slapped in the mouth for talking back, or using vulgar words. Do that now, you go to jail and your kid gets taken away. I remember when teachers would give kids a swat. Can you imagine that happening now?

Kids get away with murder, because they -know- there is nothing you can do to stop them.

I don't really think it's the parents or society's fault, it's the 'abusers' that ruined -discipline- for the rest of us.

Yeah, kids swear all the time. I didnt swear at my parents but would swear when hanging out with other kids.

Blame the parents and a pathetic society / system that is no longer willing to enforce any kind of real discipline.

4-6 no.
7-11 yes.

This 6 year old came up to me and called me a bitch once.

When I was in elementary school in the mid-90s it was common. I remember I didn't swear until I was in 5th grade but I remember others did it like it was nothing. When I waw in my teens, I heard a bunch of kids cursing on the streets and was shocked, but thinking back, it was the norm. It's not really that big of a deal, it's just words and kids like to rebel a little while their parents aren't around.

It's funny how we almost expect and overlook violent behaviour in children but the second they cuss that is what moves us. At the end of the idea of childhood innocence is a myth that is perpetuated mostly by us in the West. Kids are ignorant, curious, and rebellious and behave much differently without their parents around. That's how it is and will always be.

I first encountered such vulgarity in my peers, in the early-2000's. I don't think it's normal. I suspect that flood of sex in our media and the belief that it is okay for young kids to interact with media that's meant for adults is to blame.

As for the drawing of genitals, it's a possibility that these kids are being sexually abused. Many, many, years back, I went to a Home Depot and as my family went down one aisle we saw a large black family eyeing me like perverts. These people were fucking weird. A little boy, he looked like a toddler, came out and did this sexual action towards me. I went to my mom and asked her what it meant. My family was horrified. They told me not to do that. They later explained that this action meant oral sex to a vagina.

No, kid that young should know how to do that! I wanted to call the cops on these people but, they wouldn't let me. I think those kids were being molested or were growing up around where sexual acts were taking place.

Totally fucking normal in big and small cities, depends on the kid too. I never swore as a kid unless it was at my mother, and that was just calling her a bitch. Beyond that my sister younger was the one coming home with these sexual innuendos and new words. Didn't start swearing till I was an adult and worked construction, and a few other average joe jobs and that was it. Moved to a big city my god I was surprised how the kids openly talked to adults in pejorative manners yet your expected to act coy to them when they know full well what they are saying. You want to talk like an adult boy you better be able to receive it as well.

Meanwhile my sister having swore and being perverse as kid grew out of it. You know what I think with how people teach their kids these days, eg letting everyone else do it. It is good to get it out of their systems now as they will come to their own realization that their bored of it.

It's sad that kids curse so much these days, I feel they lose a bit of that innocence, the ubiquity of the four letter word in astounding, even in homes were the kids hear their parents swear and copy that, growing up my dad swore a lot and I find myself as an adult swearing in the same manner he did, children are a product of their environment. Parents are society and to blame.

No not normal.
