Who do you think are blamed for childrens swearing.

[Pulchritudinous]

Well, it's nobodys fault except yourselfs really. I mean, yeah, you can blame all of these things, but, who is the person getting talked into it? Yourself! If my friend was to come up to me and tell me to take a drug, i would say no, but if she kept asking me, and eventually i said yes, it wouldn't be her who made me do it, it would have been me, nobody can really be made to do something, we have all got a conscience. I see alot wrong with our teenagers today, they think they can do whatever, especially 12-15, as they know the wont get jailed unless doing a SERIOUS offence, but going about spray painting will only cause a fine to the parents, which i disagree with, i think the teens caught doing this type of stuff should be put on some community service to pay off the damage. And its shocking to think that some people have lost complete respect for there parents to curse at them.

Yep, I don't know anyone who is influenced by music etc to do things, the only things that influence me are actually my friends, although I mostly go by my gut feeling, most people do.

Parents - They always swear.

a sware word is just a word. Its the people listing who make them bad.

[splintercell!]

Yeh a swear word is just like a common word which posh people said was bad because its common.. and people picked it up.. theres nothing wrong with them :S

[Fingerboots]

I think it can be media a lot as well, like TV programmes, music. And of course your peers (friends and youths around your own age)
Hardly any of my friends swear, except one.. I swear she has tourettes (sp?) quite funny how long she can go ahh

[Fawne]

Well really everyone is an influence.
People always influence you into bad things.
You probably once was a 'bad'/'good' influence to someone.
Parents, Friends etc.
We're all influenced to do things.

Even Animals, some people get so obsessed that they want to be one.
It would see that nowadays, we don't even notice it.

lol 100% school definatly because just wallking round school you hear it all day

[Scriptermone]

I think all personally, Mainly Friends, Peer Pressure is the problem...

[xJoeYx]

ummmm, i say you pick it up from your friends and other kids the same age and older, at a young age you think its cool and a mature thing to do so you mimic it to try and act big. I dont think theres a way to stop it, its natural, and face it everyone swears - maybe not always in front of other people though, for me, its an easy way to vent some anger and better than getting violent and physical.

I didn't manage to get my vote in on time but I would have said ALL! However, I think people start to swear more because of friends, then their family followed by school
