Language

Ok, so....why can't you all find a nice way to express yourselves? WHY MUST YOU BE SO MEAN? Why use words your parents would not approve of?

  1. I do try to find a nice way to express myself but you know sometimes you have to be mean and let some words come out because people act as if they don't understand if you are polite. you have to let them know when you have the upper hand. Lol. But I don't believe in limiting myself to ten words!!

  2. I try to, I really do. But sometimes you just get so riled up and you don't realize what you're saying until after you've said it. When I get mad at someone, I get really mad depending on what they did. I say a lot of things without realizing it when I'm mad; things I usually wouldn't say, or don't mean afterward.

    I try not to say anything if I'm mad to the person I'm mad at. I prefer to use it as creative energy for stories and poetry and such. It comes in handy quite a bit more then yelling, let me tell you. Plus, it holds a lot more emotion because you wrote it while you were feeling that way yourself.

    I guess we do it sometimes because in some houses, it's accepted and the children don't see the language as crude as children who it was drilled into at an early age. Or they are the kids whose parents see it as bad, and they do it to rebel. Different people have different reasons for everything.

  3. I really am more than those words but when people do ignorant and trifling things. people have have to use ignorant and trifling words(Kamille Bostick).

  4. I do agree that teenagers these days use some very hateful words. Whether it be to tell someone how they feel, or whether it be in their every day vocabulary. This is not the right thing to do. I am almost positive that there are plenty of other words that you can use in place of these words.

    So I say that you should try to use nice words. You can really hurt someones feelings when you say mean words to them. They don't deserve it. So try to be kind, I don't like seeing people hurt. Would you want someone to be mean to you or be rude? It kind of hurts.

    I know a lot of kids use bad words that their parents would not like because they are accustom to it. They were raised in that kind of house. But you need to learn how to control your anger. So follow the golden rule; do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

  5. I really think that it could really be another way to express ourselves, in a good way not a bad way. But many people can’t take the good so you have to sock it to them in the way you know best. Our parents don’t know so it wants hurt. This is how I express myself.

    Really, many people may think I’m the nicest person on this earth. Honestly they have not met me yet. I really think I can really express myself in a better way but when you are nice to people they don’t understand. So there for you have to make it clear using more words that will hurt them. To make them understand what is right.

    I really think that you can express yourself in a better way. It’s just that people don’t really understand the good and you have to get to the bad. That’s why people should try to start understanding what has to be said first.

  6. There are a lot of ways that teens express themselves. One of the ways that teens describe themselves is by the language they use.

    I agree with you in the fact that teens could use better language. I think that part of it is the fact that teens think that they're "cool" if they use bad language. It's all a part of peer pressure. It's hard to feel left out.

    I think that there are better alternatives that teens can use instead of using bad words. I don't think that when teens cuss they mean bad things all of the time by it because they are mostly trying to fit in.

  7. i agree that teenagers use violent language from time to time. sometimes all the time. This isn't right and i do think that teenagers shouldn't use these words, maybe they could use words to replace to bad ones.

    Some people get hurt when you use mean words. Sometimes you think they deserve the words that you shoot out, but nobody really does. i have been hurt by words that i cannot even describe. Do you like it when somebody else uses mean language to you? I know i sure don't!

    So i know that so many teenagers use bad words but maybe we should try to cut back and not even use them. Yes sometimes they slip, but try really hard to hold them in and they will eventually stop "slipping" (:

  8. Some Teenagers try to get over on there parents. They try to look good in front of there friends. It's other way to express yourself without using bad language.

    Some parents allow there kids to talk back in front of them. You would ever get anywhere in the real world with bad language. Some teenagers are mean because they see there parents doing the same thing and think theirs nothing wrong with it.

    I wouldn't use any language around anybody that I wouldn't use around my parents.

  10. I don't know. I think most of the time when they do use them they don't really think about. Or they don't mean to. It just slips out.

    But, at lot of the reason is because, that’s the world we live in. And when you go to a movie, or go to a basketball game. You’re more likely to see a gorilla eating the food out of your pantry when you get home. Then you are to not hear a few swear words.

    So I blame it on society. When you are constantly being exposed to it. It eventually wears off, and then you begin saying similar things too. Another possible reason is that celebrities and other people teenagers look up to have “dirty mouths”. And they will use those words to feel cool. This is why I think teenagers use language.

  11. Most people grow up around the language that you here today. The more you here it, the more prone you are to repeating these words. Like how i used to blast Lil Wayne songs in front of my sister and she started repeating words he said. Then she starts to go to school the next day and says them in front of her teacher like they were normal words. That proves that hearing them influences saying them...kind of but she was just 3 yeas old.

    Also, I personally know how it is because as soon as I moved to Hartsville, people wouldnt stop cussing. And they were doing it like they've been doing it since kindergarten.

    Parents never said they were against it...well not directly but that kind of gives kids the green light to do it.

  12. why can't WE find a nice way to express ourselves? WHY MUST WE BE SO MEAN? Why use words our parents would not approve of?

  13. Some teenagers use language because if you don't say it a certain way then no one will listen to you. You try to be nice to everyone but when you do that, no one listens to anything you say. The only people that I know that listen to me without me using language is my friends.

    People do not listen to you if you say it in a nice tone and you talk soft. When you do that, they continue to not listen and ignore you. I have noticed that people don't listen unless you be stern and make them pay attention.

    So overall, the reason that we use language and get stern is because people don't listen to whet you are saying when you want them to and you want to get their attention. Any language that i use, my parents would approve because I don't use a lot of language.

  14. Language is so over rated. Teens these days curse with every other word they say. It's just no need for it. I understand people get angry and say things they wouldn't usually say but they take it to far. I guess they say things that they usually wouldn't around their parents because they think their cool but their not.
    They sound really ignorant and kind of uneducated.
    People should be aware of how they put themselves out there. Around your parents you really can't say what your feeling so I guess it's a out let when they get around others. Wow. I just don't get it. It's crazy.
    People should be watch what they say. If it's the way they talk then i guess that's them. I could really care less honestly. People just don't care about the way other portray them. I guess they really don't.

  15. Hurtful words cause hurting feelings. People should treat others the way that they would like to be treated. Most people would not appreciate being hurt with bad words, so if you do not want to be hurt by these words, you should not say them.

    I think people curse because it is the natural thing to do. We learn when we are little that when bad stuff happens, people use bad words. Also, when people feel bad they hurt with words. When you see an adult or older child using these words, you automatically repeat them.

    I think people can not find nice ways to express themselves because they are not nice. I think people are not nice because these words were used at them or around them. Once somebody hurts you, then you want to hurt someone else. In this way it snowballs

  16. I do agree with you Mrs. Miller that teenagers choose the wrong words at the wrong times and they choose horrible ways to express themselves. Some teens though, have some self control and know how they should act even when people make them mad.

    I don't say anything to anyone that i wouldn't want my mom to know about and if i do happen to slip up, i apologize to that person for the words i used to express myself. Some people say "I can't help it" but actually, you can.

    If teenagers would just stop and think before they say something, everything would be a lot better. It's like their brain and mouth have no connection whatsoever. Teens need to find a new way to say things other than being hurtful or having a dirty mouth.

  17. i tend to do that sometime. the thing about it is that my mother knows that i do it! i sometimes get so mad that i say things and i don't realize that im saying it! sometimes i just get so mad that i just crack under pressure.

    i try to be nice, but some people just take advantage of it. some people just do things to make you mad! i try to cut back on the language, but it slips sometimes.

    im to the point where that if i get mad i just let go of all my anger on the person who made me mad! i know it hurts their feelings, but i really don't care at the time! i regret it afterward, but i don't ever apologize!

  18. When you are angry and your not thinking straight, you sometimes release your anger with naughty words. Everybody has before and everybody will continue to do so. There are many words that people use but i mean come on..there just words.


    Some people let out their anger with naughty words because that is what they grew up around. If somebody has older siblings, they might have learned these words at an early age and they think it is cool to exclaim these words from their mouth.


    The last reason people scream dirty words when they are angry is because people do not think when they get mad. I dont think when i get mad and im sure that you dont either. Well, these are some of the reasons why people say dirty words when they are mad.

  19. Maybe the way we express ourselves is not mean but true.
    Maybe the way we express ourselves is something that other person doesn't want to or care to hear. It is true to that the truth hurts. Some people don't like to hear about themselves, or the things thats right in their face.
    This is what I think about the way we express ourselves.

  20. I don't use bad words. I may think them, but I don't use them. It's not appropriate to say them.

    It would be rude if I said them. I think I might hurt someones feelings. Don't you think?

    Besides it would be a pain to have to get in trouble. Then get kicked out of the school and everything. It's just to much drama.

  22. Some kids just sound ignorant when they say these dumb things. Like cursing, I only curse when I get really angry.

    But, some kids curse just to curse. They sound ignorant but they think it's cool to be talking like that.

    Some kids try to be cool knowing they wouldn't say those things in front of their parents. It's just something their parents do not tolerate.

  23. I honestly feel that many people bring that too themselves, I try so hard not to say mean things but there are some people who are just pushing it. I know one girl that every time she opens her mouth I could just scream. I am not a mean person, but I guess some people just pull it out of you.

    I do not like it when many people pick on others to make themselves feel better, if I see that I will jump down someones throat. I honestly try to do the Christian thing, but many people need tough love.

    Drastic measures are appropriate when you are around some people. The words you say need to be filtered, and I strongly believe that; though some people pull evil words out of my mouth. It is hard to refrain from that.

  24. I really do agree with Quay, hes so right. Kids now just cuss to cuss. It's just because of society. Everywhere kids go they hear cussing. Weather its a song, at school, with family, in movies or even on TV.

    I try to cut down on cussing around my little brother because he picks up everything I say. He knows that the words are bad, but if he hears me using them then he thinks its okay.

    I will admit i have a bad mouth, I also have a very short temper. so when I get mad I say all kinds of bad words. My Mouth gets really bad when im at the race track. I get really mad because the men i race with will run into me and try to rattle my cage because I'm a kid.

  25. I would say that some people have a bad mouth.but sometimes people get mad and have a big outburst of language when they get mad.

    Since I was little,I haven't cussed before but one day me and my dad was in the store shopping, and when I talked to him I accidentally said a bad word, so he heard me and he made me write 100 times:"I will not curse again".I was really mad after that but I got over it. So now today i haven"t cursed again in my life after that incident

  26. We are very inclined to use bad boy/girl language. It is because deep in our heart all of us want to "G" we think that using this naughty language will help us achieve a state of "G".

    Sometimes I become flustered and feel that the time has come to present this naughty words. I do it because I want to be considered "G".

    That is why people use naughty words, because they want to ascertain their state of "G" that might have been aheived at an earlier date.

  27. In general, there are no excuses for the way people behave. All people have their own ways to express themselves. One just happens to be using foul language.

    Why must we be so mean? Well, in my case, that is just how I am. When people irritate me, that's just what I do because some people just don't understand stop.

    Some people use foul language accidentally. It could slip out. Or it could just be the way they talk.

  28. Well I myself use nice and respectable words unless I have to use other words. I think kids nowadays use “bad language”, because they think that it will shut up the other person or “scare” them lets just say. They curse at people to show that they are “bigger” and “meaner” or as I hear people say that they are “bad”. People do that because they are probably talking to people who they know won’t say anything back and by adding a curse word, it makes them more nervous then they already are. I think if you wouldn’t say some of the words in front of your parents, then you should not say them to people your age. Some people say those words in front of their parents though so you cannot really say that either. I would never say words to someone that my mother didn’t know about. I really don’t have the time I just fuss if I have to without raising my voice or even saying a word. I think you could get your point across by acting like yourself anyway so just be you when you’re fussing lol. :)

  29. I think that people use words that our parents would not approve of because if we use baby words, the people that we are saying them to, would not get the full affect of what we are saying. We also say them because they make us feel cool, because we used to hear older people say them, and we learned what they meant as we grew to be teenagers, and now we use them to make the kids under use want to be like us.
    I try not to use them, but sometimes you stump your toe and you just drop the F Bomb and everyone stares at you like you just ended the world, I think it is kind of funny.
    Well thats all I have to say about that. I hope you like my answer, but I want to know if you have ever used that kind of language Mrs. Miller?

  30. Children use bad language for different reasons. Sometimes people use it to express anger. Like most of the time when people curse,they say it out of anger.

    Then most people grew up around people using curse words. In addition to that, most people don't think they're being mean when they say them. Some people think it's fun.

    So really, people say curse words for different reasons. Like when they're angry. Or, they can say them just for fun.

  31. I do it to express my anger. So, every time I use a bad word, I'm most likely angry or ticked off, which is most likely all the time.

    My parents know that I swear and they don't care. They also know that I can swear in two different languages. English and Chinese.

    Ask anybody, and they'll probably say that I'm the worst swearer they have ever known.

  32. When you are angry, all you want to do is take all that anger and put it on someone else. You can't help yourself so therefore you express yourself and say things that really you don't mean.

    You hear things all the time and it influences you and it may always be things that you don't want to hear.

    I think that the reason why people use unnecessary words because they are angry and all they want to do is get rid of the anger so they say weird things.

  33. I personally, do not use bad words. Although everyone is surrounded with bad language at some, point in their life or maybe even every single day. I think that when people use bad words they are very upset.

    I think that people sometime do not know what they are doing when they used bad words. Sometimes words just come out and that people does not realize what they did. It is very hard for many people.

    Most of the time people use words to look "cool." They think that if they act like everyone else people will respect them more. They do not think before they do.
