Swearing

Personally, I hate hearing people swearing constantly, as I think it can be very vulgar. I'm not trying to be sexist, but I dso think that women and girls swearing does sound particularly bad and "common," but its often the female sex that swear more nowadays. However, I do think there are occasions when only swearing can portray certain powerful messages and emotions, and can also aid in comedy.

Admittedly, I swear, but not excessively, and I don't think I first started swearing until I was about 12 or 13 years old. Although I say the odd swearword in front of my parents, I would never say the "F" word or anything as bad as this when in their presence, mainly as a sign of respect. My parents don't say things like this in front of me, despit the fact that I'm a grown adult, so I don't either. There's a time and a place for swearing, and when you're younger, you often find it "cool" to swear, as it's a form of rebellion and a its also part of growing-up; part of the path to maturity. However, I do generally disagree with swearing, as it's impolite and rude, and is not an acceptable form of behaviour in public, especially if there are young children or elderly people in earshot.
