[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of 4 here and I do not agree with 13:00. Curse words or their "replacements" are not okay with me and are not allowed. I also would not use these words in front of my parents and/or elderly people.[/quote]
I am 13:00 and I think it is a reasonable choice to not allow these words but I think this puts you on the far end of the range of opinions parents will have on this.  I should not have used the perjorative "upright" because I really don't think that is fair so sorry for that.  I was just trying to express that there is a range of opinions and not allowing these words would put OP in the minority among the least permissive group of parents.  I think my views fall within the fat of the bell curve,  if you will.[/quote]

Don't really think I'm in the minority, but perhaps for the demographics on DCUM I am. I'm black and none of the black parents I know are okay with their children using curse words and/or their replacements. I will say that my oldest two are 13 & 17. I am almost positive my 13 y/o curses and I have zero problems with it. Just do it when with your peers and definitely don't do it in the presence of adults. I think being too lenient has an effect on how respectful teens are when in the presence of adults who aren't their parents. [/quote]

I don't think being black has anything to do with it, when every black teen I pass is saying nigga this and nigga that.[/quote]
