It is to my concern that children today are getting too violent. If you have noticed, the age of which the children nowaday are learning to say bad words is getting lower, children at the age of 10 can already be cursing. But in the past, the age of which a child might learn to say "stupid" is maybe between ten and fifteen, and as they grow older, they never would ever curse a bad word unless their really angry, and probably the worst word that they could curse is "shit", but "shit" is a word cursed by ten year olds these days. See what i mean.
There are many reasons to all this under-aged cursing, but i'll just write it out in a list.
  1. exposure to too much public
  2. many curse words are said out loud at home
  3. friends who curse at school
  4. watching violent curse movies on tv

There are many more reasons to this but just can't think of them right now.

When i say "exposure to too much public" i don't mean everyone in public, i mean the few in public who think that cursing is "a way of life" or "so what only joking mah, cool down lah". These are the people who are polluting childrens minds nowadays.

Reason number 3 is the most dangerous, because every child goes to school, and not every child is so innocent, if one chind has got this type of attitude, it is very posible that he/she will pollute the class as well, especially if the classmates are young. there is a saying, "A cup of milk becomes black with just a drop of ink".

The final cause of this is because of the invention of television, movies have changed so much since the old days. Nowadays, you can even find curse words in a slow sentimental love movie. But the worst few movies that i have seen is Rambo, and Leprechaun II. There is no doubt that there is more than ten curse words in every scene.

SO, i have a hipothesis, if the peoples vocabulary doesn't change, by 2020, children by the age of five will be cursing like nothing's wrong.

THANK YOU
