Re: Is it any wonder children swear?

I don't care to listen to Eminem......and if he has a message, and can articulate it without the use of profanity then maybe, just maybe I would be prepared to listen.

Eminem is one of the artist who our young people like to emulate......and they think that what he says is OK for them to say too......well, I don't think it is. No more than seeing top football players mouthing bad language......it all seems to make this language acceptable to our young people. Kids pick up words like pigeons pick up peas......they can't help it. It is a parents (or adults ) job to make sure that children are made to see that there is hardly ever an excuse for bad language. And just because words exist doesn't mean that they have to be used.

Willow......good luck in your quest to protect your daughter from unsuitable reading matter.
