My husband used to work at a library that was situated within a school. I visited the library often and got a lot of first-hand impressions of the students hanging around the library. One visit, I passed a group of girls standing outside the entrance and heard nothing but disgusting language coming from their conversation. They weren't using vulgar langauge for emphasis. It was just their usual vocabulary. One of the girls must have been 'new' to the usage because she blushed and apologized to me as I passed by.
It was really sad to see these girls go to all the trouble of dressing and making up and then spoiling it all with uncalled for, nasty words. You could tell they were being 'cool' to attract the attention of the boys. And, they did attract boys but what kind?
I don't think a great many of the young women of today realize that being ladylike is more likely to find them a good man. It is the era of the 'strong' woman, the woman who CAN and WILL be on the same level as a man. Will a man respect that as much as he would a female who respects herself as a woman? Foul language will not put you on a higher level. It will just drag you down. You can attract a guy with the use of bad language and morals. If you want a real man, be a real woman of higher standards.
Sigh . . . Too bad so many teens already know it all and we have to let them find this out on their own.
