My little sister always comes on the wiki to look up what a den beta is worth, and often sees cussing and swearing, and then she tells my parents, and I get in trouble and can't use this wiki for a week. Tysm!!!! Your parents shouldn't do that. Swear words are just words Not really. In my house, swear words are extremely bad and should NEVER be seen or used under any circumstances. Swear words are words that have bad meanings. I don't want my little sister exsposed to that kind of language. i agree but in todays world its almost impossible to avoid. if kids 50 years ago said the stuff kids were saying they would be in a world of trouble. True, if a kid used even the language allowed here good 'ol pa would be taking the belt down from the door. However, the twenty-first century has made a lot of things that should be discussed with kids into subjects parents won't bother with. Young children need to know that swearing is just not okay. It goes beyond just a word. However, very few people actually try to stand up to the parents. Some kids' shows have tried and basically faced death. Remember good old Arthur from your childhood? They tried to make a swear word episode and it recieved so much parental controversery that the UK banned the episode. Honestly I'm not trying to tell parents how to raise a child, but topics such as swear words should be covered at least once. Pull out the weed before it sprouts, people! Another thing is if parents get so worried about profanity, why not filter out sites that kids shouldn't be on? Create an approved playlist on YouTube? Parents want to protect their kids, but mommy and daddy just don't take the measures they should if they really are so very desperate. Kids can't be protected forever. It's a parent's job to teach their offspring to cope in the real world, and how is that possible to keep clean when much of the world is engulfed in hate and war? Personally, I think the objective of childhood is to be taught by the parents to stand in the future, and can one do that when they're not even letting their kid go to summer camp or walk down the street? Honestly the world needs to be better equipped for dealing with profanity. 100% agree
