too much foul language

[wAgKaNgMaKaLaT]

even kids mga 7 o 8 yrs sobra
na ang foul language at cussing.
bakit?... ano kayang solution?

[Lo Lo]

Marami kasing natutularan ang mga kabataan ngayon. Kundi naririnig sa kanilang magulang ay sa mga kalaro o kaeskwela naman. O di kaya, sa mga pelikula at TV at musika. Masyado na ang exposure nila sa malalaswang salita at pagmumura.

Hindi naman pwedeng ipagbawal ang lahat ng pinagmumulan niyan. Pangaralan man ng mga magulang ay di rin nakikinig yung ibang mga bata. Mas gusto pang tumulad sa mga kaibigang mapagpasikat. Ewan ko nga ba kung ano na ang kalutasan nito. Nasa tao na rin ang pagpapasya kung gusto nila o hindi.

hi sis kalat...bakit nga kaya?
para kseng natural part of
daily conversation na yan.
di na ata maaalis...ok lang
kung mild..wag lang yung sobrang
dirty words.

lolo...tama po ang sabi nyo.

Lam mo Wagkangmakulit nanggagaling din naman iyon sa mga parents ng mga bata eh. Dapat ***** ang mga parents ang pagsabihan na huwag gumamit ng mga words na ganun para hindi na gayahin ng mga bata, kasi kung araw araw nilang maririnig yun aakalain nilang pangkaraniwan na ang pagsasabi ng mga words na ganun diba? :) naintindihan mo ba pasensya ka na inaantok na ako hilo na ako sulat nalang ulit ako dito next time :)

10 Ways to Clean Up Foul Language
- by Ovetta Sampson

1) Recognize that swearing does damage: Swearing does not get you hired, promoted, romantically conected or invited back to anything important.

2) Start by eliminating casual swearing: Pretend your sweet little grandmother or your 5 year-old daughter is always next to you.

3) Think positively: A positive attitude not only eliminates swearing but also brings contentment and brightens your personality.

4) Practice being patient: If you’re stuck in traffic, don’t curse - be cool. You have no control over the situation, so use the time productively. Plan the rest of your day or do the thinking you never have time to do.

5) Cope, dont cuss: Consider even the smallest annoyancea challenge, and feel proud of yourself for taking care of it cheerfully and efficiently.

6) Stop complaining: Avoid complaining about matters over which you and the people with you have no control. For all other complaints, try to offer rational solutions.

7) Use alternative words: Use your mind, a good book, a thesaurus, to draw up draw up a list of alternatives to nasty words...use "heck" instead of "h*ll."

8) Make your point politely: Take time to make your point in a mature and convincing manner.

9) Think of what you should have said: Over time, these exercises will help you think and act differently.

10) Work at it: It takes practice, support from others and a desire to be a better person - by controlling not only your language but also the emotions that prompt you to swear.

Ya masyadong laganap ang profanities even kids say it. I have a nephew who once asked my mom or one of our maids at home what the word "bwiset" means, he picked up from his dad,(utol ko who always curses at motorists who cut or are plain garapal). Adults should be responsible for their words. I admit I swear but not in front of my 2 pamangkins.

[wAgKaNgMaKaLaT]

mild pa nga ang "bwiset"...
mas grabe yun iba...x-rated na.

reflection...ang ganda yun list mo...
thanx...also to all the ppl who posted.

[wAgKaNgMaKuLoT]

eh yun sh!t, masama ba yun?
kse parang ordinary na lang
sya pag me kausap ka...di ba?

ppls..tell me coz if its bad
i'll stop using it na.

[sagrado]

wAgKaNgMaKuLoT: better stop using it coz, its not good... ok.

tama si lolo, kids develop such attitude in using foul language as they see it natural because elders uses it in a very natural way... ang solution siguro, para sa akin must start from the parents, as the family directly affects the attitude of the children... they should guide their children in their childhood development. Family as the smallest unit in the society must be the place where child can learn the basic foundation of love and respect to others. And parents must give their child a proper guidance to become good and not give them an impression of doing it.

Kids are very sensitive and eager to learn, that is life... we cannot deny that... so we must be responsible to take care of them... right??? ah yeah!!!

Makulot:

That "s" word sounds vulgar, especially when it is uttered by a girl/lady. If you must say something like that, just say "shoot" or "shu-gar," or something similar.

I hope the liberated females here will not get upset with what I said. It was not meant as a put down on your colorful choice of words... heh heh heh! :)
