I don't really know what causes this but it is certainly not good. Kids must respect and not have big mouth. Many kids today are behaving in this manner, it is hurting. I wish something comes up to change them. I think parents must be friendly to them and not very very strict. They must not feel like they are in jail sort. I think with frustration they start to have hatred for something which makes them have big mouth. There must be something that they are not happy about. So one must be friendly with them so that they can share their heart out and feel good from inside. have a good day

I think a lot of the language might just come with the every day frustrations kids have plus influences at school. We might think that kids have it easy, but in reality they have to face tough situations that we may have forgotten what it's really like to deal with ( peer pressure, bullying, etc).

We taught my son what language was appropriate in certain situations vs stopping him altogether. We know that he will curse and we can't completely stop t, but if he uses it at home we are okay. By doing that he rarely curses or mouths off. The only person who does have an issue with him is his Dad, but his Dad has a different set of rules.

Children learn from what they see and hear to the elders. So I would suggest lead by example. The learning they get inside the home can have more influence than what they learned outside. I never heard my children using bad language because they never heard me or my husband using those words. Most likely, we would not practice something if we did not grow up with it.
