Profanity among schoolchildren
Swearing in school is an eternal headache for teachers and parents. Many think that cursing comes from bad company, but the reasons are deeper. In 2026, the problem was exacerbated by the internet, where bloggers swear in every video. We analyze the reasons and give advice.Why do schoolchildren swearEmotional discharge (when there are not enough words to express pain or anger). Imitation of elders (idols, parents). Wanting to seem grown-up ("adult vocabulary"). Attracting attention (even if punished, but noticed). It's also a way to fit in with the group (like smoking). Some children do not know the meaning of words, just repeat them.Why bans don't workThe more you ban, the sweeter the fruit. Fines and reprimands turn cursing into forbidden fruit. Moreover, teachers themselves often swear in the staff room (children hear). Fighting with prosecutor methods is useless.What to do for parents and schoolSet a personal example. If Mom swears in traffic, the child will swear in class. Expand the vocabulary of emotions: teach to say "I am angry" instead of "…". Explain the meaning of cursing (it's an insult to the mother, it's about sex). Do not shout in response to cursing, but calmly say: "I find this tone unpleasant". In school, introduce a "fine" for the class (a jar for tea). If a child swears constantly, it may not be mischief, but a tic or a mental disorder. It is worth showing a neurologist.
