[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 402285, member: 2423"] Terry, he may be trying to fit in with his peers. Teens swear. It's part of the culture. As long as my kids don't swear around me or other adults, I'm fine with that. I think you need to teach him the situations in which he can't swear: at home, in class, when he's going for a job interview, etc, etc. You get my point. You also have to realize that if you make swearing another "forbidden fruit," he will find it all the more attractive and want to do it more. So I personally wouldn't make this a huge battle. If you downplay it, it will take on less significance in his mind. [/QUOTE]
