[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 560926, member: 3493"] I'm just flabbergasted that she can get a learner's permit at 14. In my state, it's 16 and I think that's young. As for the main problem, I've learned to suck that up on FB. My 16 year old son has a foul mouth, as does my 22 year old. The other 3, including difficult child, do not. I do not like that language and I tell them that it is an indication of a lack in one's vocabulary. However, I use FB to monitor their activity and if having to read a few cuss words is the price to pay for that knowledge, I'll live with it. It upsets me more when my sons use that language at dinner. I have kicked them out of the room on occasion. They are getting better at managing their mouths. I would tell your daughter that while her choice of language may be common among teens, she needs to remember that adults don't like to employ people with poor vocabulary skills and that she needs to watch her language when she speaks. I'm more upset by hearing it than seeing it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
