As a parent of a teenager, I monitor my daughter's books fairly
closely. She gets grounded for swearing, and her school gives
detention for it. I will agree that a portion of teens swear, and I
think it's deplorable that parents allow it. However, you can't
assume that teens as a group swear because some you know do or
because they do on TV. That's like saying that all blind people rock
back and forth because some you know do. It's a generalization that
doesn't apply well under closer scrutiny.

I didn't read the rest of this thread, but I'll just ask you this and leave it. How many teens do you know that never swear?
