How old we're you when you started cursing?

yeah, kids are starting to curse at younger age these days and i think they mostly learn it from their parents. i didn't start cursing until i was in high school. i personally don't think cursing is really all that bad if done sparingly (i know many people will disagree and that's ok). i look at it like adding spices to your food. a little bit here and there is ok but too much will spoil the taste. however, little kids shouldn't be taught to curse because they don't even know what those words mean and they can't be discreet about it. so to them they're meaningless but to others they may sound repulsive or at least inappropriate coming from the mouths of babes, and will reflect badly on the parents.

I was already in college the first time I did any serious cursing, and it was in Tagalog - P I. It shocked me more than the two friends I was with at that time. I never got to do it often though. I don't even remember when I learned the F word. I'm not surprised that a 5-year-old can say that now - exposure you know. Cuss words are just everywhere now. I hear them often enough here even from kids who don't even go to school yet, though it is also in Tagalog. Sigh...

47. Yes, 47. And that was only cause of the place I worked, everyone cussed all the time and so much, it just slimmed into me and at home one day something didn't do right and I said "$)*#(^#)*)#* (^%(%___@@#". I shocked myself when that came out of my mouth! I thought I was at work! I had heard it so much and so constantly it just slithered into me. I literaly slapped myself in the face and decided that wasn't going to happen again and next day at work, I walked away from those saying htis stuff - there was one REALLY COMMON phrase that everyone picked up as the boss used it whether refering to a good or bad issue! I told people to watch their language, they thought I was nuts, but when I stopped talking to them or walked away they all "suddenly" did better about not cussing around me. Bad enough I had to listen to it all, but I am not going to speak it! That's where I draw the line.

I guess everyone of us here experience saying or using cursing words. Because when we were a child we always like to do what grown ups do and that includes cursing. With that kid i could never blame him , he sees it in TV or in Movie so i guess he felt it is just right to say it.

Hey trish! I really don't remember how old I was when I started cursing, but I was alot older than 10! But, then again I grew up in a completely different generation! I lived through the "peace and love" and Woodstock generation! I must have started cursing when I was maybe 14. I know I had to be in Junior High School. I'm sure I wasn't in grade school. But, it was a very long time ago! Things weren't as acceptable then as they are now! It isn't so surprising to hear such a little kid cursing, although it is still a bit shocking to hear that kind of word coming out of the mouth of a 5 year old. But, it is the fault of the parents of this generation. They don't watch what they say around children and this is what happens! I never heard those words from my parents until I was an adult! I said them first!

I think i wasaround 17 or 18 when i started swearing.I was raised away and i didn't hear it too often.The town i live in now,its part of their vocabulary.Everyone uses at least one or two foul word when discussing something.I have to admit,I can let them fly often myself.

I started at three years old. It took a lot of spankings to get me to quit, then I started back in the 4th grade. A lot of little kids curse though.
