Why do we blur/ censor swears to children?

520 viewsOther

When did we decide as a whole that only adults should be able to swear/say certain words and that kids shouldn’t? Also, i’m not talking slurs that are offensive or things like that, but words like “shit” or “fuck”.

As adults we know that while there is nothing inherently “bad” about swear words we also know that there are contexts where they are just not appropriate. If I’m meeting with a client or at a job interview I know to keep it clean, because obvious reasons.

But kids often can’t make those distinctions, if they think it’s ok to use swear words sometimes then they are going to think it’s ok to use them all of the time. No one wants to hear their kid dropping f bombs while in polite company
