Yesterday, my niece came here to visit and she seems not same herself. I had something that is bother me lately about her, I decided to talk with her a bit until, she finally admitted and I was like whoa... Since, one name that is normal because many years in school kids would say to other kids... But other name, which is too harsh for them to using in school. My niece is in 5 grade, kids called her a geek and.. *ahems* whore... I was very surprised that 3-5 grade kids called her a whore which I found it as wrong for calling her that and I do understand about "geek" because she's very smart girl, around 10 IQ more than other kids in her classmate and she's in Chess Club and Captian of the club. She was confused about kids calling her, "whore" and she asked me what does it mean and I just said that it's a very bad word and not right for them to using that. Even I asked her who called her, she just answered some kids from 3 to 5 grades. I can't have any names but I already called her Prinpcal of school about that happened. I'm very sad that they called my niece like that because it's very wrong... What's wrong with kids this year? Eh?
 
WhisperHorse, there is other meanings of "whore," where one who does something excessively or is annoying.

Some children nowadays don't know how/when to respect one another. It is the parents/guardians that does not care or is lazy to teach their children right from wrong.
 
There is another thread about parents cussing with kids. Seems like a trend. I think it very important for parents to set example.
 
YIKES! More and more kids calling other names...it is sad...it is not very nice to say that also. :(
 
I think these kids really do not know what "whore" means. They just know it is not a nice word and are using it to bully others.
 
I remember I was in the first grade... I signed "you are mentally retarded," to a classmate (she wasn't one), the teacher saw that, she grabbed my hand and took me to the supervising teacher's office. Both of them realized that I didn't know what it was or what it meant and I had picked the signs up from other kids. She (the supervising teacher) called my mother to tell her what had happened, my mother advised her (they were good friends) to spank me with the paddle so that way I would know it was wrong. I had to write an apology letter to the classmate. After school was out for the day, my mother was so upset and explained to me what it was and what I told the classmate wasn't wasn't nice. I had gotten in trouble for using signs I didn't know what they were. I even went home from school one day, I signed to my mother, "Mom, you are queer," she didn't know what it was and asked me what I meant, but I didn't know what it was, so she had to go in the next morning to ask my teacher only to find what it was. They had good laughs about it. Boy, I picked signs up from other kids.
 
Yep I did call my oldest daughter's school last week because she is worry about food make her fat :ugh: so she told me that she is fear and saw bully kids make fun of chubby kids :mad: so School teacher said will take care of it :roll:
 
There will always be kids who act that way. That's the only way they can feel good about themselves... by trying to make others feel worse.
 
well my son have sort of problem that students call him fat or any names. I told him to ingore them or just laugh. I explained him that most kids are not acting grow up. Sad many parent didnt teach them right way.

You're correct, Many kids say things that they hear from the mouths of others and they haven't really thought about whether using these words are ok or not or if it's offensive.
 
Kids as young as two are using vulgar language nowdays. Who can blame them? TV shows, movies, radios, and everyday conversations that are heard throughtout the day promote bad language and name-calling. It is up to the parents to redirect and teach the kids it is not nice to insult others by name-calling.
 
wow that sucks..even for a 5th grader. I can't believe 5th graders would say that. especially in my elementary years we never said cuss words or the word 'whore'. Sometimes kids are just stupid and doesn't know what they're talking about. But when i graduated 8th grade this year from middle school, we were signing year books and i saw a classmate of mine got his yearbook and it signed: "jesse is a fag,gay, and a girl" I thought it was mean. So i told him to show it to the teacher and she immeditaly took it to the office and white it out. the girl acutally wrote on it and was being written a refurral. a refurral is like a warning. if you get 3 you get detention. I think you should tell your niece to ingore them saying the mean things. Just hang out with your friends, enjoy being a 5th grader and think about the exciting adventure about going into middle school. Thats coming from me as a 14 year old. :)

Also - younger generations these day are very tv-influenced. Back in old time - around 1990's or before... our tv weren't trashed with "sexified" sitcoms and trashy words. I feel sorry for these young minds these day.... their languages, attitudes, and expression of their thoughts are very poor - "low class"

"whore" doesn't necessary means she's been sleeping around. I guess the kids just blurt out the word "whore" because it evokes a very hateful emotion in attempt to humiliate and demean a girl as much as possible. :roll:

I take a lot of pride in public schools because all my educational life was spent at state schools - I graduated from public schools and state college. Now.... I slowly lose my faith in public education especially for young kids so I may end up sending my future kids to private school. I can't have my kids talking garbage like that but I don't think they would dare to do so. Just look at my avatar - "SAY AGAIN?"

I think Jiro very right about the tv influence. I am also glad to see a future parent who won't tolerate kids with bad language.
 
Time to make the kids start reading instead of sitting in front of the idiot box and video games.
 
one more thing - I think kids especially girls need to stop dressing like college girls. I mean seriously.... I don't mean to sound like a pedophile but wherever I go in my town like bookstore, library, etc... they are HOT... i mean seriously HOT... with some make-ups and clothes like mini-skirts and tanks... They even have nearly well-developed boobs! Damn these chemical age... growth hormone in all of our food especially milk. Even though they are hot but I look down on them and their parents. How can parents let them dress like that? It's bullshit to hear in news about their "innocent" little girls were kidnapped and raped. GEE I WONDER WHY!

That's why I would support the bill that will make public school students wear school uniforms.

Unfortunlately yes, it's not just those word but many kind of bad languages...


I remember when we got my sons' first bad language soon after his first kindergarten at age 3. I asked him what those word is... His replied is: :dunno: I asked again... Why say this? He replied: He like it. I told him that I don't like it because it's not very nice ... it hurts adult very badly... He was like :eek3:... I can't punish him because it's not his fault for not know anything.


WhisperHorse,

Cussing and insult word are everywhere, not just from public, private school or kindergarten. It's us parents who positive their children about cussing and insult words then they will know that those words are not acceptance instead of punish or spank them because they didn't know what those words are. I posted at Shel90's thread "parents cussing with kids". We (parents) are helpless when bad languages are everywhere... It's our job to discipline them.
 
well, same plms with my 3 stepkids hearing are older 14 to 19 years old didn't follow my rules not allow swear words front my own son 5 years old. it never works because 3 stepkids don't care about deaf parent's rules..teenagers are dumb and hearing! geez!!!!!!!!
