Throwing out a bunch of swear words when you are angry or frustrated doesn’t let people know what is wrong. It only lets people know that you are upset. Because swearing does hinder communication, it is much better to avoid swear words and express what is really bothering you.


“What happens when you swear, cursing, cussing, profanity at school?”



Many teachers or staff members will give you a detention for yelling the “F” bomb in class. or like Ms. Green says “ Queen Bee Curse Words” It depends on the teacher or staff member (and who hears you). Some teachers hated it, others didn’t mind so much.  However, it’s rude and doesn’t show your true respect for others.

How we can stop saying/using profanity we can say more  appropriate words rather than they really offensive ones.

For example instead of saying  the F word we can say:

  • Flipping
  • Freaking
  • Fudge
  • Frickin. 

For example instead of saying the S word we can say: 

  • Sugar
  • Shoot
  • Shiz
  • Shingles
