|14| - "GASP! Language!"

Sit yo ass down 'cause Mama's got a story to tell.

I hate it when people tell me to "watch my language."

Don't get me wrong, if there are children around, I won't swear. If the atmosphere is professional, I won't swear. But, let's say I'm with my friends, and a random person tells us to "mind our language," I most likely will cuss that person out.

I think it's just who I am, honestly. I've been swearing since the fourth grade and it's become a habit of mine to slip in "fuck", "shit", or "asshole" into every conversation I have. I am a very, very profane person at heart. I'm not afraid to show it!

I used to be the person who would put "this book is rated PG-13 for strong language" on my Wattpad books. Now, I personally don't give a fuck. If you're incapable of understanding that the world is filled with profanity and if you are too young to not complain to your mommy and daddy about some bad person on the Internet saying a bad word, get out of here.

It also pisses me off when young children on here decide to be the "parent" and tell you what to say and what not to say. Especially those younger than the recommended Wattpad age.

I came to Wattpad when I was twelve. 

Oh no! I was underage! How did Wattpad not catch me!? 

I was more of a silent reader. I made an account to save books and vote, that's it.

You didn't see me telling people to watch their language. I just shut the fuck up and read the fucking book.

You also didn't see me complaining on how the characters in a book were swearing too much and "my mommy and daddy didn't allow that type of language." (*please, read that in a baby voice*).

First off, if your parents don't let you swear or get exposed to swearing, why the fuck are you still reading the book? Go read some Junie B. Jones and get the fuck off of Wattpad, because believe it or not (*gasps*), Wattpad is for people thirteen and up! (OH MY GOD!1!1!1!)

Not all middle schoolers and high schoolers swear and act like this, but you can't expect them to sit by and watch as you parent them.

I'm suddenly reminded of the opening scene from Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Iron Man: Shit!

Captain America: Language!

Iron Man: Are you serious?

This was something I've been dying to write about. Please, share your experiences. Also, to all those "I'm so offended by swearing" users that are still on my profile, P L E A S E   L E A V E ! How 'bout you buy yourself one of those wonderful mugs! (Picture shown above).
