Swearwords/Swears and Being Mature/Maturity
I agree with the theory that one gets/becomes more mature as he becomes/gets older. But some mature ungraciously. One example is the use of swearwords/swears. Blaming the influence of media, many teenagers overuse swearwords. It sounds attractive for them to choose effective words. Repeating one swearword/swear doesn’t bother them a bit.
In my opinion, some adults rarely use swearwords/swear. In this case, it is much worse and immature than teenagers. Recently, I started to use them. It happened during a conversation with my friend about insurance. I couldn’t stop my anger. I always tell my friends jokingly that I know a lot of Spanish swearwords/swears but I had never said them before.
I said to him, “I am sorry. I know this is a bad word.” Then I said one of the swearwords. Immediately I felt like I just robbed the bank. My one swearword of hate was much more immature than a lot of swearwords used/said by young people. Young people usually use them for little things, but sometimes for serious things. I was sarcastic and used it to satisfy myself. How embarrassing and immature! My friend just smiled. I have lived two decades and still have to learn to be a mature and good person.
