When students say bad words, they can have lots of reasons why. 

“Some of the students think that it’s okay, and I have learned it is not,” Elana Lehocky, sixth grade student, said. 

According to the Ascension Press Media website, students say curse words because of anger, unpleasant news, and poor grades. 

“I think one of the reasons kids use so many bad words is to try to look cool in front of their friends. I think that, and I also think trying to be funny,” Mr. Griffith, middle school principal, said.

When it comes to discipline, it varies for every school. For our school, if you say a curse in class, you can get a detention or an after-school detention. If a student says curse words repeatedly, you can get a Saturday detention. Some curse words are not as horrible that can give you a lunch detention.

 “We’ve had 45 writeups this year for inappropriate language,” Mr. Griffith, middle school principal, said.
