Friends,please mind your language

I would like to share a few things going on in our surroundings, especially among the new generation. The most irritating thing going on in schools is that children and the teenagers use an obscene word, which is so common in all the schools, I believe. Even for silly reasons like we say Oh OK, but instead they say that obscene word. I am talking about this because this is happening in my school, in my class.
Every morning as I enter someone or the other surely speaks out that word, not only boys but girls too. I just feel like giving them a tight slap on their face.

I wonder if their parents know about their school languages. And whenever they narrate a story in class about the incident happened at home they add that word and if asked whether they told like this at home to parents, their answer is no. Then why do they use these words? Do they like that words so much?

I don’t know whether the teachers of my school have come across it or not. But I want the school authorities to know about it and take some measures. I have no intention to insult my school but I cannot tolerate watching everything happen and sitting as if I am a blind.

Not only me, there are many students in the class who are against this. Not only in my class these things take place but in other classes too, I believe.

I got so irritated when my classmate used that word during our conversation. I told her to stop use such a language while talking to me and I think she is trying her best. I understand it is quite difficult for them because they it has become their habit, so it may take a long time to get rid of it.

For example, if a person keeps smoking for years and someone forces him to quit smoking, then it will be difficult for him. I know it’s not the fault of the students everywhere but at some places they are at fault because they already got mixed with their surroundings unknowingly or knowingly. So at this point of life I don’t blame anyone. I don’t want to interfere in others matter, but we go to study in school not to use abusive languages, right?

I am too confused whether to mention my school name. If I mention, then it would be a big problem arising. So I don’t want to mention the name of my school, which leads us from darkness to light. I apologize if it hurts the school authorities or anyone.

One more thing: One day, a boy in my class bought rice from canteen and came to class to have food, but he didn’t have the spoon. Nobody had a spoon either. What he did then was shocking. He threw the whole rice in the dustbin, just because he did not have a spoon.

My friends say he did so because he was very rich. He might be a rich guy, but how can he simply throw away the food just because he can’t eat it with his hand? I have no idea whether all rich people are like this. Many people in the world don’t even get a meal for once a day and they die hungry. Why don’t we think about them? They too are humans like us. Anyway, these times have changed everything, even the human minds.
