I usually swear with my friends, not to demean them or to instill anger, but that is what young people do, they swear to be cool. I usually say fuck, shit, the typical teenager swear words. However, I will never say “faggot” to anyone jokingly or serious. I really don’t like that word. If my friends say it to me I am okay with it because I know they like me and are not saying it to be mean. Still, even when they say it, it stings a bit. But I don’t want to be a nit-pick around my friends, they love me for who I am, a bisexual kid, and do not mean what they say. I still refrain from saying it to others because I do not know if it could potentially offend them, some of my gay friends really despise hearing that word at all, as they should.
