WORDS! WORDS! WORDS!
Saw the digital Life about blogging. Was curious why that xiaxue was so popular? Wondering what was it she wrote that makes her so popular.
Was shocked when I saw how she blogged. The photo look like a decent girl, but the words that was used to express herself in the blog was shocking. No, I have no right to comment about her, I know that, as my daughter had always says, I write what I want, if you don't like then DON'T READ!!!
But words coming out from such a sweet looking girl was shocking to me. Word like F***, PE****, etc was somethng that I don't expect people to write publicbly. Surely, she must have known that by now, many people were reading her blog. Can't imaging what other will do, especially the younger one, who tends to follow what others had done. Imagine all the 4 letters words flying about publicly. Can you imagine walking along a public road and all you hear were 4 letters word flying about, all over you? I really cannot imagine living in such a world!!!
That's is why, I would very much like our young people to grow up graciously, not necessary using perfect English, but just at least be more conscious of the words used, especially in public. How the world had changed!! I can remeber those days when my mother would threaten to slap my mouth till it swollen, if she ever caught me using vulgar words.
It is sad to see our young people all going on the wrong path. They thoght that it is "stylo", "mancho" "in thing" to be heard using such words! When then will they ever learn? Don't they know that words uttered out of their mouth can never be retracted. You may say "sorry" after that, but the words had already been uttered, it cannot be washed away, cannot be erased. So let us be all mindful of the words we used. To one of my student who like to use the word "Go and die", time for you to change. To me, it is just a phrase, that does not carries much meaning, but imagine if these words were to be spoken to somebody who is already depressed, wanting to commit suicide, your words may just be the pushing factor, that cause her to do just bwhat she wants. I know you do not mean it when you used these words, but do refrain from using it if you can. It may take sometime to change, but you can if you want to. I got faith in you that you can!!!
