Research has found a link between the amount of swearing in television and video games and increased aggression in children. The more children are exposed to coarse language and behavior, the more likely they are to exhibit physical and relational violence. Swearing in television can lead adolescents to adopt coarse language and disrespectful, aggressive behavior. The document calls on parents to monitor what their children watch on TV, educate them about appropriate language, and stop allowing them to learn bad habits from media.
