By Ken Blue
It’s just a habit.
My friends all do it.
I want to be liked by my friends.
It makes me appear to have more authority.
It makes me sound tough.
It gives me more confidence.
It shows I am well-educated
It shows my respect for those around me.
I am angry and lack self-control.
It’s my way of honoring my parents.
It’s my way of honoring God.
It shows that I don’t care about others.
It shows that I lack a proper vocabulary.
It shows I need to be saved.
It shows that I am an idiot.
