Above the age of like 11, no. Obviously an elementary school child is not going to understand the severity of their words and at that age they're basically being a parrot and mimicking everything they hear their parents/older siblings say. Once they're around 12 is when they begin to really get a mind and thoughts of their own. I'm so sick of people using age as an excuse for somebody saying something ******. Just because someone is a teenager, that doesn't mean that they're a brain dead moron who doesn't know how badly words can hurt.
