The older I get the more I dislike certain things and tend to voice my opinion more often. This is certainly a warning that this can be a long post just to blow off steam.

. Here it goes.....when did this word become okay to say ......

SHUT UP!.

I was taught it was not a nice way to ask someone to be quite. I am not saying I have never used this word, I have. But it was after my daughter had run over my last nerve and stomped it into the ground over and over. I am a mother, and I would bet the farm most mothers had stooped this low a time or two. But it is so common place.

I perceive this word as an angry word. But I have witnessed people say it without the anger.

So have we become so rude that we disregard other people within hear range. I would never tell anyone to shut up in public. I was not brought up that way.

I still feel it is a angry word.

And anger can never be good.

It brings people to do things that they never meant to do.

Please lets teach our children to be more kind and respectful of others and not say words we know are hurtful and not nice.
