"Awww shit, fuck goddamn it," I muttered and winced painfully.
And all of a sudden I was surrounded by a bunch of kids. I could feel the weight of their accusing eyes, judgming me, condemning me for words so foul. And then they started to chant, which was both creepy and headache-inducing:
"If you wanna hang with us, I don't wanna hear ya cuss! If you wanna be my peer, please respect my ears! Don't cuss!
"Ugh...fuck you, man, shut the fuck up," I groaned miserably.
They continued chanting and rapping as they closed in on me, kicking and stomping me mercilessly no matter how much I cried and begged them to stop.
When they were done, I was bleeding really badly. I had two black eyes that swelled shut, a broken nose, a broken jaw, and broken ribs. Right now the simple act of breathing is a painful ordeal thanks to those miserable, holier-than-thou little shits.
And that's how swearing ruined my life.
