A timely and often surprising film, Mind Your F-ing Language reveals the rich and hidden world of the language that kids actually use, and looks at one school's attempts to deal with swearing.
Britain is getting a reputation as one of the most foul-mouthed countries in the world. Young people are growing up seeing swearing as part of everyday life, and that includes at school.
Some campaigners argue that as well as being part of a more general loss of respect for others, constant swearing is exacerbating bullying, leaving many children hurt and upset, and is helping to fuel aggressive behaviour.
Meanwhile others see swearing as a teenage rite of passage; self-expression that is capable of poetry.
But what can, and should, be done about it?
