A good friend of my dd's wrote the "f" word several places in my dd's $65 yearbook in permanent marker. Needless to say, I am very upset. I am thinking about making dd buy white out to cover it up. Any other suggestions?

I'm not quite sure what I would do.

It might be an expensive yearbook, but it's memorializing your DD's hs years, not yours.

I'm very surprised that your DD's school has already issued their yearbooks. It's only February! I've never heard of that before.

Your daughter probably knew when it happened. It's her yearbook, not yours. So, it's up to her to cover it up or not.

I guess I will expect her to pay for the next one then. I realize the yearbook is not mine, but defacing it is over the top. It was not my dd who did it, but her friend. We talked about it today and she told me she didn't know her friend was going to write that all over. I am not talking about signing the yearbook but writting the "f" word under certain student's pictures. This is actually her yearbook from last school year not the new one.

I don't think it is up to her to cover it up or not

I'm a little late chiming in here, and I'm afraid I don't have a lot of advice.

So your DD either covers it up and/or puts the book away. And I am sure your younger kids have heard the word before. Why would your youngest have access to your daughter's private property anyways. Kids usually get their friends to sign their yearbooks with personal messages. And even rather bland messages kids might not like siblings and parents to read.

Next time, your daughter will be more careful with her property. And yes, I agree with you hydeangea, that word does not have the shock value it did so many years ago. Even in my generation, it didn't.

You know, instead of worrying about a "word", perhaps you should be more concerned that your daughter's good friend would think so little of some of her classmates that she would write a swear word under their names. It doesn't matter what "rude" word she wrote; more so that she did. Does you daughter shared this less than complementary opinion of these kids? And what does she think about her good friend's nasty opinion of some of her classmates. A word can be covered but the attitude/behavior is not that easy to rectify.

If you work to bring up thoughtful and well-read young adults,swearing will not be a worry.

Tell your daughter that you don't allow that kind of language, and that she shouldn't let her friends defile her things in this kind of manner.
