Unusually, I agree with MGoH wholeheartedly.

In the UK, it is actually forbidden in schools to call any child such names.

I used to stress about my kids doing anything like that, but learned quite quickly that juvenile curiosity trumps parental advice every time. I was fortunate that their curiosity didn't run to drug use.

All you can do is bring them up with knowledge of the dangers of certain activities, and hope that one day you'll hear the best four words of all,........"You were right Dad!"

Calling them idiots is not only pointless, it may provoke a rebellion and further problems.
