And honestly I have heard "junior" aged kids speaking more inappropriately around 10 year olds than 17-18 year olds. The 12-14 yr olds tend to see a 10 yr old as a peer. The 17-18 year olds don't think of a 10-11 yr old as a peer and therefore watch what they say more.

That's a really good point! Recently I have noticed too that the older girls are the ones that view the young ones as little sisters and want to preserve their innocence. In the 13-15 age range though are the girls who are just finding out about some "bad" stuff and since they view the young ones as friends and think that stuff is cool to talk about, they talk about it in front of them. Of course every athlete is a unique circumstance, it's just a trend I have also noticed.
