Cursing would would make it more realistic. The problem is there's already sites online run by uptight parents that want iCarly canceled for the way it is. If they made the 17 year olds talk like 17 year olds, alot more parents would ban iCarly in their houses. Even 13/14 year olds curse alot. It wouldn't have been unrealistic for them to curse even in the begining. I remember in middle school kids as young as 11 talked like sailors (I'm talking F bomb on a regular basis here) when adults weren't around. They made crude sex jokes too. What happens is the older kids talk like that and mingle with the younger kids so all the incoming 6th graders have potty mouths by the end of August. So parents who would object to this are full of crap. Kids know alot more than adults given them credit for. They lose their innocence quickly, especially in middle school.12/13 year olds know all about cursing and sex even though they don't mention it to their parents. A little cursing on the show will not teach the preteens this show is meant for anything they didn't already know. The only reason they use substitutes like chizz is because of uptight parents and uptight Nick censors. Not because preteens don't know the word sh**.
