Learning “bad words” in a language for self protection

When I first moved here, English was my third language and I didn’t understand a lot. I later found out I was being bullied in 8th grade and had no idea because I couldn’t understand what people were saying.

Now I'm in 11th grade and am learning Spanish, and I asked a friend about a bad word just to make sure I know what it means. She seemed confused about why I’d want to learn that because I never use bad words.

Am I wrong for thinking it’s important to understand insults in a language, even if you never plan to use them???
