My parents never swore when my sisters and I were growing up, and as a result, I don't swear at all, my two sisters, while they swear, they pretty much only do so in the presence of their friends. Many people I knew growing up were the same, in that for at least preadolescent, they didn't really swear because their parents didn't swear.
