Swearing is an odd thing. I can see why people swear when they get hurt, it actually does dull the pain a bit (Learned from science and experience), but the main reason is that I think it is the "Mature" thing. It's mainly about mindset and peer pressure. A man doesn't HAVE to swear or cuss, but sometimes he does. But a kid has to feel like a man, and because a man swears sometimes, he drops as many F-bombs he could put in one sentence to make it seem like he's mature.
