i remember dorm life. picked up cursing there. when you're out on your own and everyone else is doing it. and you do it to amuse yourself rather than anything else. that still doesn't make it a good thing, i know. every other thing was f this f that. by my senior year i was avoiding those people and attempted to stop cursing. my attempt was aided by a co-operative in this execution who was a friend that will remain nameless but we came up with a plan to say "curses!" every time to make us realize how unnecessary it is and overall how stupid we sound when cursing. it worked.
