Not when I was a kid. We may have swore but it wasn't lightly and would probably be out of genuine anger and could lead up to a fight. If females were around we were even more careful. Sounds boring but we got into as much crap as any generation, there was just a lot less swearing and disrespect. If we were caught swearing at school we'd get the strap. We didn't have the drug problems though, just alcohol and tobacco.
I did get my own 22 at ten although I knew better than to try to use it on my own until I was about 14, when my BB gun and bow became boring.
