She is too young to be killing things, I don't think conventional rules apply during the apocalypse.
That doesn't hold true for things like swearing. Killing and guns and death and such are forced upon people because it's necessary to survive. Swearing is not necessary and doesn't assist anything in any way, so there's no reason to change your ideals on it.

How do you know? Swearing can make one feel better, and feeling better can give one a psychological edge in survival. Besides, eventually there's going to be a situation in which it's perfectly reasonable to say that somebody fornicates with poo from time to time.
I doubt we'll hear much from her, like I said. She might repeat something like she did^ in episode 2 (was it?), but I doubt she'll do it more than once, if even that.
I don't care if she does or doesn't, but I hope so...
I can't imagine anyone NOT swearing when living in a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies. I would be swearing all day long, it's a great way of getting rid of stress.
Can't imagine someone walking around saying: "Oh dear, there's a zombie following me, well, darn, I seem to be in a pickle".
Clem isn't Carl, but the more time a child spends in the apocalypse, they grow accustomed to what they hear. If we don't get a protagonist like Lee for season 2, she probably will swear.
I mean, Carl swears enough to make Rick cringe in the comics. And he's roughly the same age as Clem.

Yes, but there are better ways to relieve stress than swearing. Killing walkers is a much better way, and makes the world a little safer. Or just drag a dead walker in a corner and beat it with a blunt object when you're feeling down. I think the feeling after doing that would be more powerful than shouting expletives. Especially after a heated argument with a despised rival, for example.

Both of those alternatives are significantly more dangerous than simply saying a four-letter word every now and again. Survivalism 101, you don't go after something that can kill you unless there's no other option. Corpses also tend to stink and carry diseases. By contrast, F-Bombs are harmless.
If Clementine meets up with Omid and Christa, maybe she'll start swearing a bit more since she tolerates Omid's swearing, and it might rub off her in turn.

If we do see Clem again next season, I highly doubt she will...

Lee doesn't teach her those words, though - she already knew them.
Besides, saying all of Carlin's seven words still isn't anywhere near as bad as sending a hot piece of metal whizzing through somebody's skull.

Swearing in moderation wouldn't be bad, but it would hurt the innocence that they are trying to portray in her.

I don't know if I would like this... But it would be hilarious, actually.
It could be worse. She could swear like Larry.
