Parents just don’t understand.


“OMG 143 let’s get some 420 and go to a 1174 and find a FB so they can FMLTWIA, IF/IB. WYCM l8r?”

I’m a big fan of articles that claim to have discovered the secret life of teenagers. Aside from the fact that these are generally hilarious and erroneous discoveries, they make me wonder if adults/parents remember what it was like. Not in a ‘oh em gee, they just don’t understand what it’s like” kind of way, but a “there are some things you have to keep from your parents” kind of way. Teenagers have been exploring their sexuality for generations, hell the average age of pregnancy was once 14. So why is it surprising or shocking that it is still happening? Or even that they have discovered a new medium to explore?
It seems that parents have become incredibly naive to the next generation the older that  they get, and while they may insist that they have ‘lived that life’, the truth is; they haven’t. They lived in a completely different era with completely different technology and socialised in circles that functioned in a completely different way. (I finished high school two years ago. Within my six years I noticed a difference in how we worked with each other. Who knows how much changed in the 30 years between my parents and I.)
These guys know how it’s done!

First of all, where is number 15? But more importantly, WHO USES THESE? SERIOUSLY? HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN THESE EVER?!

Am I missing something? I’m familiar with ASL, that is quite common. but 1174? Why does that even exist? Anyone who uses that and is concerned about being caught out by their parents shouldn’t be allowed to even LINE UP at a strip club.  FMLTWA? DUSL? NALOPKT?
Do enough kids even know about these for them to work successfully in a covert conversation? Can they remember wtf they are saying?
Lindsay from my favourite blog ever posted something similar about ‘sexting‘. apparently it’s an epidemic we should all be extremely concerned about. OMGEMSA! (Oh My God, Eat My Shorts Adults!)
Parents may be shocked but I’m baffled. By my own generation. I’m going now. I’m confused.
