If your teenager is anything like mine, then you never see them without a cell phone nearby. Even if they have the ringer on silent, at some point – several points – during the day you’ll hear the steady taptaptap as another message is sent out to their friends about who they’ve seen, what they’ve heard, and what are we going to do tonight?<\/p>\n
(The same thing we do every night, Pinky – try to take over the world!) (Wow, that previous paranthetical aside totally made me old, didn’t it? Sigh. Pinky and the Brain, kids. Educate yourself! \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n
Now, if your a hip parent (and I TOTALLY AM, though my lameness increases with each declaration of my hip status. This parenting thing is CONFUSING!)you text your kids, too, and your kids send you back messages filled with abbreviations and acronyms that you don’t understand. It’s ok. We’ve all been there and know there’s a learning curve. The Webopedia is even here to help with a list of 1,125 entries<\/a> of what your kid might possibly be trying to tell you.<\/p>\n For the most part, it’s pretty easy to pick up – which is good, especially with the teenage “sexting<\/a>” that’s going on, and how dangerous it is. If you happen to get a random text that was accidently sent to you (what? it happens!) and you don’t know what it means, Fox Atlanta has a list of some things you may want to be on the lookout for – just to make sure your kids are playing it safe. These are the top 50 text acronyms<\/a> that all of us should know:<\/p>\n 1 \t8 \tOral sex How many did you know? Pay attention to you kids – give them reasons to type out PAL and PAW more often, and as I ALWAYS stress – TALK TO YOUR KIDS.<\/p>\n In text speak, if you have too.<\/p>\n “RU SRS? GTYR, YG! 143.”<\/p>\n (Are you serious? Go to your room, you’re grounded!
