Any slang is time sensitive. Remember yourself at this age. Internet jargon is now in fashion. And this is not surprising: children do not part with laptops, tablets or smartphones.
The reasons
Slang serves representatives of certain categories, strata, classes of society, representatives of different professions in order to separate their own from strangers. But sometimes the teenager's overuse of slang words is a bad sign. What is this talking about?
About low intelligence
Children sit at home, constantly chatting with each other. Therefore, computer vocabulary and its derivatives are the basis of modern jargon. However, an overabundance of such expressions directly indicates a poor vocabulary and low level of intelligence. Want to develop your child? Invite him to read more books. Just not what is required to study at school. Children will be more interested in reading about their peers, about their experiences and unrequited love.
About riot
Sometimes slang is a protest against adults. An unloved child often seeks to shock, cause anger, and hit parents. All in order to attract their attention. Analyze relationships in your family. Solve all the problems, and then the teenager will begin to express himself more clearly.
About the desire to follow fashion. Forums and sites on the Internet, TV shows and magazines are full of expressions that directly affect the communication style of children. At the age of eleven or fifteen, it is difficult to understand that all this is imposed artificially, and fashion is fleeting. Try to explain to the child what advertising is and how it differs from eternal values. And although this is difficult, it is always important not to be like the rest, but to remain a person.
What should parents do?
Dads and mothers can try to learn teen slang and even use it in their speech. But from the outside it looks ridiculous. Others try to forbid their children to use such expressions. But slang is an integral part of adolescent subculture. Do not fight with jargon or try to master it. It’s better to teach your child that you can only communicate with friends this way. But with parents, teachers, strangers it is necessary to use a literary language.
