Teen Slang - Help us!

September 05, 2024 Alix Mackey & Nicole Stassinopoulos Episode 48

Ever felt like you're living in a different language when talking to your teen? In this episode, we dive into the wild world of teen slang and the struggles parents face in keeping up. From "bruh" at the breakfast table to deciphering cryptic texts, we’re sharing our hilarious and often cringe-worthy experiences navigating this new lingo. We talk about the blurred lines between casual and respectful communication, fueled by social media influences and pandemic-era interactions. Join us as we unpack the slang overload, share funny parenting stories, and reflect on how the evolving language of today’s teens can leave us feeling a little "mid."

In this episode, we talk about the following:
1. Teenage slang and its impact on parent-child communication.
2. Changing language norms and social media influence.
3. Importance of teaching manners and etiquette to teenagers.
