Internet has affected virtually every aspect of
human lives. But the increasing way at which
teenagers immerse themselves in this trend has
brought up new challenges, especially for parents
who will have to keep up with the constantly
changing internet/mobile technology and its lingua –
Parenting has never been this difficult.
Imagine this scenario, your daughter is sitting
beside you on the coach and she’s sex texting
without you having a inkling of what she’s doing –
even when you can view her SMS. Would you be able
to interpret this message if she writes, I’ll GNOC
as soon as 99. (see our list for its meaning)
Therefore, parents need to get acquainted with
the language used by their children to be able to
succeed at parenting, particularly, in our climes
where good family names are held in high esteem.
Here, we present to you a list by CNN’s
correspondent, Kelly Wallace, who compiled popular
acronyms widely used by teens on Internet,social
media and texting apps.
