Washington, DC (TLS). Parents, you may want to educate yourselves on today's teen lingo if you want to protect your teenagers from drugs and illicit sex. According to a major study released yesterday, teens are using code words in their text messages to hide the fact that they are talking sex and drugs.
The study reports that there is an entire underground language to designate things such as pot, Ecstasy, cocaine, and other drugs, as well as lingo that indicates where to meet up to use them.
In addition, one out of ten text messages are explicitly sexual in nature. Yet parents often believe their underage teens are innocent simply because they are not familiar with the terms their kids are using.
With pedophiles on the prowl as never before, it is vitally important for parents to learn the terms their kids are using in order to protect them from online predators and to monitor inappropriate behavior.
