Do you think she would bother if she didn't care??  Listen, writing and talking that way right now is a kick, but when you are out in the adult world, that nonsense just won't fly.  If you can't put together a viable and coherent sentence, you will get NOWHERE!  Bosses won't think much of your abilities OR your intelligence.. even though you might be extremely intelligent.. \nHave the self respect to be the very best you can be.. at all things INCLUDING the way you express yourself.  It will show you to be the intelligent person you truly are.  THAT is what your Mom hopes for you..  the very best.

Have you mentioned this to an adult that you trust? It is very possible that your father doesn't realize that he shouldn't be talking like that to you and doesn't realize how it is affecting you. Is your mom around? Try to talking to her if she is. Or talk to a close family member or teacher/guidance counselor about it. It's ok for your dad to get mad at you, but he shouldn't be saying obscene or scary things to you.

If you check their other questions, you'll find that they are just fooling around. Most of the time, at least one of their other questions will be- "I'm 14 N want a cell phone. Mom sez No. What do U think." \n\nOr something to that effect. That text message dialect is a dead give away that it's just a kid playing around.

I hate it when my dad does this, he is such a beotch, and I think its totally fucked up when he does this, he don't respect my privacy.  I know he does it all the time because at his funeral I was told he is watching over me all the damn time.

man o man i agree with you. I mean im almost 15 and i agree that your mom shouldn't get in trouble. I have an abusive brother and they told my mom and dad that they were only aloud to restrain him, but it sounds like its only your mom doing it and its even hard for just my dad to restrain my bro so i couldnt really see how your mom could do that to your sis. and people who dress gothic and crap just look like fricken retards. they need to get over themselves and get a fricken life! they wonder why nobody likes them and its b./c of all that nasty crap they put on themselves. i know its a way to express yourself but come on find a different way to do it!!!!! also there has been many time that my bro has tried to kill my mom and i think yall should try getting her tested for ADHD and also maybe get her a councilor

The more you show him that this word upsets you, the more he'll say it. He knows it pushes your buttons. Hey, he's a little brother. That's the way they are. It's their job to snitch on you, copy everything you say & do, and find words that annoy you. Unfortunately, if he's not listening to your good counsel about keeping his yap shut, someone will do it for him, relieving you of all responsibility. So, if you've told him, and you've told your parents, your job's done. Let the chips fall where they will. And don't allow him to see that it bothers you. This works well on all the other stuff that he's been annoying you with too. How do I know this? I'm a little sister, though grown up now. <*)))><

Dude,\n\nCun u inderstando me?  thun their is know problum with mispilling or flapping the slang down by the juju bi bop?  Dig!\nPhat, way phat.  Chicks, cool cats, and all you homie gangstas dig, like you know?\n\n\n.......see the problem ?  By using a narrowly accepted form of communication you are cutting off the rest of the world from understanding you.  Is this your goal?

Its hard with a mother like that i would ask her why she says these things and confront her about it and tell her if she continues to make you feel miserable then you might be better off without her.  Its not always the best thing to do but sometimes you have too

Sounds to me like your getting your period! welcome to the club! YOU ARE NOW BECOMING A WOMAN! Go have that uncomfortable yet short talk with your mom. Good Luck!

No I don't, but that hasn't stopped her from sticking her nose into my business. Always listen to mom out of respect. You are an adult simply say Yes you are right or no that is just not me. Say I love you Mom thanks for the advice. And change the subject. (have one ready at all times)

I can understnad how you feel. It must be very frustrating. Has she explained why? Maybe she can't afford it or maybe she is trying to protect you. Actually it does sound like she does not want you to be meeting men who take advantage of kids on the internet with messaging and calling their cell phones and she is smart to be this way. You don't sound mature enough to be able to spot a creep and to know how to handle it. You could get raped or hurt very badly in a way that would affect you the rest of your life.  Please don't hate her, I think she is only trying to protect you from harm. She loves you very much!

Because your mom makes fun of you and makes you cry! She should not be doing this and it sounds like you have an unhappy family life. I don't blame you for not being so open at home!  It sounds like it is emotional abuse from her. Hope you have someone you can talk to about it regularly, someone you can trust, so that you can stand it better.

ur preaching 2 th quire.\n\nSorry. I have asked and answered this question several times myself, and just can't seem to wrap my mind around what some of the others are saying.\n\nI have heard that the prevalence of this so-called SMS language is because the young minds on this site (and others) are so thirsty for information that they cannot take time to properly phrase their Q's or A's. I cry "shenanigans." Anyone with a full QWERTY keyboard in front of them has no excuse. \n\nI've also heard that this is an "evolution" of the language, and that if "ppl" understand what is being written, what's the problem? I've got to say that I have a hard time parsing some of the gibberish I read here, so what's the response to that?\n\nWithout clear communication the system breaks down. It's as clear as that. We need more emphasis on clearly getting our thoughts across using the standards that we have agreed on (English spelling and grammar).\n\nI can't say it enough times: I agree, I agree, I agree.\n\nLoved the book, by the way. I even gave a copy to my Dad for Christmas. The sound of irony was deafening.

hi its  tikkibum  my opinion  i feel its  just a very bad habit that  ppl have picked up  over time being on chats  and such   and maybe sometimes  their typing is not really the greatest even my typing suks  see  even suks is not the  proper way to type it out  but  i do it  as it is easier to type it out  just like  y'all  is just a slang way of  typing  i wouldnt let it bother u as  everybody has their own way of lingo  and  anyways  just happens to be  one of them
