TEXTING TIPS FOR PARENTS |
|
|
“It's getting to the point that you could probably have a whole conversation over text messaging and not write a single word,” a quote from CliffsNotes says it all. |
If you are new to text messaging/texting and want to know what your children are saying, here are a few of the most common abbreviations you might see. Text messaging is currently the most common way for children and their parents to communicate. But remember that no one should ever text while driving a car.
Certain schools are planning to communicate emergency messages via texting based on studies than show that text messages are read faster than phone messages are heard.
Text messages usually involve abbreviated words to save time, money and energy. Here are some basic text abbreviations:
- AYT – Are you there?
- AML – All my love
- B4N – Bye for now
- BBS – Be back soon
- BC or CUZ – Because
- BIF – Before I forget
- CM – Call me
- CMB – Call me back
- CU – See you
- FYEO – For your eyes only
- GG – Gotta go
- HRU – How are you?
- LOL – Lots of love, lots of luck, lots of laughter
- OTP – On the phone
- RUOK – Are you okay?
- SM – Senior Moment
- S2U – Same to you
- TY, THX or TX or THKS - Thank you
- TTYL – Talk to you later
