Why is that? What's the point of this blog? From this I presume teens are your target audience, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should use "a teen's voice." And even if you do, you probably shouldn't WRITE the way they TALK in the malls (maybe dialogue, but even a teen writing or recreating dialogue on a blog is likely to leave out most or all the "well," "like," "you know" stuff).Hi there!
I have to write a blog in a teen's 'voice'?
There are teens right here on AW, you can read their blogs, but I don't think I'd consider them typical teen blogs, as just their being on AW indicates they're more interested than the average teen in writing well. But there's lots of other teens who have blogs online.How do teen speak thes days???
Can you point to samples online maybe?
Thanks!
What's a skater??? I'm so out of it, I feel fortunate I have a clue what goth is.What sort of teen? Goth, jock, skater, nerd?
Yes. They're better off sticking to complete gibberish. They may not be able to understand eachoter, but at least they will still be able to text.I'd be careful. The moment teens figure out an adult can mimic their voice/slang/vocabulary, they'll just change things up again.
It's like, um, this thing, you know, like with that guy from chem class, where he was like just standing there and um, had to get to class.It depends where abouts you live. I'm 16 and don't really talk that differently.
I've never really heard anyone speak in text speak, i've heard a few people say L.O.L, but when they do most teens look at them like 'what the hell?'
Teens use alot of ellipsis <-- (think that's how it's spelt.) Not ellipsis like the (...) dots But like fillers. If you know what that means.
We also don't usually talk about anything important, lol.
