Twitter + Young Teens

[Trento]

So any child that is now 10 or 12 I suppose, would have grown up with broadband in their house, with tv's social media etc.. however if you have spent any time on Twitter, now I say Twitter because Facebook is the same but Twitter is public and faster and such any comments have little thought process gone into them, for the fact that the streams of tweets on peoples dashboards makes Twitter very fast.

Anyway, if you have seen the sort of language young teens use on Twitter, and especially those which become worldwide hastags, like "replacesongtitlewith****" etc.. I have seen these daily. I have no problem with it but it's far too easy and the type of language on Twitter has no thought or consideration what so ever. Now if you have grown up in this environment, how do you know any different?

It is pretty much the same on Facebook just a bit slower, and everyone uses facebook.

It's the fault of lazy parents, nothing else.

and everyone uses facebook.

I'm a superior human being than anyone else and I just laugh at people who use Facebook because it's so stupid.
Why not just pick up a phone and try and get 700 friends in on the same conversation or use email and keep forwarding messages all over the place?
I've got my life covered.

I managed to get a vague grasp of the opening post, but the sentence structure is abysmal.

So basically what you're saying is kids today are swearing and stuff, and its on the social networks...

Oh okay. Well I dont really see it as I dont have kids on my social network accounts

I find it particularly annoying when I hear younger people speak out the word "Hashtag".

"Hashtag awkward".

You know something must be really really bad when Reddit is being bandied about as the more mature solution.

I think I would cringe if I heard someone say that

I've still to work out how the number sign can be called crunch and why they use it in the Linux distro Crunchbang #!

My mum does this, I admit it makes me smile a little, mostly just impressed she's put the time in to make herself fairly computer literate.

ban tbh.

I like your new sig

As for the OP, if kids have any grain of intelligence they will know what language is appropriate where. someone may be rude on twitter, but actually be a very nice, professional person in real life. Also, parents will have a lot to do with it. If they let their kids speak inappropriately in public then they should be shot...
