Text messaging has become the norm these days, especially among the younger generation. Personally, on our family plan, we use about 1,000 text messages a month. Sounds like a lot right? Well believe it or not, we use it a lot less than many other people. ESPECIALLY teenagers. In fact, the average text total for teens each month is 1,700.
Many parents out there (including mine) have figured out, or are at least trying to figure out this new medium of communication. The hard part is not really sending or recieving a text message, more often, it's trying to decypher them. If you don't know what text terms like ROTFLOL, CYE, or BBL, don't worry, there is an answer.
A new website lets you translate text messages you don't understand. Cell phone maker LG has launched http://www.lgdtxtr.com/
You simply enter in the word you don't understand, and click for your 'translation.' If you enter BBL, you will learn it means be back later.
So don't worry any longer about having to appear uncool to your kids. Remember, @TEOTD, you SHB SETE, LOL!
