At-Risk Youth
Bet that, Word, Put that on my dead homey.
All common phrases and dialects that juveniles speak on a daily basis.
Keeping up with the lingo comes quite easy considering I have been around it for over 15 years.
Working in a juvenile setting which consist of mostly at risk males and females ranging from age 10-17 involves dealing with attitude, rebellion, and much slang.
These teens tend to have their own set of rules and form of communicating with each other.
This can vary from the males to the females but both of them understands each other.
Depending on the situation and their surroundings also determines the dialect that will be used.
The most glorified word that these teens use on a daily basis is the "N" word.
It seems to work as a noun, verb, and an adjective.
For instant it is can be used to compliment or to degrade an individual.
Teens involved in an altercation or demonstrating anger and hostility can verbalize these actions through not only their body language but also through verbal expression.
When a teen feels disrespected or not given the clout or hype he or she thinks that they deserve, they will tell that person to 'Get out there,' or 'Run Up'.
They also talk about what they will do, 'I Blast Fools' or 'I Bust Head, I'm a Head Buster'.
The change over the years for teen slang hasn't changed too much over the years but it has become more mainstream.
Internet, music videos, and cable television has the most effect on how our youth communicate.
If we see it or hear it from a superstar athlete or a famous celebrity then it must be hip.
