What can be worse then those fears we have as adults?
Why, teen angst fear of course!
This post was inspired after reading my high school age cousins posts on facebook.
God, I hope that they know how to write a complete sentence with proper grammar and syntax!

Write On Edge: Red-Writing-Hood
This week, we invited you to compose a text–160 characters–that would either elicit or express fear.

  5. This makes me think of the article I'm writing on cyber-bullying. Now THAT'S some scary stuff. Great job bringing a realistic fear across...and great job making it even more realistic with your language.

  8. Clever way to deliver in the writing challenge.
    I swear the way some kids text it's like they've invented another bastardized language.

  12. Excellent, you did a great job capturing the reality of current text/tweet vernacular. Also, I think even as an adult the thought of other people knowing something that I had hoped would stay secret is pretty scary! :-)

  15. Ugg... the lack of writing complete sentences & not spelling words out. That in itself is scary...
