R Yhu Serious!?

First off, apparently middle schoolers text “yhu” instead of “you.” Obviously this makes no sense. The h button is all but a cm closer on the keyboard so I really don’t think it makes a difference. They were actually quite surprised that I didn’t type it as yhu.

Amidst the attempt at a AVID tutorial, somehow I got asked something along the lines of “Do you get hot girls?” I asked what he meant by “get” as this was a particularly vague word. The response was something like, “You know, get.” This stumbled onto one of the girls adding, “Like friends with benefits.” I forget what my response was. It must have either been a dead stare, a sarcastic repeat of “friends with benefits” or a “Are you SERIOUS.” She promptly informed me that he has friends with bs, and she does, and the 2 other girls at the table do. I was thoroughly disappointed. When asked of my own friends/hot girls and such, I answered somewhat straightly that I have many friends that are girls, but definitely no friends with benefits (my abbreviation, not theirs) and have not gotten anybody. I want to just pound some morality and logic into their little heads. Unfortunately this was not the time to be discussing anything like this and the bell rang. What possess these little kids to do these things! They are also the most gossipy girls I have ever heard. At least when I was in middle school, I am pretty sure they at least made some form of a more solid relationship than friends with benefits. It is really saddening. I wish I could do something.
