The usage of slang terminology

I think that your peers influence you more in language because of the factor of trying to fit in. I also believe that every single child, until an certain age, has a natural rebelous stage. And until each individual finds his/her "swaggar" we are just repeating what we saw and found interesting. Do you know the expression "theres nothing new under the sun"? I feel as if this expression refers to actions, style, and language. It soundas crazy but for some odd reason younger people would rather make up words with multiple meanings, then take the time and properly learn the formal language of their country. I also believe the constant usage of slang termology is refered to laziness of the brain. Now this falls back on the fact that some younger people in urban neighborhoods aren't urged to do well or even attend school on a rergular basis. When you attend school, it's as if it were a gym for your mind. it constantly uses and excercises the brain. With this constant usage, it is easier to properly pronounce words that seem confusing to an underdevoloped mind. But on the other hand slang terminology is also used as "code" in most urban areas so I guess it has it's importance.

    It is true that some teenager would try to fit in by using slang language. They may influence younger generation without. That young children be listen to use the same world has teenager to fit in are to be cool with other children. I create what you see about children my make up work to be lazy use the English language correctly. For example, how younger generation have use words on text message so they can type less character to talk to their friends are chat other groups.
