OUR
FIRST MAIL IS A LAD WHO IS HAPPY TO BE IN THE ICE-AGE:
Hi,
I'm in my early 20s and I only
know just two of those 28 listed (he is referring to our post: 28 Internet acronyms every parent
should know). Frankly I'm quite happy with the
rock I'm living under.
...Chigozie - Sheffield, UK
WHILE
OUR SECOND PREFERS MSN TO FACEBOOK OR WHATSAPP:
28? Hell! I remember g2g, brb, and ttly. That is about
it... Those were the days...Good ol'
msn instant messenger days.
...Daniel
Francis, United States.
THEN
THIS GUY THINKS THE PRACTICE HAS BEEN THERE FOR AGES:
Hey,
I will be surprised if anybody shows any hint of shock
by this revelation. Kids have been like that for a long time. You're kids very
well might have been no better than your idea of what they are today. The
difference is that instead of having these conversations face to face, where
there is little to no chance of you discovering what they say/do kids now write
it down so what they are saying can be discovered later. I mean, polaroids have
been around for 50+ years...

WHILE
THIS PARENT IS SIMPLY HORRIFIED:
Hello,
Just want to ask if anybody else is
terrified of being a parent after reading this article? (he is referring to our
post: 28 Internet acronyms every parent should know)
Makes me glad that my teenagers won't ever have their own phone - at least until they get their own job.

NOW
MEET THOSE WHO WON'T FAULT THE KIDS:
In spite of the more aggressive
online behavior, the writer failed to mention or correlate any information about
teen pregnancy or actual physical relationships in the teenage range. This is
some good information to be aware of but it may need some counter-weight in the
form of actual numbers and stats so that parents don't put a chastity belt/app
on their kids phones (the Boko-Haram way) or start writing the book on
"Technology and the Devil: A brief tutorial on how they're the exact same
thing"

Hi
360talkatives,
Okay; i admit that I am not as
connected to the youth of today as i used to be...but i feel like a lot of
these acronyms are contrived. this article is click bait IMHO (see what i did
there?) with snapchat; what's the need for acronyms anymore?
...Propaganda,

THEN
FINALLY THIS DUDE FINDS IT FUNNY:
Hi,
I remember the funny/sad incident
when a mother 1) foolishly used Facebook posts to send personal messages to her
daughter, and 2) misunderstood LOL to think it meant "lots of love".
Consequently, she wrote:
"Honey, I am afraid that Grandma has died. LOL."
...illl. B, Washington D.C
WE
ALSO HAVE MAILS ON THE MOM WHO WAS KILLED:
Hi,
I just read your story on the murdered mom. It is a very sad thing
to see a young person die in such a manner. Being a Nigerian is not even safe
anymore. Unfortunately we don't have a security system that can pick out crime
while it happens. It is very sad that our current culture sometimes puts this
in a petty perspective as we are eager to place the blame on a member of her
family when in essence we should be doing more. I am saddened by this type of
activity. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.
...Stella
Okupe -Abuja , Nigeria
Rest in peace Ma. That's the much we'll
expect from the world and the Nigeria Police. We have never learnt from our
mistakes.
...Jonah Kehinde - Ibadan, Nigeria
AND A
MAIL FROM AN ANGRY FOOTBALL FAN:
Please can someone just explain to me how Brendan Rodgers started
this night's game without Coutinho? You need to win to progress without stress
yet you bench your most-creative player! Argggghhhh!!!
...NotInMyName - OAU, Osun, Nigera
THEN
FINALLY, ANOTHER FAN WHO LOVES OUR SITE:
Hi 360,
Just writing in to say, keep it up. While every other persons who
go into blogging recently know nothing more than just publicizing gossip and
indecent videos, it is refreshing to find a place where I can get a good read on
some good tips and topics without stumbling on an eye-wrecker. Great site!
...Laura - (I think I know you
Chimezie) Lagos, Nigeria
