Many adults feel pressured to use slang that they are not familiar with or fake interest in certain kinds of entertainment in an effort to build a sense of closeness to a young person in their lives. Teenagers can see right through this and as result may not take you as seriously. If you’ve made a breakthrough with a teen and they are even considering what you have to say then the chances are that they respect and admire you just the way you are. Take an active interest in their culture and activities, but if it isn’t quite your speed that’s OK too. They are usually just happy that you’ve shown some interest in the first place.
