Dear Writers and Readers,
We noticed some less-than-exemplary behavior on Prose today, which forced us to take action against some users. This is a gentle reminder that, while we try to remain as uncensored as possible, some forms of content are simply intolerable. Please note the following passage from our Terms of Service, under Prohibited Content:
Content that is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing, threatening, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable, or invasive of privacy or publicity rights;
In today’s case, harassment was the keyword. We have taken steps to punish infringing users, and prevent future infringements. Note that we will not be adjudicating arguments, disagreements, or squabbles between users, unless we deem the language used to be grossly abusive or inflammatory.
1. We have added a report button to all posts. You’ll find the button in the lower-right options menu (indicated by an ellipsis icon) of every post. If you encounter a post that violates the Terms of Service, please report it.
2. We have instituted a temporary posting restriction policy against first-time offenders. If we find that you have been harassing folks, spamming, or posting any other sort of Prohibited Content, you will be prevented from posting, commenting, and sending messages for a minimum of three days. Repeat offenders will be permanently banned.
3. We have added an internal feature to remove offensive posts. Posts that violate our Terms of Service, or that provoke grossly abusive or toxic comment threads, will be marked as such and removed after 24 hours. During that period, commenting on such posts will be disabled.
Refer to Section 10 of our Terms of Service for all forms of Prohibited Content: https://theprose.com/p/legal/terms

A simple guide to how teens talk
Here is a quick list of phrases to know when conversing with a teen.
I've found that many of my slightly "older" friends need a translator when they are out or seeing something a teen sent. This is basically my second language....If I didn't have to take Spanish, I'd take teen and get an A. If there are any other terms that you want defined, leave a comment!
i'm shook
shocked. eg. OMG that movie was so crazy, i'm shook!!
its lit
1) really cool or fun 2) under the influence
eg. The party last night was LIT bro!
fam
close friends, homies
eg. What up fam!
deadass
seriously
eg. i ain't lying bro, I'm deadass
can’t even
too ridiculous.....
eg. Bro, I can't even.....
bye felicia
just leave. NOW
eg. "hey guys i'm leaving" "bye felicia!"
Use this in your teen dialogue for stories! Lately I've been reading a lot of YA and the type of teens written in the books are just not relatable. Teens today text. They use this slang.
This is how teens today talk. Watch some Jake Paul or something and you'll hear all of these like 100x
originally shared here: https://commaful.com/play/pluto/how-to-talk-teen/ it even got featured on the trending page for 2 days :D :D https://commaful.com/tags/
Author note: this is my first post here so figured I'd post a short fun one as a test. Plan to post some longer original work in the future. Also follow me in Wattpad! https://www.wattpad.com/user/plutoistheworld

The Introduction
Hi everyone and anyone who may be seeing this. My name is Lizzy and I write all the time. I would even say it's my favorite hobby.
I'm a Wattpad writer, and the farthest my work has gone is 19K reads, and a top 1000 ranking of 941 in the Fanfiction Genre (Wattpad of course)
Besides fanfiction, I write action, horror, thriller, mystery, poetry, and romance.
Now that you know my writing a bit, I'd love to get to know some of you.
Sincerely,
translucent
