This guy at school who my sister knows keeps meowing. My sister also has him added on social media, where he sends random videos of farting, burping, or him saying stuff in a weird voice to all his contacts of people his age?

Is this just typical teenage boy behavior? I didn’t talk to many boys at that age, nor were they American/English-speaking boys so I don’t know.

There's a concept in Japanese called chuunibyou, which translates to "8th grade syndrome." Basically, teenagers (and especially early teenagers) are exceptionally cringe. Frankly, I feel reasonably confident that everyone has at least several memories that keep them up at night from that time in their lives. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Some important things that happened in high school I posted about using the worst xD speak ever and I hate seeing them.

A friend blocked my number for a week because I wouldn't stop texting him and talking to him in "ermagerd" speak.

Ermahgerd I'm so sorry to hear that. Rest in pieces. This is so sad, Alexa, play Despacito.
