You know our country is in turmoil when the youth are agitated enough to vote in an election. 45% of Generation Z (born between 1996-2015) plans to vote in this election compared to 27% last year. Between the coronavirus pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement, young voters have become politically active.
This is good news for the Dems because 60% of Gen Z voters are Democrats and just 33% are Republicans. Hope! And, young people get their political information from social media (67%) and major news networks (62%).
Colleges should be guiding Gen Z voters to get registered and collect the information and documents they need to vote in November because this will be the first time many college students vote. The youth may just be what the Dems need to replace the current administration in the White House.

I remember back in the 60s and 70s when my generation’s slang was a unique form of communication created to exclude the “square” older generation. It was kind of like speaking in Pig Latin as a code during slumber parties and in elementary school. Well today, a clever high school teacher created a slang dictionary of Generation Z’s vocabulary.
Unlike our generation where we used completely different words, Gen Z teens add a little gangsta for some of their phrases – “Witchu” for “with you.” But they also use clever phrase like “spill the tea” for “gossip – as in something you do while having tea with gossipy old ladies.”
One thing for sure: our English language constantly changes –whether we like it or not – so take a look at this slang dictionary to get up to speed with the Gen Z. In order to communicate with these young people, we need to understand their new slang.
