Aura

Teen slang, explained for parents.

What it means

Your overall energy, reputation, or social standing, where "he lost aura" means he did something embarrassing, and "aura points" are gained or lost based on how cool or cringe someone acts, so it is basically a social scorecard used as humor.

How to bring it up with your kid

No real concern, just social humor. Ask them: "How many aura points do I have?" They'll love telling you.

Calm guidance for raising kids in a digital world.
