Cooked

Teen slang, explained for parents.

What it means

Finished, done for, ruined. "If my mum sees this I'm cooked." Used to describe being in trouble, failing, or being beyond help in a situation. Dramatic but almost always used humorously.

How to bring it up with your kid

No real concern. Normal slang. If they say "I'm cooked" about a test, ask what happened. It's an opening, not a crisis.

Calm guidance for raising kids in a digital world.
