Dead / I'm Dead

Teen slang, explained for parents.

What it means

Something is so funny it metaphorically killed them. "I'm dead" or "that's dead" means it's extremely hilarious. Not alarming despite the language.

How to bring it up with your kid

No concern. Just dramatic humor. If they text you "I'm dead" it means something was funny.

Calm guidance for raising kids in a digital world.
