Lowkey / Highkey

Teen slang, explained for parents.

What it means

"Lowkey" means on the down-low, subtly, or a little bit. "I lowkey want pizza." "Highkey" is the opposite: openly and obviously. "I highkey failed that test." Used constantly in everyday conversation.

How to bring it up with your kid

No concern at all. Just intensity modifiers. You can use them back casually.

Calm guidance for raising kids in a digital world.
