For the first time the #hateoff platform introduces a pioneering tool that is useful not only for young people and their digital literacy, but also for parents, who have a responsibility to protect their children in their digital lives. FamJis is a protective shield for young people and parents against #sexting, #revengeporn and #cyberbullying.

With students having constant access to social media, text messages (SMS–MMS), and the web, they have developed a secret, coded language that in a way “hides” and “protects” their behaviour from parents and teachers.

Some students who use code words and secret #hashtags may feel that they can behave inappropriately more easily because their parents do not always know what they are discussing. It is important for parents and educators to stay informed about this constantly changing youth slang, which is so widely present and increasingly relevant on social media today.

In the dedicated FamJis section, whose name comes from the combination of the words Family and Emojis, you will regularly find, in waves, an updated and comprehensive list of teen slang, social media terms, popular acronyms, the hidden meanings of emojis, and dangerous hashtags that parents and educators should know.

55+ “Secret” Emoji Meanings

Emojis are pictographic characters approved and encoded as part of the digital language system maintained by the Unicode Consortium. While they are programmed images with “official” meanings, the social use of these images often creates “secret” or “hidden” messages.

170+ Popular Teen Slang Expressions
