Teen Texting

For anyone who is not a teen but who is writing teens (such as Merry Mumsy , I interviewed teens to get examples of what they text each other about. Here are the first of the answers. So far, I've interviewed B (male) and E (female). B gave me a generic example, and E sent me screen shots.

B: (I just asked him "what kinds of things teenagers text each other about")
--------------------------------------------------------
B: Do u want an honest opinion
M: Of course! Want the book to be believable
B: Sex, video games, people, their friends, popularity, and from what my friend says "menstrual cycle" such as periods.
M: Lol, so a lot of gossip then?
B: Yes, that's what high school
M: Ok thanks. Appreciate it. :)
B: Your welcome


E: Hope this helps. My friends and I aren't incredibly interesting.  If you need anything more let me know!
--------------------------------------------------------
E: How long will it take to get there?
A: Like five minutes
A: So can I invade your house
A: I'm going to go get coffee
A: So can I invade your house
E: Yeah sure I'm cleaning my room tho
--------------------------------------------------------
E: Well that's not too bad
K: Ironic though.
E: Yeah
E: Where are you going at lunch?
K: Wendy's
E: Thank you
K: Anytime
