When it comes to our teenage girls, there is a new verbal
fashion trend of epidemic proportions – like, ya know, um, ah, I mean,
whatever, ya, I can’t, I can’t even…
In preparation for my upcoming panel presentation on how to
“Say it Like You Mean it,” I reached out to my Digital Daughter Ambassadors
(DDAs) to ask what they thought about the “like, ya know syndrome” and other
verbal habits, their pervasiveness and potential downfalls. I was curious about the girls’ level of
awareness and whether they wished they could get rid of their own involuntary
verbal tics.
