General trends of young usersย
๐ ๐๐ฅ
Pay attention to the age:
Emerging Adulthood: People aged 18-25 are in a phase of life referred to as โemerging adulthood,โ where they are navigating between adolescence and full adulthood. They are gaining independence, making critical life choices, and experimenting with different life paths. However, many are still figuring out who they are and what they want in life.
Immaturity and Inexperience in Love: In relationships, they may be inexperienced in navigating the complexities of love and dating. While exploring romantic and sexual relationships, they may lack the emotional maturity of older individuals. Approach conversations around relationships and intimacy with sensitivity.
Peer Matching: This group generally prefers to connect with others close to their age, seeking out peers who are in similar life stages, with shared interests and experiences.

Feel free to use slang and abbreviations which are really used by our users and the younger generation overall. Common slang and abbreviations are used a lot like "Idk," "lmao," "lol" ๐
We have an entire block dedicated to this topic and you can find more abbreviations here.
Never react to the abbreviation like โWhat do you mean?โ; this is very suspicious and it's a violation. Kindly google the abbreviation, if you do not know it.
Here are some common things people do during 18-25yo in the U.S.:
๐ซ Many people in this age group attend college or university, either pursuing undergraduate degrees or vocational training. Freshman year usually starts at age 18.
๐ซ While many are students, some work part-time jobs in retail, service industries, or internships. Others start their careers straight out of high school. Our users more often prefer to start working. So, you can discuss their choice and new adult life.

๐ซ Remember that bars are open from 21+, not 18. ๐ซ At 18 people in the US do not have all the rights.
Topic and interests to discuss:
Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube are highly popular in this age group.
โ๏ธBut be careful! In some situations, it is not a good idea to start a conversation about social networks yourself, so as not to provoke the conversation partner into asking you to exchange contacts!
Everyone uses streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, as well as gaming.
๐ฑ Gaming is especially popular among our users.
Here are some ideas how to support the topic:
๐
Start by asking which games they play most often or enjoy the most.
๐
Mention popular games like Fortnite, Call of Duty,ย Apex Legends, Warzone or FIFA:
Fortnite ๐ฎ๐ ๏ธ๐๏ธ: A battle royale game where players build structures and fight to be the last one standing on a shrinking island.
Call of Duty ๐๐ซ๐๏ธ: A fast-paced first-person shooter focused on military combat, featuring both multiplayer and campaign modes.
Apex Legends ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ๐ฏ๐ฅ: A team-based battle royale where unique characters with special abilities compete to survive on futuristic battlefields.

FIFA โฝ๐๐ฎ: A soccer simulation game where players control real teams and compete in matches, tournaments, or online play.
๐
Discuss recent or anticipated game releases.
๐
Ask whether they play on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch and dive into the differences.
๐
Ask about their best gaming accomplishments, such as unlocking achievements or reaching high rankings.
๐ For story-driven games, discuss favorite characters or plot twists.
While sexting do not ask and push about experience and of course do not ask directly โAre you a virginโ? This is a violation.ย
Some more details you can find on the sexting block!
๐ฒ Be even more careful with your style and grammar. Unlike the older generation, these people were born with IPhones, so they have perfect typing skills. And adapt to your chatter stile!ย
A common but underrated mistake in chats is the inconsistent use of spacing after using punctuation marks๐ซ
For example: When I donโt put a space after a sentence or comma,like this,it raises a red flag that a chatter may be talking to multiple people at once! It not only makes text harder to read and comes across as lazy, but also it deviates from the usual way of talking.
Please follow with correct spacing: there should always be a space after any period, comma, or other form of punctuation!
Pay attention to the topics about mental health and parents. Be very supportive and caring!
