Art Classroom Note
I found this on the floor in a British secondary school art classroom. Written by girls aged between 11 and 16, it tells an evocative story of young life in today's modern urban Britain.

Ohhhhhhhhh [possibly written by third person]
Notes:
1. Venom is a horrifying nightclub in Berkshire with an under-18s night.
2. "dogh" is easily the best ever youth culture mis-spelling of "though".
3. There are people in the world who actually write lol on paper, in real life. The nature of writing a secret note in class means you cannot actually be laughing out loud, as doing so would arouse suspicion in the teacher almost immediately. Thus, like almost all people who ever type LOL, these girls are liars.

Please note that the Venom Under 18s website is sponsored by Ribena. Aspartame is the new ecstasy clearly.
I agree that LOL is completely inappropriate in a classroom. Better would be SM, standing for 'Silent Mirth', a term successfully employed in many Bash Street Kids cartoons during the early 80s.
oh dear, that just made my skin crawl... kids actually do (sort of) "speak" like that. What happened to the days when you had to read something properly so as to understand the sense? No emoticons to help you out... oh the scandal!
I sound old. I swear I'm not!
u guyz r old nd obsleet u shud preper 2 make wy 4 ur nu supriors as ur servc is no lngr reqyrd lol serusly dogh thx 4 all ur hrd wurk uve ben gr8 hehe :@)
All young people should be shot. Sorry, sht.
I just love your blog!
hahaha! i'm (only?) 24 and i don;t understand a word of that note-- is shortneing it like that supposed to make it easier??
Where have you gone? This is brilliant.
Great ephemera...paper scraps are often overlooked but provide poetry if one looks close. Ephemera, so often under-appreciated, is a joy to see featured here.
I am 15 and have often had conversations in classroom via notes and written 'lol'. I think that using 'lol' in a note to someone who undersatnds its meaning is perfectly fine and does not make you a liar. It simply implies to the other person or people that though you cannot physically do it in the classroom, you would be laughing out loud if you were actually holding a verbal conversation with them.
S as in :)
But when I read the bread recipes I did LOL, several times.
I got here by way of flickr and it's cheered up my evening, thanks :)
hahaha, i love it
I'm 15, and I don't write notes or talk like that in real life.
This is completely embarrassing for my generation.
