If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with Web pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.?

And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF(=sense of humor failure) to describe Internet newcomers who don't understand you.

Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.?

It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's brief: three or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.?

And it requires tremendous linguistic economy. There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why consume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI(=pardon me for jumping in).  Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the nearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.?

If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF(=on the floor),or LOL(=laughing out loud),or combine the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).?

And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG(=got to go) or TTYL(talk to you later).?

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and capitals. Punctuation is going, too.?

Body image is a person's opinions, thoughts, and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. Having a positive body image means feeling pretty satisfied with the way you look，appreciating your body for its capabilities and accepting its imperfections. Body image is part of someone's total self-image. So how a guy feels about his body can affect how he feels about himself.

Recognize your strengths. Different physical qualities and body types are good for different things — and sometimes the things you did well as a kid can change during puberty (青春期）.What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, flexibility, strength, or coordination leads you to excel at a certain sport. Or perhaps you have some non-sports skills. Just exploring talents that you feel good about can help your self-respect and how you think of yourself.

A good body doesn't always translate into athletic success. Too often, the way guys see their body image is closely associated with their performance on a sports field or in the gym. But what if you don't like team sports or you got cut from a team you really wanted to make?

If you don't like team sports，find another form of physical activity that gets you going. This will help you stay in shape and help you to appreciate the skills you may not have realized you had in a team environment.

If you like team sports but didn't make a particular team，use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at, not to regret what you aren't best at.

Look into starting a strength training program. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good builds don't just happen — they take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet. There's no need to work out too much. A healthy routine can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Another benefit of working out properly is that it can cheer up yourself ——lifting weights can lift your spirits.

Don't harm your body, respect it! To help improve your view of your body, take care of it. Treating yourself well over time results in a healthier，stronger body ——and that contributes to a better body image. Practicing good living habits — regular showering ； taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin； wearing clean clothes, etc.——also can help you build a positive body image.

Be yourself. Your body is just one part of who you are — along with your talent for comedy, a quick wit, or all the other things that make you unique. Your talents, skills, and beliefs are just as much a part of you as the cover they come in. So try not to let minor imperfections take over.
