How does slang affect a person?

Slang is a non-honorific form of language. If you talk to a person using slang you are being intimate with them. If the person values your intimacy, they will be honoured by this. If they distrust it, they will be offended. (Usually it is safe to use slang with social inferiors, but not with social superiors). Slang in English has much the same function as the 'tu' form in French:- it offers a level of intimacy which may be seen as either inviting or aggressive, depending on the context. A person who doesn't know that they are using slang (someone with poor literacy who hasn't traveled much, for example) is likely not to realise when they are making such gestures of linguistic intimacy. Ignorance is full of pitfalls.

What is the purpose of teenage slang?

Teen slang accomplishes several things . . . 1. Slang sets you apart and makes you feel like you 'belong' to the group. This is extremely important, socially. 2. Slang helps you feel separate from all those old folks: your parents. This is part of the process of slowly leaving your parents' protection and becoming a responsible adult. 3. For some teens, slang lets them talk dirty around their parents without them knowing it. This is also part of slowly becoming separate from your parents. It's all way bad, dude.
