If you want to keep up with your kids I'd suggest that
you just stick with them to learn it. Although things like
LOL are written form only ;) You're still allowed to laugh.
Most things are either just substitutes for emotions you can't
really express in written form or shortcuts for otherwise
painfully long but trivial stuff. You don't really need to know
more than a handful. It's easiest learned if you just do it
and if you stumble upon one you don't know just ask.
However. Some people (partly including me) are easily
annoyed by that stuff. People forget how to write proper
English. I'm not a native speaker/writer and I happen to
come across native speakers where I have to explain
them how it's written properly. That's pretty disturbing.
Shortcuts are fine where they are adequate. But using
u instead of you isn't too much of a typing relief and also
some of them can easily be mixed up for other things.
B/C for example.
The link is quite extensive. But honestly. You don't really
need to know a fraction of that.
