Despite English being my native language, I grew up speaking Spanish and my English isn’t that good. I constantly forget the meanings of phrases or don’t understand them.

I have a sister named Lena (14F). Her on-again, off-again “friend” Ashlyn(14F) received a note on her locker reading “HANG DEAD” and showed people, including Lena. Is this a threat to hang herself or something?

    Never heard of that phrase. It’s not in common usage. Who knows what it meant?

        I’d say that’s just as likely they do. A lot of “native” English speakers really only speak 0.5 languages.
