Deciphering teen slang is an ongoing struggle many parents have. Some words are frivolous and fun like "rizz," but others like “menty b,” may warrant further attention. “Menty b” is a slang term signifying a “mental breakdown,” according to Know Your Meme, a website defining memes and other viral content. It’s often used to describe an overwhelming feeling or when someone is experiencing stress over something.

The video was posted by the girl's Mom (@khalesei_holt) on TikTok showed a conversation between the pair and garnered close to 10m views and 1.4m likes. The 12-year-old was wearing a t-shirt and yoga pants but was reportedly sent home by the principal of Ford Middle School in Tacoma. The video sparked a fierce debate online, with many saying dress codes are sexist while some argued that the principal was right to send the girl home if she violated the dress code as told to students in the rule book.
