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?

    Given the context, I highly doubt this is the intent. Would love it if it were though.

      ”Hang dead” isn’t really slang, and it means to kill someone by hanging. You might hear it said in a Western. It was likely a threat.
