Can you translate text speak from the 2000's?

We were clearing out some old paperwork at HQ, and found this amazing text speak translation sheet for staff and volunteers from over a decade ago. The Mix didn't exist at this point; Get Connected and YouthNet were still separate charities.

There's a column with translations that I've blanked out - see how many you can guess. ;)


All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.

    How do I know so much teenage slang? I managed to work all of them out without Google. Honest!
