I'm an English teacher and this hurts my brain. It also makes me realize I am SO not ready to go back to school and try to decipher teenager language.
I'm going to go with ESL on OP and not that she's a teenager.
Let's not all look like a bunch of jerks laughing at someone's language. But @thasni, we're not sure what you're asking. Better than what days? And what do you mean by filled with smells?

As someone whose first language isn't English, this doesn't seem to me like a ESL situation but rather poor use of slang/ teenage language. I find that most ESL situations struggle rather with grammar or the 'order' (like where to put the pronouns v. verbs and etc). Someone who is new to English wouldn't normally use slang like "u" or "wot" instead of "you" and "what". But I agree with what you are saying. hey, warning happy bump gods, we aren't making fun of her, we are just trying to figure out what her question is.
@Monkeybutt80 I used to have a Jamaican coworker who writes/speaks similar to this. Not a true ESL, you're right, but a cultural difference. It doesn't look like teenager slang to me, but I guess only OP knows.
FYI: If you make fun of the op too much for grammar and a confusing post you could get reported. I got my first ever warning from a post just like this.....

Of course, I don't really know either; We are all just guessing Maybe she will come back and enlighten us on what she meant.

This was from another response of hers. I'm not sure what it says either. @Thasni care to help translate a little?

This sounds like mocking. It's easy to read he text above.
I don't mean it as mocking. I was merely trying to show a pattern of how she speaks/types to try and give an idea if it was an ESL type thing or slang. My apologies if it came of in a cruel way.
