Current sociocultural and technological transformations have profoundly altered the ways young people communicate, giving rise to new modes of written production that challenge the boundaries of traditional academic writing. This study addresses the need to recognize and analyze youth discursive practices as part of contemporary school culture. The objective was to describe the new forms of written expression emerging in educational settings influenced by digital culture. A qualitative study with an ethnographic approach was conducted, based on the observation of forums, blogs, and school productions from 80 high school students in urban institutions. Thematic analysis revealed the presence of hybrid discourses combining linguistic, visual, and symbolic resources characteristic of youth culture, such as memes, emoticons, and transmedia narratives. The results show a more expressive, participatory, and multimodal writing style that strengthens youth identity and agency within the educational space. It is concluded that incorporating these practices into language teaching fosters a critical and contextualized literacy capable of linking the school to students’ real communicative contexts.
