The present research aims to explore and know the vocabulary used by adolescents in the school environment. The discussion was based on studies on sociolinguistics, variations and slang itself. The research is of a bibliographic nature, with a qualitative and exploratory approach, in order to propose a theoretical-methodological analysis based on the studies carried out during this research, about the use of slang in the school environment. In this way, a public school was chosen to carry out the research, in order to collect the slang spoken by the students and thus make a data collection to know what they are and their respective meanings for a better perception and understanding of their context of speech and use. The results obtained in this research were nothing more than a better perception of the teenagers' vocabulary, which is very rich and they are used in various contexts, in different ways, expressions that are loaded with multiple meanings, taking into account their speakers and the situational context.
