Re: "So"

So, when I was in high school, my speech teacher taught us that many people, especially teenagers, had a tendency to say "like" in the middle of sentences as an unconscious attempt to fill an awkward void.

She encouraged us to use the words "now" or "so" instead, as a way to make us more aware of when we felt the need to do this.

I use "so" way too much.
Because language.
