bella e scialla

I agree with the definition of "scialla" = relax, stay cool, but I don't really think "bella" has anything to do with "good-looking" here..To me it could be referred to the expression "bella/bella lì", which is both a greeting, something like "what's up" or "yo" and a way to express your appreciation, something like "way to go" or "cool"

I think this is highly dependent of the target audience and should reflect the most common terms used by youth in that area. Anything else in my opinion would seem out of place. For example, bella in that sense for my country would be skux for how teenagers around here speak, but that is going to change for each anglophone country.

Does anyone think that the above would work in this case? After all, the writer is talking about teenagers.

You could say "short and sweet", which of course is nothing to do with the Italian, but makes sense in the context.

Here's scialla, which is something like "stay cool":

But you'll have to make up something completely different in English.
