70¢ at McDonald's and tin golden ashtrays. You walked and your eyes started burning from the smoke. I miss that
FINALLY getting back to some of the videos i'd saved to watch…
Born in the 70s, raised in the 80's/90's
This list is pretty spot on.
one caveat… some parents would rather have the teens party in their presence, than wonder where they were at.
It was scary how much alcohol and drugs I consumed with my friends parents in the room… he'll I once played alcohol checkers against a friends dad when i was 15, using whiskey… when you got jumped, you drank.
But we were SO independent as kids… we were basically feral… left in the morning, came home when the street lights came on…. i wold routinely ride my bike 20 miles to certain surf spots (grew up in so cal) with my parents having ZERO idea where i was
I was born in the 80’s and we definitely followed the street light rule. My dad also had an impressive wolf whistle that we would hear for blocks around if he needed us to come home quick. Lol❤❤
my step-mom signed the permission slip,along with my dad, signed the slip to hit me with
; either, a ruler or a yard stick. I survived that and so many other abuses! sooooooo……..children now a days are soft!!!!!!
I was 4 and my dad left me in the truck on a Sunday morning while he went into the bank to talk to his buddy that was the bank president. I got tired of waiting and climbed out and went up and banged on the LOCKED bank door until they came and let me in. Dad had got to talking and lost track of time.
I never got smacked in school but my husband did
Everything said in this video is true. Child of the 70s I am.
people smoked in the grocery store
We used to love going to the grocery store. My parents and my uncles would leave us in the car, with the windows down,for an hour or so.. me and my cousins had a ball and yes they usually had in Chicago a Dean that dealt out the paddle… And it could be sometimes in front of your parents.. who were very much with it..😂😂😂😂😂…PS. we still have smoking vending machines in Vegas….
Tom just dropped. It’s a banger
My friends and I were buying cigarettes for ourselves at the age of 12… we never even needed a note or anything..back then all I needed was $ 1.50 to get a pack of cigarettes and an iced tea, they used to have the reminder on tv…for our parents… that said it's 10 PM, Do You Know Where Your Children Are? because most of the time we were still outside, and yeah god in my elementary school the paddle was in the principals office, and many got it including myself, and even junior high…I had my hair pulled by a teacher and I was slammed up against the blackboard by another one, and dragged into the office when i got caught smoking on school grounds, even though we had a bus driver that allowed us to smoke in the back of the bus…oh those were the days…lol
My teachers beat my ass, pulled my ears, smashed my knuckles etc. all through the 70s y 80s
You didn't need a note to buy cigarettes….from the late '70s through the early 80's, I bought my own cigarettes, starting at the age of 12. I must confess, I miss this period. People were just "free-er" (not a word). People (including kids) were expected to adapt and cope. People were not nearly so easily offended, and if they were, you had to suck it up and not behave like a whiny bitch (bitch, in this context, applies to males and females).
When I was in college getting my teaching degree, we had a seminar on how to do corporal punishment.
We are a tough generation for sure. Our immune systems are the bomb as well 😂
Riding bikes yeah no.pads or helmets and doing all kinds of crazy stuff made us tough
We had no seatbelts and got tossed around and loved it lol So much fun 😂
You are a great genztlher Jay 😂❤
Gen Xer here. Born in 1969. Please, if you have any genx questions…type away!!!
😂😂Its been awhile back, but I think even my Junior high principal had a paddle in his office – MAYBE my high school principal, my freshman year…
I KNOW they had them in Elementary school 😅
After like, 90-91…that slowly started fading out of schools
The guys at my high school also had gun racks in their pick up trucks …in the school parking lot(usually w hunting rifles on display) and we never had a school shooting
❤We also had an option for a "Bible" club and prayer around the pole in the morning as a sports team
The announcer prayed before our football games on friday night in high school ❤
You had 5 minutes max after the streetlights came on to get home or you got your arse whooped.
I remember being 5 and 6 being left in the car while my parents shopped for hours. Chillin w my younger brother
💙💙💙I was a teen in the eighties and the UK was similar to the USA in certain aspects but not all. Early 80's drivers were required to wear seat belts in the UK. Corporal punishment was socially acceptable from every person in authority. We did not have the paddle in most schools it was either tongued strap or cane. Strap across hands and fingers. Cane across hands or backside. Hanging out in groups anywhere we could and getting moved along by police. Children bellow a certain age alone at home was illegal back then and social services were there as soon as some nosey neighbour let them know. Back then parents could have their children taken in to care if left alone under 16 years old. Still the best decade for music though and anarchy was the call.💙💙💙 Still can't oblige with a green heart Jay..
I had a mad, fun time in the 80's! 😉❤ And all without social media & the internet – but that's probs another discussion…
I was a kid in the 70s and a teen in the 80s. In my schools in New England and the Midwest, spanking had already been banned.
The one about the seatbelts was true in 1980 but no longer true by 1989. General carelessness was definitely true in the 70s. The 80s is when safety got a foothold. Laws were passed (eg, raising drinking age to 21 nationally). By the 90s, the pussification of American was chugging away at a quick pace.
My high school had a smoking area. I think it came down to this: Admins don't want to spend their days trying to stop teens from smoking in the bathrooms. Better to give them a place outside.
Hanging out in malls WAS boring, so we were bored together. (Remember, no cell phones, let alone face calls. If you wanted to be social, you had to leave the house.) At least in the mall there was food, a video arcade, a movie theater, Spencer's, and HVAC. And a store that sold pianos and organs, if you can believe it!
As the decades pass, things become more professional. That's how I think of it. More safety. More regulations. Less fun, less loosey goosey.
All the adults I knew smoked. I started smoking when I was 14. We would just steal some cigarettes from our parents and then hang out in our club house and smoke. I do remember being at restaurants when I was a kid and my Mom or Grandpa would send me with some money to the machine to buy them some cigarettes. I would always come back to the table walking through the restaurant with the carton of cigarettes rolled up in my sleeve like I was a stud or something.
I started driving when I was 11 because my Grandpa needed me to drive him to his favorite bar since he couldn't see well at night. I would sit on his lap and drive so that if a policeman was nearby, I could duck and it would look like my Grandpa was driving. I would drive him there and wait in the truck with my dog and the radio until he was ready to go home. Sometimes I would do my homework in the truck while waiting. I liked doing it. I got to know all his buddies at the bar and my Grandpa was fun to be around. Of course, I could never tell my Mom or Grandma that I was driving him to the bar. My Mom didn't know until about 10 years ago.
I got hit with the ruler a few times. The worst part was if you got paddled by a teacher or a principal, you already knew that you were in big trouble and your parents were going to paddle you again for disobeying or disrespecting the teacher. That was totally not allowed under any circumstance. Nothing you could say was going to save you.
I used the "cigarette note" for my parents as young as 8 or 9 yrs old! No child seats or seatbelts were used or bike helmets! I also sttod up in the car roaming from the front seat to the back and sat on the driver's lap pretending to drive!Also had to be home when the street lights came on! We were out "playing" for 8 to 12 hrs and our parents had no idea where we were! We were left in the car all the time as our parents went into stores and left home alone atone young ages! I don't remeber teachers hitting us but we surely didn't want our parents to receive a call from the school saying we misbehaved, you were in big troubble for that! The Malls would have teen inspired entertainment to draw them into the mall on Friday night and the weekends! we watched any movie we wanted from horror to severe violemce to sexual content! All of it was a learning process that prepared you for the real world that you would face when you left home! And yet we survived! The kids today are too coddled and are not prepared for the real world that they will face when they leave home! I loved the ad of the frying eggs, the fresh cracked egg was your bbain and the fried egg was your brain on drugs! LOL Thanks for the trip down memory lane!!
Yep! I got paddled at school several times in my life. I graduated in 1989 & it was definitely still a thing.

My high school had a smoking section! You just needed a note from a parent & you could smoke during breaks or at lunch.
