The better life in my opinion. I wish life was the way it was back in the 50s, things were so much easier...yes things are more convienent, but there was such things as parents who cared what their child was doing...there was not much drugs involved in the teen life, yes there was good and bad in every crowd but you get that anywhere. There was not as much pollution as there was back then, Teenagers cruised around in their hot rods for fun insted of popping e and going to jail. There is so much complications with todays youth, there is much more violence, more drugs, things have just gone down hill. Back then if you were to back talk your parents you would be punished harshly, not like today where most parents just give their child a slap on the wrist, and let them get away with murder. Some people may think I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about but some of you do, and for those who think I have no idea what I'm saying...why don't you take some time and think about whats going on today, think about war, think about shit like the colombine inccident, think about the drugs and the shit that teens are getting into, I don't want to sound like a hypocrite, cuz yeah I drink I drink alot and I know I should'nt but I drink responsibly. I'm not trying to preach I'm just trying to state my opinions...
