When the school bell rang at 3:15 we all stormed out like ants and either walked, road bikes or took buses home. No one had their mommy waiting in a car for them.

We invented sophisticated alarm systems to keep uninvited guests off our property.

We also invented the car seats and booster seats, along with the laws that forces every one else to make use of them.

Yes we are the best risk-takers ever in history, but when it comes down to risking our own children walk home from school along side with some friends, we don't wanna take any chances.

Yup, we sure did. I remember all our mini bikes, go-carts, my brother and sister made.

I'm right in there and this is written as if it was written about me.
So true, I'm sure most of us can relate.

I think I'm pretty lucky to grow up when I did. I grew up with great music. Kids today are robbed of that. We all did drugs in high school, and I don't know of one friend who over dosed or died in high school. I had two friends, one in middle school and one in high school, who died in car accidents, but nothing to do with drugs.

Everything in that post was exactly me. I made go carts. I made unstable tree forts as high as I could go up a tree. I would hate to have grown up now. The only thing that makes me want to be younger is seeing how far we have come in exploring the cosmos. I would love to see what we learn 100 years after I'm gone, shit longer if I could. :disgust haha

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while
they were pregnant. (or Dad's lol)

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and
didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby
cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and
when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks
we took hitchhiking.

As infants &children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster
seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a speci al treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and? NOONE
actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made
with sugar, but we weren't overweight because,
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we
were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And? we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride
down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes.

After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at
all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no
surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computer! ,no
Internet or chat rooms.......
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live
in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with
sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we
did not poke out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or
rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who
didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard
of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem
solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

If YOU are one of them CONGRATULATIONS!

yup, pretty much all true. Back then, the kid whose mom made him wear a helmet to ride his bike was made fun of by all the other kids mercilessly. Only retards wore helmets. lol

There were normal kids, then there were helmet kids. In the 70's you did not want to be a helmet kid.
