Was it better being a teenager back then without the internet & cellphones

I wouldn't have learned to handle situations as I have.

And that is what we are currently confronted with.

Kids just don't know how to handle things.

We all learn from real life experience, in physical interactions with each other.

For everything that makes us safe, there's the payment of actually not learning.

Ask now, what would happen without any technology?

Pure chaos.

I’d say yes. I grew up on a farm and was kept busy mowing and stuff like that. I was a teen in the late 90s

I'm always cautious about the good ol' days but I think teens have it pretty rough nowadays.

Yes. I had a lot more fun. Plus, I would have been tempted to check on my girlfriend far too often.

Way better

Absolutely!

I think so. We didn't 'know' as much then so had less to worry about

Definitely some aspects were better. One got to live down social missteps. Now they’re memorialized via cellphone and posted on websites, where they exist forever.

Idk I had both of those as a teenager

I actually used dial up and bulletin boards back then. I was an early adapter.

Times were easier

mate, I didn't exist back then.

yeah....we learned common sense the natural way

Personally i think no, serial killers were rampant imagine how many people would still be alive if we could track them.

I would say yes.
