I graduated high school in 1975. I think it may seem like simpler times because there was no 24/7 news and we did not sit in front of the TV or the computer all the time. We were out playing with friends, engaging in school activities, or enjoying time with the family. I was an Army Brat and my dad was in Vietnam in 1970. So simpler no, but as children we didn’t have the horrible side of life shoved in our faces constantly (unless of course you lived in the areas where you couldn’t avoid it). I can’t imagine being a child today and seeing all that is going on constantly on the TV. The commercials reflect a desire to be positive and upbeat, which is also lacking today. I always loved the Coke commercial and it’s still brings a smile on my face today.

It’s nice to have grown up in the 70s because things seemed more simple back then.

Some issues were extremely hard, however the time, or the "era" whatever you call it, was by far the best time to be a kid! So many childhood memories, childhood experiences, adventures and dreams. The 70's was a more simple time, but far more fun. Back then kids had respect. Parents actually were parents. I miss those days. People cared about others, they weren't so self absorbed. 1970's were perfection! I was so privileged and LUCKY to have been able to have grown up during that time.

I was going to wait for them to come to me, and if that didn't work within two years, I'm just going to have to accept my status as an eternal bachelor. As you can probably guess, it never did.

JemKeys TV There was no turning ours. My father was that kind who was always like Who touched this? Thermostat was a big NoNo, the paper, the mail, 😆

JemKeys TV That makes me happy to hear that 😊

I still remember my brother and I having to split a Burger King Whopper that my mom cut in half. We didn't have enough money to get one for each of us.

We didn’t have Burger King until I graduated from high school (1980) whoa I’m old, McDonald’s was here first, but Taco Johns was here way ahead of them. Wow what memories

OMG or my parents lying about my age so the buffet would be discounted or free... :) I was 14 and they were still passing me off as 10

So happy to remember some of these! I was in high school during most of these and times were quieter and simpler and life was much fuller. It was a great time to grow up.

Or even us children of the early 80s, it’s comfort food as well! I wish we could go back in simpler times when playing outside was the norm instead of glued to social media all day etc

80s would become the crap decade. Yeah it had some good music and films but that's it. The 80s where almost everything is made some place else.

I turned 10 in 1980, don’t remember a whole lot about the 70s except Jerry Ford, and Jimmy Carter being the first presidents I remember
