High School in the early 2000s 😳  

we were🥲

Less social media stress and cyber bullying.

We were

it's just an illusion, it wasn't all rainbows and sunshine then either. cameras still hadn't fully combined with phones so ofc everyone is gonna smile and wave when someone walks around with a camcorder telling them to smile or say something. modern day definitely has a problem with kids chronically online social media but kids were unhappy in the 2000s too. if you were a loser or outcast you really didn't have any group like today where you can find like minded people instantly online.

Yeah, they are smiling... but how many gender studies and crtical race theories classes they have?

@@JYOTIMANHAS81 no, he is not, it's just that every girl and boy is smiling and waving at him.

​@@Farid_EditsRight? People weren't like how they are then. Everyone smiled and having a great time just being there. No harlot wearing out fits no dudes being vulgar and mean. This truly is a time that we will never have again. I'm so glad I grew up during this and not the world now. Evil doesn't even hide anymore it's welcomed out into the open and even defended. End days we living in. Everyone choosing in their hearts who they will serve. We waiting on that last one and we out of here. Jesus is coming. What a time to be alive 💖 Praise Jesus 💖

Fr but truly try to enjoy your childhood. dont waste it though, too hard to get back time wasted.

What the other guy said. Dude, go enjoy your youth now; there's plenty of time to look back on it when you're our age. Slay dragons, sleep with women (responsibly, or with men), carve out your own story, and then, when you are grey like us, you can look back and smile. Go live, champion.

I don't know if it's just my school, but we're really social here and people only sometimes text during class so we can talk to each other without being caught. Back in middle school, we used to pass around post-it notes with messages

It’s kind of a balanced curve. People on the upper end socialize less because of a higher priority of how you are presented to the entire world rather than to just those around you. But people on the lower end socialize more as their options for friends are not limited by those who are around them. Now it’s not the most healthy to only have online friends but it’s better than having no one at all.

None of our phones had video cameras then (if we even had a phone at all). So being filmed was kind of exciting. Now I avoid being filmed at all costs lol.

Phones should’ve stayed for phone calling and photos

They weren't. Ask your parents how school was. They all hated it

Nah way they’re necessarily happier than kids today. Filming and photos then were not like everyday smartphones today. Cameras brought out smiles because you smiled when someone was filming you, and it wasn’t everyday or even so often.

Also: I remember 2019 as pretty much the best year I've had. I had a big friend group and we met up like every day. It was amazing.. Exept I have a journal where I expressed how much I feared they all hate me. How much I hate myself. My eating disorder and body issues where at their worst point. Yet looking back without reading my journal it seems like the best time of my life. I wasn't there in 2000, but I'm sure it wasn't all rainbows and sunshine either. As long as you provide a safe/healthy home EVERY childhood will seem like the best one.

You see the wasted years, the missed opportunities, the paths you took and where they have lead and all those possible paths narrow onto the one your on and there are not too many forks in the road left for a diversion.

Maybe you don't want to live through the age of social media, but you would then have to experience WWII, the Cold War, and the great depression. Personally, if I ever think, "Man, the world really sucks now," I just remind myself that it has never been better.
