    This video actually brought tears to my eyes. The slamming of the lockers, the kids talking and laughing. There were no cell phones back then. Tik Toc was non-existent. I actually miss the good old days.

      People were also much much more stupid, I remember if you wanted to do a project on white rhinos you would have to make a trip to the library, or if you didn't know something you would have to go get an encyclopedia. Nowadays, you can access literally any information you could possibly want, from making a bomb, to what Alzheimer's disease is, to current events, or what soy sauce is made out of. I guess you are right though, why would people do any of that when they can sit on youtube or watch tikky toks.

      I graduated from Grover Cleveland HS in Reseda, CA in 1977. I'm 64. I will echo what others said. Despite some bad things (there are ALWAYS bad things in every era) the good was great. The phone that I am using right now is a marvel. I can play this video and time travel. I can listen to ALL the music from back then. But these phones are also disconnecting kids from each other now. Nothing better than just normal human interactions. Which is what you see from my contemporaries here.

A lot of people will tell you we are being indoctrinated or that we are obsessed with cell phones, but those people just want to stress you out and gain votes for their political BS. The classes are still classes, and we mostly just use our phones to schedule times to hang out in person. But I'll be honest, the 70s seem like a much cooler time.

As a boy growing up in the '60s and '70s who walked to and from school from K -12, dealing with bullies, overcoming my fear, sticking up for myself and others, interacting with all kinds of kids and adults, and in general learning to get myself to and from school, be on my own and responsible for myself, and making good decisions were some of the most valuable life lessons I ever learned.

      Just because we have smartphones today, does not mean the 60s, 70s and 80s did not have electronic items that did not isolate people and stopped them from socializing. TV's, Stereo systems in general, arcades, portable music players, even cars had the same impact as of today, in which a kid would be swallowed by his or her car. Books and magazines and personal computers to some extent in the 80s. I dont get how you lot think or forget about the problems that were present back then aswell? Atleast today we can still connect with people through our electronic devices. Back then it was a one way street.

    I graduated in 1991. I am so glad I was part of the last generation to live in a semi-normal America.
    No cell phones, internet, none of it. We LIVED. We hung out at parties with hundreds of kids. Sometimes
    a fight would happen, but no shootings of gang problems. We lived the same existence as these kids,
    just with slightly different music and clothing. But 70's music was still popular. Aerosmith and Ozzy
    osbourne are proof of that. As big or bigger in my day as they were in the 70's. I miss that. I think
    we thought ourselves so far removed from the 70's but in reality there was only a few years difference.
    I began high school only 9 years after this was filmed.
    I would not want to be a kid in the 21st century.

      Very good but i was a shy nerd but smart..i graduated in 1989 . I agree with you but for me it was a little bit different ..like all people here say there was no cell phones and internet ..but late 80s different from 70s ..fear of aids , soy no to everything like no lovemaking , crack and judgemental talk shows adults judging teenagers lifestyles so id rather played the first nintendo after high school or watch cable tv ,but there was good music at time of my senior year or my first years in college !! for my existence it was skinny puppy ,faith no more, NIN and indie like pixies or primus yess you catch my drift so i was cool , since i was nerdy and shy maybe i prefer today ! now like from nerd or hipster point of view, i like tech ! it motivates you to go to college !! ok now a as a grownup ..internet is for adults not for kids it makes them lazy or watch bad things ..but today for our reality of bieng an adult and with a lot of responsibities, internet makes it exciting like to escape , we nerdy people find today is very exciting .but again not from a kids point of view . So as a kid i would like to be in 70s a good sense when sex drugs and rock and roll ruled ,,disco era !! or todays cause nerdy, lgbtq are not made fun of like the 80s or 90s!! our gen x was like we were on the brakes ..and we were born too late but also too early.. without a "consistent" road for vivid mindset

      True, and yeah, this video made me chuckle. I went to a large suburban high school in the mid '70s, roughly 450 students in each grade level, so we had all types, including a significant numbers of kids who routinely WAY overdressed. It was like a fashion show, mostly girls in their their lovely sun dresses and etc but also some guys with quite a wardrobe. I'm talking dressed like they were going to a disco, or some in business type suits. There was one kid who every day dressed like a businessman going to work in an office, full suit and tie, even carried a briefcase. Unsurprisingly, he was very smart, well organized, and got good grades. I sometimes wonder what happened to him. I'd be surprised if he didn't go far. I was somewhere in the middle. Most days jeans or similar with Cons or the ever popular Earth shoes, but other days a little fancier with pleated front baggies and bumper toed platforms. Good times.

You were more afraid of what would happen to you at home if you got in trouble at school. The pressure to get good grades and your driver's license at 16 was pretty high. No one wanted to ride the bus. We either walked or got rides to school from parents or friends. Those who did ride the bus were picked up at one location, and after school, were dropped off at the same location and walked home. Those were simpler times with different responsibilities. Alway had a job in the summer to save for a car or some other thing needed. We were not rich but we had 3 squares and I had to share my room with my bratty brother 😀. I remember the black and white tv with the rabbit ears.

      I bought my first car in 1974 - a beater, 4-door 1957 Chevrolet "grandma car" for $75 ! I drove that car all through high school until I graduated in 1977 and went in the
      military. My dad sold the car while I was gone - also, for $75. Guys that had cars always had girlfriends ! I even had a couple girlfriends from the cross-town rival
      high school ! that really made those guys jealous ! It was a very sweet time ! I enjoyed high school and made the most of it - even though I was a "hippie" and smoked
      pot - I had some jock friends too - so I got along with just about everyone ! Got in a fist fight one time with a kid over a $2 hit of acid....very dumb.....

    1977 was my freshman year. I just traveled back in time. I even saw a few kids in this video that looked like kids I went to school with, although of course they weren't. By my Junior year, I had a silver 77 Firebird Formula, that looked a lot like the Firebird shown here. The parking lot scenes, the lockers slamming, all the background noise, wow. We had a dress code that was similar to the one this school must have had. No jeans, no goofy T-shirts, just nice, presentable clothing. This video is a national treasure, and I saved it and will watch it again, pausing often. What I wouldn't give to go back to those days for a while (or forever). Had I known how the world would be now, I would have savored every single second back then. I probably would have married my high school girlfriend too! I wonder how many of these kids were leaving school and driving directly to their after school jobs like I did (True Value Hardware). Every kid had a job back then. When you met a new kid, it was normal to ask "where do you work?" almost immediately. We earned our own money, respected adults, and knew how to drive a 4-speed or even a "three on the tree". That's just the way it was back then. Watching this, it's hard to believe how fast 46 years went by. It seems like yesterday to me.

      ✨💎 We were pretty cool 'teenagers in the 80s, you know
      I realize how spaced out kids are on their phones. My god- - 5 teens sitting in the same living room & theyre not even talking out loud, theyre texting the person right in front of them! So it is very different. But don't attribute that to what Im about to say next, 'cause there are parents & children every generation who are "cool," "talkative," "quiet," or just "nerds"
      My children have been out of the nest for years now. When she was about 18, two neighboring kids came over to meet my daughter after school- - a girl & a boy both about 11. I imagined they were brother & sister. I had only met them once before. And Jess wasnt home just yet. When the boy asked me how I was doing, I said "Pretty good I guess- - for a lowdown donkey nobody loves" trying to sound like Eeyore. He responded by introducing himself as "Christopher Robin," but he used a voice that was t o o effeminine. I went dead quiet & the girl standing by him just looked at me as if we mutually understood the problem
      So I said "Whatever you do, dont use that voice around school!" After some casual talking back & forth for a minute, eventually I realized he still didnt get it. I wasnt going to be blunt with "because your classmates will seriously think youre a fruitcake & kick your a**, thats why!"
      I was trying to think of a delicate way to put it, when the girl spoke up: "You know what the problem is, Jim?"
      - No, what?
      - "This is the moment when you realize your grandparents are c o o l e r than you are!"
      - He's not my grandparent, stupid (motioning toward me)
      - " E x a c t l y , " clueless!

      @@KOSMICKEN09 I don’t miss school either but looking back there were many good things about that time period that are gone forever. For example no TSA. It was a time when traveling by plane was very relaxing and enjoyable. Customers we treated with respect not like potential terrorists. Children could still play outside all day without parents hovering over them. Stores and schools didn’t need security cameras and staff. Society was not divided and full of hate and violence. Where I lived most people still had gardens and were raising their own food. Even pets were more free back then. You didn’t see pets put in crates to live. The sky was still filled with fireflies and stars. Divorce was just creeping in so almost everyone I went to school with still had intact families with their biological parents. And it was a time where kids were not being medicated with heavy psychotropic drugs. Those drugs like divorce were just entering into society but hadn’t become a problem to society yet. School was boring but we didn’t have gangs and all the politicized social engineering that kids have today. I never felt unsafe going to school. There is so much more that that time period had to offer that just seems more wholesome and free than what society has to offer young people today.

    My graduation year! At the ceremony speech the phrase “ Today is the first day of the rest of your life” was used. In Ten years my late husband & I purchased a larger home, because we were having a second child. Then we moved again because we had a third boy 😅. Today when I talk with young people, most of them are so negative and depressed. I try to encourage them to give them hope. I don’t remember anyone feeling that way in 1977, because everyone I knew felt like the world was up for grabs. It didn’t matter if we were from poor, middle class or rich families. Watching this short video, I can feel that same enthusiasm and energy in the air. It was the same in my School. It was like we all couldn’t wait to “grab the brass ring”.

He’s worked multiple jobs at the same time.
