@@WallychansAs a mixed person, I can't agree so much. I honestly hate how ghetto black culture has affected society. I'm not trying to be racist either. I am half black anyways.
The thing I remember most is how, because we didn’t record anything, all events and altercations were described by the people who witnessed them. It made it so much fun to tell/hear a story.
Same with sharing exciting news. It was fun to wait all day to tell your friends about something exciting that happened & they would jump up & down, scream & be excited with you. Now days people post good news on social media & all you get in response are ❤ & 👍🏽 It’s not the same.
I was in high school from 2000-2004. I miss it so much. My father always told me that I would miss school some day. I though he was completely nuts. Boy, was he right. It was such a great time. Barely anyone had a cell phone. Facebook wasn’t popular yet. It was a simpler time. 😢
As a JHS and HS teacher for 16 years, I can attest to how much damage social media has done to how socialized kids are today. The stuff that’s discussed is way over their heads, but they act like they understand the whole world and it’s all about them. Generation narcissism will be the younger Gen Zs and the upcoming Gen Alphas (born 2010-2020). I’m already getting the Alphas in 7th grade and the COVID lockdowns have academically set them way back (1/2 of my classes were reading below 5th grade levels), but socially emotionally they are just as messed up from social media.
@@mallu099 I used to be too, it got to the point where my posture was so bad I couldn’t sit straight no matter how hard I tried, and it ruined my eyesight. But I’m slowly getting better. I asked my parents to set a créent time of 1 hour and set a password that I wouldn’t be able to guess. Then, slowly change the time of how much you use it per day. Start at 3 hours, then go to 2, then 1, etc. If it’s because of UA-cam shorts or TikTok where you’re just scrolling then set a timer on you phone for 10 minutes and as soon as it rings don’t watch another short, don’t finish the short you’re watching, leave your device in another room and leave. That’s how I got better.
People were still cruel to each other and heavily depressed back then too. And the people in this video are adults now who also have to live through social media and this miserable world. We grew up in a different world to the one we live in now, and many of us feel completely lost.
@@jarrodsmith4019I'm 19 and I already remember the lower grades like that. She might not experience the same, but nostalgia will always make the past look great. The big change from computers to the phones of today happened in my youth and it really didn't change much. Sure the memories are different but they're still great. 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.
@@jsas2047 i think youth does have a part to play in all of it. The world hasn’t yet set its weight upon your shoulders and life is still free and open to you. The possibilities are endless.

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.

Nah, dude. Social circles in highschool are pretty much the same. If you don't have many friends now, don't think it would be much different 20 years ago.
I started HS in 2004, I remember our "free time" in class was to turn around and talk to the person behind you, or next to you. We made fun of dumb stuff and would sit there and just be silly without the need of a phone. ❤
People need to stop with this nonsense. I was in high in the early 2000s. It was cool, but so is today. The future is what you make of it, start living life to the fullest, make 2024 the best time to be alive
Back then, phones were just used for calling (yes, we actually called each other back then) and texting (and the occasional snake game). We had a healthy relationship with technology back then. We did other stuff, and going on the Internet was mostly for the evening. There was balance, and we actually felt alive. Good times. 🥲

When text messaging was passing a note in class, when emojis were people actually making a funny face at you, and contact numbers you remembered by heart.
When you had to be quick witted. To come back with a burn. And having an ever increasing vocabulary was a survival technique. When parents literally locked us out the house for hours. And a garden hose was your only source of water. Boy howdy I miss those days. My lexicon would be pathetic if I grew up now days.

Im class of 04. I wont lie. This has me shedding a tear. After 19.5 years of taking everything life had to throw at me, it makes you look at this clip differently.
The reason they all look happier could also be the fact that ppl recording was way less common back then, so when it happened everyone probably wants to be on the camera smiling n stuff

Something to note is that because cameras weren’t readily available on every single phone, someone holding a video recorder had more of an exclusive feeling to it and people were just happy to feel like a part of them was being saved digitally

Malls were never enjoyable even when I was younger. Friends and I went and played sports. The fact you select only malls in my statement shows your ignorance and bias.

I was in high school from 2000-2004. I miss it so much. My father always told me that I would miss school some day. I though he was completely nuts. Boy, was he right. It was such a great time. Barely anyone had a cell phone. Facebook wasn’t popular yet. It was a simpler time. 😢
It was a great time to be alive. Social media ruined an entire generation.
As a JHS and HS teacher for 16 years, I can attest to how much damage social media has done to how socialized kids are today. The stuff that’s discussed is way over their heads, but they act like they understand the whole world and it’s all about them. Generation narcissism will be the younger Gen Zs and the upcoming Gen Alphas (born 2010-2020). I’m already getting the Alphas in 7th grade and the COVID lockdowns have academically set them way back (1/2 of my classes were reading below 5th grade levels), but socially emotionally they are just as messed up from social media.

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.

I can drive down the road right now and see hundreds of people at sporting events at the junior high up the road. You point to malls like they are the only hang out. Malls were never enjoyable even when I was younger. Friends and I went and played sports. The fact you select only malls in my statement shows your ignorance and bias. Also side note, malls here are still alive and well. In fact my kids have the ability to meet up with kids even easier with technology than I did. If I missed a phone call when I was younger I would miss at hoc events but now everyone is reachable.
@@boomson3082 I'm from a smaller island. Our mall is long gone. Our skatepark is also gone. They built hotels on our favorite surf spots and it's now packed with people. So no, it's not the same as it used to be.
I graduated high school in the year 2000. It truly was a different time. It doesn’t seem that long ago, but society is so different today. Nobody seems happy about anything anymore. It’s very depressing.
10-4. Class of 2000. Dairy farming/truck driver my whole life. Such a sad place now
have you ever been to a high school in 2023?
@@mohawk4759 yea it sucks
@mohawk4759 my little sister is 15 and about to start 10th grade. Everyone here is right. It's not the same anymore.

@@BeautyAndHealth101 My advice is to find like minded people. There are many of us who don't use social media outside of things like youtube.
Same I graduated 06
@@renaldoawes2210 agreed. I watch youtube and i have a facebook account, but thats it, no other socials, dont use dating sites, technology expansion and AI are going to be the downfall of us. Man i missed being a kid in the late 90s early 2000s......Y2K, being in class when one of the saddest days in us history happened. I just miss those good ol days!
😂😂😂I was born that year
Suddenly felt nostalgic and sad at the same time..😥
Very, very much same.. class of '02 here. I miss these days.. when phones/cameras weren't on you and in your face 24/7
I actually shed a few tears 😅
True 😢
Yes these days are over...but let there be a New Hope on the horizon one day. Boycotts and revolutionary Renaissance era os needed. Spiritual, psychological, chemical warfare. Our culture and politics is failing miserably. I pray for better days. Let the new gen bring it back. Let the elders and soon to be elders guide them.
When u had to go knock on doors and answer the phone not knowing if it was someone u wanted to talk to or not.. or maybe avoiding.. so u get ur mom or sister to answer it first😅😅
Bruh we got kids at our schools smoking vapes like it’s the last time they’re gonna see it … this looks so fun
