NO, lol
90s teens were still educated (mostly) according to the "puritanism/Penthouse magazine in the bathroom" of the Reagan years...
00's-10's teens are watching porn as soon as they are 11 years old (unless the parents use the internet lock), and they lose their virginity around 15-17 years old... | |

Brother... no there were folks who defied rules back then in the '80s and '90s. I ain't buying that bullshit. | |

There were pregnant girls in my high school in the 70s. Hell, one of my friends had an abortion our junior year. This ain't new.
And it had nothing to do with Reagan - so I don't know why anyone would drag him into it. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

It's more common to go to prom alone/with a group of friends than with a date, at least it was at my prom (2006)
that way you won't have to be stuck to one person the whole night and can do whatever you want "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

Yeah I basically hung out with my cousin when I went to the prom. We didn't have dates, we just chilled. We didn't stay there too long. We left like three hours after we got there and went elsewhere. | |

Honey, I was a child in the 1970s and was sneaking and finding weak Playboy and Penthouse magazines in my uncle's room when I was as young as five years old and on the rare occassion that a dick was in the magazine, I'd get a raging erection. I also used to find a stash of harder stuff like Hustler in a ditch where some man must have hidden them from his wife and also in a dumpster in the back of a convenience store. Honey, I was in that dumpster so much you would have thought I was homeless.
I also slept with a girl in 1982 when I was 14. Hey, that's just what you were "supposed to do" at the time and if everyone else my age wasn't doing it, I wouldn't have either because it sure as hell wasn't what I wanted. The 1970s and 1980s brought up some straight up whores! I didn't get as nasty as I am growing up in a Leave It To Beaver era. Andy is a four letter word. | |

At least they weren't powder blue. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Oh, we used to have a ball at those school dances! If we didn't have clothes between us covering our private parts from touching, we would have actually been fucking because the privates were definately touching through the clothes. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Pregnant girls in my junior high school as well, in the 70's. Reagan had a powerful Reaganomic influence on society in the 80's, I guess | |

I didn't go to my prom, but my daughter is going to her junior prom this month with a date | |

Powder blue is a pastel, love. And there were tons of those. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Please. Reaganomics didn't do shit. [i.e., Prince, Rick James]. | |

It depends on who you ask, just like the Bush years | |

He got lots of criticism too. | |

Sure, the Iran-contra scandal being the most critical, but when he left, they were singing his praises. Bush, not at all. 911 and the war in Afghanistan will haunt him and his administration for life. | |

Anyways, nothing changed. yeah people are probably more open but that's because we got the internet but shit was graphic then too.
I don't know why people think shit was innocent. But I guess if you're young and saw life through rose colored glasses, you probably think that. I didn't. | |

This is why I said it depends on who you ask. Personally, I liked Clinton, despite his faults | |
