Life was different, very different!

The word 'Teenager' was born in the 1950s as kids were repealing from their parents, this was due to infulences like Elvis Presley, Marilyn monroe etc.

Only the rich could afford a television so usually teens where more active, playing a lot of sports staying healthy. Also getting up to mischief which will never change regardless of what year it is.
