I am interested to know what life was like from the words of people who were still children then or they were from 16-30 years old.

    i grew up in a rural area in the 80s and 90s and it sucked balls.

    we had to drive 30m+ each way to do anything like shopping or going out. all anyone did was watch TV and we took a trip into the city like 1-2 times a year, as it was a 2hr+ drive each way.

    it was really really boring and i ended up doing drugs and drinking because it was the only way to cope with how insanely boring and awful my community was.

    thankfully once I got to college it was a lot more fun, because I was around smart and interesting people for the first time in my entire life.
