Life For a Teen 50 Years Ago Comparing life today of a teen with the life of a teen 50 years ago. I think it was harder 50 years ago for teens. I think that because they didn’t have many electronic to help them. For example they didn’t have Siri to help them with their questions. Back then it was more safer because most children grew up with two parents so they had a tight leash on them. Those are only some of the reason why they had it hard back then. They had no calculators to graph or play games on so they had to draw everything out. They had less crime because the parents would give them a schedule to come home before sun down. Also they had more respect for everyone and was nice to everyone. Back then most teen usually help their parents with chores or help in other ways. Girls would help her mother in the kitchen and the boys would help the father with yard work. The girls would wash the dishes by hand because they didn’t have dish washers before. The boys would have to mow the lawn with a hand push lawn mower. The majority of teens now days they’re getting lazier, not as active, and most don’t want to help out as much as they should or maybe don’t help their family out at all. Most teens now days have more freedom then teens did fifty years ago. Back then they stayed home and helped get everything done before they could have their freedom. Also to help them stay out of trouble. But now most teens just do what they want without taking on responsibility. We should get things done first and then be able to have fun. They are missing so many things and the still completed their life with no problem. So after all the explanations the teen today are lazy and the teens back then worked more harder. Comparing life today of a teen with the life of a teen 50 years ago I would chose that it was harder for teens 50 years
