It was better. You had to learn self reliance. You had to learn responsibility. You had to learn social skills and how to deal with people. Because you were out roaming around without any supervision doing pretty much whatever you like as long as you don't get caught. It's probably why an 18 year old in the 80's was a lot closer to being an adult than one now.

Nailed it. Most kids today are socially awkward to the point of being hard to talk to. We hire high school and college kids every year for our retail business. We burn through about 50% trying to find the ones that can lay their phones down for a couple of hours to work and speak to customers.
