    What is the best piece of advice you have for teens
    about dating, having fun, and getting through those first twenty years?....




     

    Summertime in the 80's

    Just like all kids throughout the decades summertime was meant for fun. Hanging out by the pool with friends, cruising town, and of course we were all looking for that right gal or guy to date....
     
    Those were definitely the days when the most technology most of us even knew about was playing War or Pac Man on an Atari. When we wanted to talk to friends we used a corded, not a cordless phone and we didn't have cell phones. If we wanted to talk to friends we actually talked or made plans face-to-face.



    Advice for Teens: Get outside and spend time with friends goofing off and hanging out. Don't spend all of your spare time watching TV, playing video games, or texting and playing on the internet. Get out and make fun memories that will last a lifetime, many with great stories that you may (or may not) want to share with your own kids someday.



    What's your favorite summertime memory while growing up as a teen in the 80's?....

    The 80's Generation

    Growing up in the 80's was a fun time. Just like teenagers before and after us, we had our own unique generational style. We loved our big hair, parachute pants, and our MTV. We lived for Friday nights and cruising town, just being teenagers on the verge of freedom.

    Well now that we are all middle aged adults we can look back at our lives in the 80's and realize that while some things may change, others will always remain the same. Although we cannot go back in time and change some of the choices we made as kids, we can share some of the experiences we have had about hard learned life lessons.
     
    Now, for a look back in time at all the things that made the 80's unique: the hair, the clothes, the music, the movies, and the people....80's Style.
