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. almost everyone was virulently racist, sexist, and anti-education and it was highly conservative apart from a few hippie dippy teachers who didn’t live there.
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.
