I'm 73, so it was a long time ago when I was a child / young adult.. I know we didn't have Social Media back then, we weren't getting info 24 hrs a day as is how it is today...
That said, back then neighbours knew each other and in it's way, word got around, everyone knew if anyone had done anything wrong, bad, stupid.. never was there anything, anywhere near as bad and as often as we hear about today...
So what is the reason for it all, why, when kids have so much more than all of us growing up in the 40s, 50s 60s could ever dream of, why ????
