Several students weighed in on the hardships of life in the 1980s, and the answers are hilarious. They were asked to come up with what they thought would be the toughest part of growing up in that decade. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what the youngsters came up with, which will have you laughing long after the clip ends.

Time is constantly moving, always marching forward. Sadly, no one has come up with a way to reverse or even stop time, despite what many beauty products may promise to do. So, aging is something that we might as well accept because we can’t do anything else about it. Everyone undergoes this natural and unavoidable process. We get older with every passing second, minute, hour and day.

Often, the biggest problem associated with aging is people’s distorted and warped view of time. Parents know this all too well. Children believe and view someone in their 30s, 40s and 50s as ancient. How do we know this? Many will say it on a regular basis.

In a clip posted on social media, a group of 7th graders did precisely this with what they wrote about the problems of living in the 1980s. If you were alive in the 1980s, you will be made to feel rather old due to their laugh-out-loud answers.

The first note shows how one student believes that “dealing with tuberculosis” was likely the biggest and most challenging thing in that era. 

But they only get better from there. 

Another student drew an old school television, while someone else wrote, “having to read books to not be bored.” How awful that must have been! How did someone ever survive under such primitive and backward conditions?

Those are only a sampling of the absolutely hysterical answers from the children who seem to believe the 1980s were more like the 1880s.
