Family & Relationships

O Teens back then could get on with

life and actually keep their first

love for the rest of their lives.
That is why the divorce rates
were so much lower .
O Families were big, strong, and

stayed together, and things were

fairly stable.

Family & Relationships

O Today , you are not supposed to

think about marriage until after

you get a college degree and
have a career lined up, and even
then you'd better not have kids
and take time away from that
precious career .
O That "Freedom" is more like

slavery to education and a

system that expects you to be
part of the workforce.
