A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN AVERAGE 80s KID! (FREEDOM OR PRISON

What did an ordinary Tuesday actually look like for a ten-year-old in 1986? No phones, no apps, no tracking — just bikes, Nintendo, and hours of completely unsupervised freedom. From Saturday-morning-style cartoons on a school day, to the brand new NES taking over every kid's living room, to a secret game of Dungeons & Dragons that some parents were convinced was summoning the devil — this is what childhood really looked like before any of it was digital. This is part of an ongoing series following one generation through time. Missed the last one? Check out what this same kid's life looked like eight years later, as a teenager in 1994. No nostalgia filter. Just the real thing. 🎬 More decades coming soon — subscribe so you don't miss them.
