My high school years were ‘71-‘75 and the guys had the option to take Batchelor Survival - the ‘equivalent’ to home ec for the girls. Lots of guys took that class and learned how to do housework chores among other things. I have no idea if schools are still offering this for the boys but it’s invaluable!

1980's Considering I was born in 1981 it's not totally wrong.

Graduated in 90's but LOVED teen movies when I was a kid. I'm a huge brat pack fan so almost knew what characters these questions were pointing me to. Curious if answers slightly change to get a different decade

I was meant to grow up in the 1980s. Which is interesting, because I was born in 1980!

I was actually a decade earlier than this quiz says I should have been. Oh well.
And since when was P.E. a bummer? I took it every year in high school cuz it was FUN!

Like gymnastics without the equipment, e.g. balance beam, rings, bars etc? We did something similar one semester and used the wrestlers mats…until they came into the gym and chased us out lol.

This said I was meant to grow up in the 70's, which actually is when I grew up. Graduated in 1979. However, I absolutely hated school, and to this day I still think school was the worst experience of my life... and that's AFTER serving in the Army, doing 30 days jail time for driving while under suspension, and being divorced - twice! School was the worst. My 45th class reunion is in November, and although I've never attended a reunion before, I'm kinda-sorta giving this a thought... just to see how many people have either gone bald, gotten fat, (or both!) or kicked the bucket, so I can poke fun at them.

Yes indeed high school days in the 1970s. I remember the fire drills at our high school. Some of those fire drills while we were all lines up outside, we would see several police cars and German Shepherds. Yep!

The 1970s. I wasn't a teenager in the 1970's. I was a little girl. I was born in 1970.

You got it right on the nose! The 70's! Those were indeed my "wonder years!" (I graduated from high school in June 1980.)
