Yeah...
As a teenager, you would have years of work experience under your belt and you got up on Monday morning knowing you have 100 hours of work to get done that week.

Right idea. It's the 1970s because:
1) Sexual revolution in full effect, and no AIDS yet.
2) Drinking age was 18 in most places, and fake IDs worked for the 15-18 yo set.
3) No cable TV or video games to waste hours and hours, so you spent a lot more time taking advantage of #1 and #2 above.

50s

Would have been the ‘60s with free love and the explosion in musical creativity but Vietnam fricked it up.
The ‘70s post Vietnam were a great time.

‘78-‘88. Lived it, loved it.

80s. You had been a kid in the 70s when parents let their kids play unsupervised, so when you hit your teenage years you knew how to take care of yourself. Plus drinking age was 18 in LA.

Im 1974, color TV was really coming into being the norm. People worked for what hey got and welfare/food stamps was a temporary thing for people that had hit hard times.
Kids played ball, rode bikes, and didn't worry aboot strangers stealing people. The news was not slanted editorials. It was just the news. Times were simple and people had the ability to speak to each other in person.
Nobody ate buttholes, and Tide Pods had not been invented yet. China was a place that made cheap stuff. We could all find it on a map but it was not some economic superpower.
Families played together and went on vacations. The neighbors could tell a kid to stop doing something bad without starting a riot. Fat people were rare, and an oddity.
Cancer was a rare disease.

For being a teenager - the 1980's.

I’d say the 50s. Had worked through the war, things were respectively affordable and majority of families still had mom at home.

I'd say the 1790's. Men were men and not bitches, the founding fathers were running the country, and you could challenge anyone to a dual if you had a beef.
And a simple staph infection could take you out in a week. Modern medicine is a game changer for me as far as when I'd like to live if I could go back in time.

The 60's were as chaotic as today with all the protests going on over Nam and Civil Rights issues.
I'd opt for the 50's, but then again, I'm white, so there's that. Black in the 50's would have sucked.
