I am a 'Boomer'. We are NOT the toughest generation. It was our parents; BY FAR !
-
True, our parents didn't coddle us neither did society.

The Greatest Generation were the toughest Generation grew up during the Great Depression and fought in War World 2.

The Boomers were raised by the greatest generation and we became tough because of them

67 year old here. My parents were even tougher than I am.

Our parents were the tough ones. They taught us about WWII and how to survive.

“Come in when the street lamps turn on.” Does anyone here remember that?

Wow! As a boomer myself, it's rather refreshing to see a video that doesn't blame my generation for all the evils in the country and the world!
-
We were taught by the greatest generation, our parents

We did NOT have " safe spaces" we faced what we needed to on our own and STILL DO!!!

Rules when you get home 1. Don't burn the house 2. Don't draw blood 3. Don't let anyone in 4.Don't call me at work. We were tough and smart enough to take care of things by ourselves. I had wonderful parents who taught me so many things about life and how to be happy and good to others, and how to appreciate the things we had. I'm 66 years old and I have no regrets growing up when I did.

I was even bullied by some of my teachers. We had the best music. When I first started work, there weren't any personal computers. By the end of my last job, I was a computer expert. We reused and recycled more than today's people.

We didn't whine about being "victims". Made the best of the circumstances and doubled down to improve the situation. There were always a few spoiled brats who would drop out by taking drugs in order to escape adversity. The rest of us tried to do what was right no matter how hard it may have been out of respect for our parents and grandparents.

Boomer here. We walked and rode bikes all over our city, learned to budget the 25 cents we each got to shop in our city on Saturdays, and took the bus to downtown Cincinnati by ourselves. Nowadays parents could get in trouble for letting a 12-year-old venture off like that. We played outside in all seasons and organized our own games with all the kids on our street. Parents had nothing to do with it unless someone got hurt. Then your mom put painful merthiolate on your wound, stuck a bandaid on it, and sent you back out to play. TV had 3 channels. We had to entertain ourselves. We had no tech except walkie talkies. It was a great time to grow up! The world wasn’t perfect by far (racism and prejudice were everywhere and women’s rights were non-existent), but there was much that was good.

Born in 1955. Played outside until dark, sometimes later. Skinned knees were common, treated with merthiolate and no crying during treatment. Momma bought me a new pair of shoes and I fell in the stinky ditch. My butt was stinging for days after that whipping. And don't even think about crying, because "I'll give you something to cry about...."
