1. I graduated in '81. At 1:02, when he talked about shoes, I remember Nikes were popular in the early '80s.

2. Went to Catholic school so we had uniforms but loved the job of clapping the erasers outside. Also remember having to cover all our books with brown paper bags. And anytime someone got sick the janitor would put down something that looked like cat litter but had the most atrocious smell- just talking about it now and the smell comes right back!

3. I still wear Jeans T-shirt And Sneakers or Boots!

4. How about the left handed scissors that were as useless as the others but had the nice green plastic handles and the word 'lefty' stamped on them?

5. Don't forget the great smell of mimeograph ink!

6. Trapper keeper or bust, baby!

7. Disco

8. WOW! the Trapper Keeper, Dang I remember those……..Great childhood memories even when it came to going back to school.

9. I miss those days so much!! This was a great trip down memory lane. Thank you so much!! 🥹

10. I couldn't be a kid today. We had common sense

11. Didn’t see Big Chief writing tablets. The red paper tablet. They came out with a mid 80s one called Son Of Big Chief. I remember in 1st grade the teacher cut the lid off our pencil boxes. It felt like an outrage. She said they were a nuisance since they got stuck. I remember the class Xmas parties and the excitement of opening up the generic class present everyone got. Normally a hot wheel for all the boys.

12. When I was in school in the 80s, I liked the girls with the big hair.
    The 80s was the best decade for me as a teenager.

13. Big hair, shoulder pads and "Love's Baby Soft"

14. Movies during the 1980s Raiders of the lost ark I miss the 1980s when I was a teenager

15. Man I can SMELL every one of those scratch-n-sniff stickers….such good times. Where did the time go….

16. ahhhhhh the good old days. No, I mean the GREAT old days! I surly do miss it!

17. That "thumbnail picture" looks amazingly like my high school English teacher, from the very early '80s!
    I did a double take when I first seen it!

18. Dont forget SWATCH watches! I had a pink & blue one.

19. Yeah, that was when you got to keep your school supplies. Now you have to buy for the class, and they all go into the pool of supplies for the whole class. You dont get to keep your own stuff. Communism at its best today.

20. I remember many of these. We had Oregon Trail on floppy disk in our 1st grade classroom. The scratch and sniff stickers were fun too. These videos trigger my nostalgia like you wouldn't believe! Thanks for the memories 👍

21. Many memories

22. We were poor growing up in the 80s and I remember being envious of my friends because of their new clothes and school supplies, none the less the 80s were definitely good, it was a very significant decade for me, I became a teenager in 81 and a father in 89. Thanks for posting 👍

23. I went to middle school in the 80s in Daytona Beach…some of my friends skipped school to watch the INXS concert…those were the days LOL

24. anyone remember covering their books with grocery paper bags and or the comic from the newspaper😁

25. born in 1970 and was raised in the 80's ,the best times of my life . i wish we can go back to to those times .. Everything rocked back then, the clothes, music, tv shows, the big hair,food etc…

26. Until you could cut Jennifer's ✂️ hair.😳😏😒🤣

27. I attended junior high school and high school in the 1980's and loved it. Creativity was at its peak. I feel sorry for today's teens. Smartphones and social media have ruined adolescence.

28. I always had a summer job fun fun

29. I loved school shopping for clothes and supplies. Deciding what to wear on the first day was a huge decision and so much fun
