If you gave me a choice, to either keep on living as a normal teen right now in this age, travel a little into the future, or go ANY year back in the past, I would choose the past 10/10. And here's some reasons why:

1. The world doesn't have high advanced weaponry ready to kill a whole city with, at anytime, at their will. (of course that would be like before the 80's )

2. I don't have to be concerned about my religious freedom not being completely "free" as in the things I want to do, and others as well.

3. The culture (IMO) isn't as perverted.

4. No wacko presidents in office

5. A lot less people (IMO) had a lack if "morals", and thus the others are generally nicer. (that's relative still though)

6. It wasn't as easy to die in a moments notice. Now with technology everywhere, it isn't as so. (not saying I'm afraid to die, I'm not one of those who gets paranoid by everything )

Some of those are of course a lot earlier than the 80's, but life went on even without the internet, and other things they even had just in the 80's. Fulfilment was still there.
