    Turned 13 in 1980. What a great decade to grow up in. Life was simple and summers lasted forever.

    For people who were there...there was an absolute magic about this time 80 81 82 ...and 83. It was a time where you knew every song on the radio. When people talked about the same shows...Love Boat Dynasty Solid Gold Dallas and Fantasy Island. When people talked about the Blue Lagoon or Little Darlings or My Bodyguard. Teenagers talked about Friday the 13th ... People danced at clubs and went roller rinks where they played pop and disco. The early 80s were really like what people fantasized about the 1950s. Lavern and Shirly ruled and even short lived shows like Californis Fever were fun. TH-cam makes these times real again. After 83 and into 84 ...the world was never the same. In the 70s and 80s we had wild times for sure...but somehow the fun disapeared and was replaced with " attitude". 1980 thru 83 was priceless.

    Lowell was a great school and it was a great time to be in high school. Every time I see "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" I feel like I'm watching a documentary... Sadly not only did they turn the campus into a chiropractic college, but in the last few years they sold off all of the athletic fields and built townhomes on the land. All of the still photos used in this video are pictures from the 1980 yearbook, I know I have my copy around here somewhere. Fun fact for those of you who were not Lowell Patriots, back in the 1960's The Doors played a concert in the Lowell gym.

No makeup needed! Hair was long and glossy. Eyes, hazel green colored and big as a doe's! We were so modest then. Our bra straps never even peaked out from under our tops, and cleavage was just not on display at school, not anywhere except at the beach or the pool. Minimal yellow gold jewelry worn.

      idk, i really think it isn't that. i went to an almost entirely minority school in my middle school days, people segregated based on their genetics. the more muscular kids made friends with similar kids with those genetics and interests, the musicians made friends with the musicians, the teachers made friends with teachers, the black kids made friends with black kids, hispanic, white and asians all did the same as well. It is just human nature, everyone is the same. Just like how people back 20 years before your own graduation seem nice and many people have the same young personalities you met when you were that age. Life is a beautiful thing, I just wish technology didn't spoil everyone's futures. I am so addicted to computers and games, I really have missed out on 15 years of life that I could have made a difference with. I hate the 2000's with a passion. I was depressed all throughout my middleschool\highschool years, and it fucked my life up so bad. all i had were computers and games, but that might have been my problem all along.

    I graduated in 1984, so just 4 years after these guys. My older brother graduated in 1980. My class looked very similar to this - long, feathered hair parted down the middle for most boys, although the "preppy" look of parting your hair on the side and cutting it shorter was starting to get popular. Girls with "big hair" or the same as boys, parted down the middle and feathered, but longer. The one thing that struck me watching this is the body shapes - you can't find a "fat" kid in any. picture. Even the girls softball team members had normal physiques. Compare that to today, where half the team are as big as football linebackers. Same thing with the linemen in the football picture - none fat, just bigger. It's not unusual for every high school team now to have lineman approaching 300 pounds. Everyone looked so trim and healthy - before there was a fast food restaurant on every corner and video games at home and cell phones. You had to get on your bike and ride to the mall if you wanted to play video games, and you played them standing up, and they cost money. Great time to have grown up!!

It's already laughable. Back in 1980 people were laughing at the clothes of the 50s /60s. I was not born yet when this video was taken but a few years later but going by what people who were adults and teens back then it was a better more carefree sociable time. I remember the 90s being the same. Sure lots of bad things happened back then but post 9/11 this world has gone to shit. Theres too much technology whereas back then there was a balance. People didn't sit around on social media all day. Music and movies rarely have any originality now. I could go on but I won't. .it was just better back in the day.

    I graduated at this time. People were thinner overall, even older people. Don't know what happened? Could be the food.

      Americans were generally pretty lean and mean in the early 80s and before. It hadn't really struck me how fat many Americans had become until I saw footage of the crowds in the 2000 Olympics in Atlanta. I read somewhere that Americans in 1996 were thinner than many European countries are today. Every industrialized country around the world is getting fatter every year. Just give them time.

    I'd go back and do it again if I could. Today is nothing like yesterday. Kids think their adventurous today - not even close to what we did back then. We had no screens or anything like it, we were outside all the time hanging with our friends and getting into everything we could.

    The High Schools in Whittier, Ca., where these photos were taken, are now 85% Hispanic, Asian, and Black. The music group "Metallica" is from Whittier, California and it's members were in High School around the same time these photos were taken. 🙄
