  1. Teenager in 1968 Being a teenager in 1968 was very difficult for us teenagers in the lower class. Well, we were lower class to other people , but we were used to it. I was in a group called the greasers and we were constantly into it with the soc’s on the west side. The soc’s had everything from corvairs to posh houses. Us the only thing we were defined by was our greasy hair and being prototyped as troublemakers. Quite frankly the Soc’s got in just as much trouble as we did. We traded spots in the newspaper. The world also had its problems. We had to deal with the sudden assasination of Martin Luther King , Jr. We also had our share off deaths . I lost two of my best friends , there names were Dally and Johnny. Even though 1968 was a sad year , it had its highlights. My favorite basketball team the Celtics won the NBA championship. As you can see 1968 was not the best year off all time , but we figured out way to make it better. Sincerely , Ponyboy Curtis

  14. Hippies Hippies: Personally I don’t like the hippies. I feel they have a bad influence on the culture today with people smoking banned substances. Even though there symbol was peace I don’t think they meant it with all the riots and loud concerts they had. I also think they started people being alcoholics. In the end as you can tell I think Hippies are responsible for many of the drug abuse problems today.
