We played football.....and we were too poor to buy a football.....(but we didn't know we were poor LOL) Our football was rolled up newspaper with duct tape. Oh the games, skellizes, marbles, jump-rope, tag, or we just sat on somone's stoop and gossiped about most important things back then.....A movie with friends on a Friday night then ice-cream shop (If we saved enough from our allowance, Kids today have it way too easy) I babysat to get money and looked for little odd jobs here and there to earn money. Gosh, I am with you @captainscentsible39 we need to get Sheldon to build us a time machine and find the fountain of youth....I can't run like I did in those days anymore.

    I had the pleasure of meeting John Kapelos in the summer of 1990 when he came to Nova Scotia to act in the film THE BRUCE CURTIS STORY. He told me many wonderful stories about working on THE BREAKFAST CLUB, amongst other films, especially the fact that Rick Moranis had originally been cast in the role of the janitor, but didn't get along with director John Hughes, so Kapelos got a phone call on a Sunday asking if he wanted to take over the part, and was on-set the next day. Ironically, it was filmed at the very high school Kapelos had attended, which is why his photo is seen at the beginning of the movie. A very nice person!

Ahhhh memories of the good o'l days of the 80's. No cell phones, no school shootings, no 911, no mass shootings. I feel bad for kids these days, its a terrible time to be a young person today.

    The narrator said that nobody knows what Anthony Michael Hall's character, Brian Johnson did to warrant detention. WROOOONG. I've seen Breakfast Club several hundred times, and I can tell you for certain that Johnson brought a flare gun to school (ostensibly to commit suicide for failing Shop Class). Before he could try to harm himself, the gun accidentally discharged inside his locker, destroying school property and a ceramic elephant that was supposed to have served as a working lamp. Brian: "The fuc@ing elephant was destroyed."

I was also true friends with Brainiacs, Athletes, Princesses, Rogues and Introverts, and I was all of those things, never fitting any one mold. That's what makes the teenage years so chaotic and amazing.

      I really liked Molly Ringwald. Being a red head myself, I used to peroxide bleach my hair, to hide the colour at school. Molly really gave inspiration and beauty to red hair being acceptable on girls/women. I mean in the 80's you stood out like a sore thumb being red and were made to feel ugly. It knocked your confidence a lot. At school I was an Introvert/Rebellious.

I told her because it represented that even though they were five very different kids, they were more alike then anyone thought and even though they could be friends in the right setting, the peer pressures of fitting in made it impossible. I told her that was my experience in high school and what life was like in a typical high school.
