1987 CBS News Report on Beverly Hills High School

[@norwegianblue2017]

They called the 80s the "decade of greed". But what was considered rich back then was quite humble compared to the grotesquely rich today.

[@sylvialupehernandez9154]

Funny 1987, 2020, Beverly Hills, now Homeless that all I can say. 1987, Conservative, not anymore, 2020, Liberal, well not even that GEE I TELL I WILL ALWAYS HATE 2020, THE YEAR FROM HELL!

[@vintuitive7627]

I’ve never heard that greed thing and money wasn’t that important to any of us back in high school in the 80’s.

[@KristinaUSA-x5n]

My family has Orange County connections.

[@norwegianblue2017]

​@@vintuitive7627 Just google "decade of greed". It's almost a cliche at this point.

[@andrewd.conard5088]

When somebody has enough money to buy and tear down Alex Trebeck's mansion and build a grander one, yes, the wealth is freaking ridiculous!

[@saltysouthernmomma9354]

I miss the 80s. What a great time in middle & high school back then!

[@guystevens2395]

I grew up in the 80s. It was definitely a simpler, less stressful time.

[@ReginaTrans_]

i grew up in the 90s and 2000s and it was definitely cool

[@Bear_Arms]

simpler + less stressful = boring.

[@ReginaTrans_]

​@@Bear_Arms ​ I turned 20 around the early 2010's and oh man , was it chaotic times??? even more after 2012/2013 like nothing was perfect back then but at the same time, I couldn't have NOT lived a better era honestly, we were the first generation to live life as a video game, and we were raw, giving value to basic stuff like eating a hotdog or watching South Park and moving out our parents house, we felt it so raw like our depression was so hard deep core, that the good times were like a movie to us........ I wouldn't change being young in the 2008-2013 era....... it was amazing, we didnt have cars because the economic collapse was just happening, residual from all the money spent during the last decades, we were the first ones to feel it so young, so our generation started to make music festivals in the mud, walking long distances, designing apps to get free rides because no one trusted anyone to give a free ride anymore like the 1980s, no one notices it but my generation was the first one to not be trusted, to be denied jobs, rides, friendships, relationships, credits, when all we wanted was a job to be loyal forever, even more loyal than any other generation before us...... but we reached a time where no one trusted nothing and we were the ones who had to pay for it......., and yet we made the best out of it, we made it shine in the dark, without any place to be, we found a way, we empowered KZbin and social media, and we built a world on the internet and video games, so that the day people realized we spent all our youth living online, they decided to give it back to us, but we didnt wanted it no more, and they tried to use our "virtual world" but we were so beyond that, that we didnt care about home credits, cars, jobs, families, relationships and nothing really anymore........ and they all went nuts.............. now we are empowering and giving courage to Gen Z and in change, they love us for the world we are leaving for them, a world thats not material but virtual, abstract, material comfort is just ephemera, timeless and indefinite, you can find happiness and comfort with anything really, and social media and apps are just the means to it, but not the meaning at all............... 💋💋

[@shiftinggearsnpassingqueers]

That’s just because you guys didn’t have social media and everybody was pretty much retarded when it came to anything outside of their county or what they found in the newspaper or what limited information they could get on tv

[@jrdnrai]

airplanes as well

[@joyceconnor2913]

Quite a contrast in high schoolers' speech patterns between '87 and thirty years later. They could actually enunciate sentences without today's annoying ubiquitous words of "like" and "you know" every other breath.

[@ivyshannon-gg6dj]

Yeah um, like why are you like so mad, you know?

[@red2977]

Actually no. Kids back then did the same exact thing.

Can we get a followup video with "Where are they now."

[@twinkletoes6290]

Why do I feel like Aaron Spelling saw this segment and came up w the idea for Beverly Hills 90210 after watching this?!?

[@hadihatab3126]

Even though it’s in a posh neighborhood, the kids look like normal everyday teenagers, no ones airbrushed to death with perfect skin and flawless enhanced everything like what is portrayed now and I’m sure even then.

[@martynicole3337]

Erik Menéndez was a student there at the time

[@BigWilt2000]

And Betty White used to go there

[@bonosimic532]

I wonder how many of these fine students featured in this report have since gone on to a great career and in what field they may have excelled. Scientists, Engineers, Entrepreneurs, Diplomats, maybe one of them has created , done or contributed to something that affected us all, as in the technologies we use for example, NASA research etc. Fascinating thought, these things on KZbin are like time travel.
