Every guy and  girl over 21, can easily notice the huge difference between the 80’s and the early 90’s teenage years and the new millenium’s teenagers. How they act, talk, dress, their outings and, of course, their attitude.

1- El Weekend

Then:
Lunch then Billiards, cinema with friends OR Spotaya 3and el koshk = PERFECT weekend

2- Shatayem

Then:
It was very rare to find someone cursing in public. And if it happened, “khara” would be the most offensive insult used

Now:
Every single girl/boy curses in public and you can simply go f**k yourself if you don’t like what you’re hearing.

3- Cigarettes & 7ashish

Then:
Hide the pack, go to the toilet, smoke a cigarette then use perfume so you don’t get caught

Finally, we’re just trying to deliver a message. Drinking and smoking is not acceptable plus it won’t make you happier. Clubbing every night won’t make you the most popular in town. Enjoy life but try to entertain yourself through more meaningful ways.
