When did students stop caring about getting a drivers license?

Depends on the city you’re in.

In car cities - it’s a big thing.

In cities that aren’t big car cities - kids don’t care as much.

Where I grew up in Cleveland we had a solid train and bus line so having a car didn’t matter as much - in Columbus, there’s virtually no robust public transit and kids here get cars early.

Same is true of most of middle America

That's interesting. I always thought Columbus was the more developed city compared to Cleveland.

All my friends with teenagers got their licenses and cars. shyt my 9 yr old already calculating the car he'll get based on 7 yrs and how old our cars are now lol

When I was growing up a lot of the girls had a “I’ll get it when I get it” mindset

They didn’t prioritize it like the guys.

I was 30+ b4 I got my license but being mostly in NY didn't need it until I moved out here


But when my son turned 10 I bought my truck and used the carrot or stick approach, I told him when he turn 16 I'm either trading this shyt in or tossing you the keys choice is yours. Since then any snow he shoveling it off, would occasionally wash it he already claiming it as his. He keep up the good work guess next summer it is

Probably for the better

Too many cars anyway

Because the used car market is fukking crazy even a hooptie is going to cost your 4000 minimum. Insurance premiums are insane.

I was able to purchase my 1st car for like 800 dollars and insurance 40 dollars a month or some silly shyt like that.

Easier to just get a Lyft/Uber

Teen unemployment is in the double digits because of all the adults working retail.

The jobs teens had are taken by adults because wages aint matchin costs.

I’m 30 now but I was on this tip too lmao. And in HOUSTON, where driving is damn near mandatory. Wasn’t until I was 17 (pushing 18) and got a GF that I gave af about getting my DL. I was cool riding my bike around. Getting driven to the movies on weekends was embarrassing though. Gen Z really grew up on the internet man. Most these kids who haven’t learned how to get p*ssy yet don’t really want to go anywhere. Rather just chill and play games or troll on the internet. I was the same so not downing it. It is what it is.

Because kids nowadays can be connected to their friends without even leaving their bedrooms. Gone are the days of needing to meet up with your friends in person when all of them are constantly available to you via social media, discord, online gaming and group chats.

Not to mention how expensive everything is now.

I didn't think of this but BINGO.

When I was in HS you literally had to go to the spot to link up with your peops. You could even call an individual but unless they were indoors you wouldn't reach them.

Now. You can play multiplayer shooters or meet females or video chat or even rhyme in a cypher all from your bedroom.

And if you really gotta physically link up, you can know exactly where everyone is in real time and Uber over there.

We used to do shyt like "cruise". I didn't even have a fly car but we'd drive slowly in a big ass loop down the strip and back around, playing the same cassette 10x in a row.

Might pull up on people you know and post up in a parking spot and wild out for a while, then keep rolling.
