Growing up in the 90s had a pretty unique set of stressful situations. Sure, it was never life or death, but sometimes it really felt like it.
90s kids experienced their own struggles, ones that kids today wouldn't understand at all. They have their own problems, sure, but ours were pretty much the worst. I mean, of course we think that because they were our problems, but still!
Check out the problems and see if any of these sound familiar:
You lost your favorite Lip Smacker and can't find it in store anymore
When your bangs or your bowl get cut uneven and now it'll take weeks to even out OR you have to cut it even shorter
You forgot it was picture day and didn't wear the cute outfit you were supposed to
You missed the newest episode of your favorite show and now you have no idea when you will ever be able to see it again
Having to see the same commercials for the N64 over and over again even though your parents already said you can't have one
Going to your friend's house to play Nintendo, but then they get bored because they play it all the time
When Koolaid stopped making the flavor you liked
When you weren't allowed to check on your Tamagotchi until recess and it died
And that wasn't all we had to deal with...
The pain that we felt when those hair elastics with the plastic beads would break and snap into your head
Any time your parents forced you to wear an outfit
How quickly you became annoyed with the Barney "I Love You" song
When you would get home from Blockbuster or whatever video store you went to, only to realize that the person before you was not kind and did not rewind
Or worse, that it was the wrong tape
The true friendship test that would be whether your best friend liked the same boy band as you
How many of these things you remember dealing with as a kid?
Polly Pocket was one of the most popular toys of the 90s. She was this tiny little character who lived in these itty bitty houses that were tucked inside little plastic cases. They each had their own design, whether it was a shell, a heart shape, or a star, but inside was a whole other story. Once you opened the plastic case you would see that it was an entire little dollhouse! FlickrWe all had our favorite, but over the years we outgrew them. Well, it turns out we should have been holding on to them! Polly Pocket may have
