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:

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
