These kids must be about 66 or 67 now. I hope life has been kind to them.
Children before social media and mobile phones... Wise
Belfast kids during the troubles. It was an abnormal childhood. Well done all of them.
The actual Troubles started in 69 ... this was 67.
My word. There was respect and manners then. Such honest straightforward children. ❤
lol only because the eejits ended up on the cutting room floor
@@jojojo8835 Haha, I'd have loved to have heard what the eejits had to say. Imagine how entertaining THAT would be in 2024!
So eloquent for their age, rather mature. So adorable too 🤗
Priceless, each one of these children, i hope they are all healthy and happy adults.
Look at the first child, with all the pupils carrying on working in the background. What a difference to nowadays. It’s great to look back at social history.
Right! I know. I was 6yr old in 1967. It was a very different school day for me in those days. I'm very sure it's not the same in today's school day in a kid's life today.
What you’re saying is kind of funny to me, my parents were children in the sixties and so were their siblings, it’s like you describe children behaving better back than, Nerdy and polite kids always existed and do exist this days and they’re just as clever and kind, but also a lot of kids back then were enjoying getting into trouble, some of the funny stories of tricks pears played in each other and on their teacher could be seriously damaging and disturbing, I feel like cheeky children used to put their best efforts in their tricks. Even my dads older brother, who is on the nerdy genius side of the scale used to get really clever with test cheats (which this days, I wonder if children had to cheat by reciting their lessons and text books, wouldn’t they have more hands on experience of the subject they’re studying?). Funny stuff, I am not sure if children really were better behaved back than, I am sure they got to be more hands on with their work, and that some children struggled, every generation has particular struggles and victories.
A lot of anger in these children though...
Yes they were told to xD
Wonderful, fluent amazing children. Imagine trying to interview today’s little darlings.!!!!!
These Irish kids sounds so articulate and expressive.
Irish?? Not in england?
@@gthewolf7948 belfast which is on the island of ireland
Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK.
@@pershorefoodbanktrusselltr3632 Can any of you tell, by their accents, whether these kids were Catholics, or Prots?
No phones and computers ruined these kids lives, life was so black and white then with a moral respect for people…… so glad this was my time
War, sadness, and strife went on then also. We shouldn't look at the past wearing rose colored glasses.
Yay for 'spinster' girl! 😊
She is so right 😂
Something tells me she preferred the company of a lass.
When I did my MA Education on
Children’s Values, the answers the kids came out with just blew my mind.
That little boy's innocent face melts my heart
I thought it was a girl
It is a girl.
How sensible to get the children to explain their feelings about all emotions. Today it's all about 'feeling stressed' - without actually working out what you are really feeling (which could be sad, tired, angry or confused instead).
I feel, people have gotten over to the terms which is the most broad one which seems to gain the most familiarity and eventually validation for their state of mind. Like - I am feeling depressed(and not just a sad mood swing) because someone else is also likely to be sad but not because of mood swing, but just sad for some other reason, so they may also agree yea depressed.)
Depression is not only a feeling, it is way more serious issue than just a bad sad day.
@@VirtualexistDepression is anger turned inwards. This video shows why there were fewer depressed children back then - children were allowed to feel anger and were given the space to reflect on it and work it out for themselves.
These days, children are not allowed to do this. Anger became an unacceptable emotion, so children are either rebelling and becoming destructive or they end up turning that anger inwards and become depressed.
@@katharina... Very well said. You pointed out precisely at the crux of it.
We knew all about "Feelings" from Morris Albert hammering home that song back in 1975.
Sweet kids, I feel both their pain and their expressed happiness.
It’s amazing how this kids able to articulate their feelings. Totally a different world from what I experienced where feelings really got a bad rep… hence, don’t talk about it.
@Raven's Revenge ♣️🦂 Will you shut up about vaccines? Go peddle your conspiracy theories somewhere else. Three times now you've tried to insert your nonsense about vaccines like anyone is interested
Amazing how they can talk like that for being so young
So articulate, unbelievably so. All of the commentatirs agree on this. The interviewer didn't talk down to them.
That was his method- "I don't talk to them, I listen"
How remarkably articulate! Disappointed that Ginger Bap didn't tell his tormentors 'I know where you live".
Hey! You know he HATES being called Ginger Bap, don't call him that. After all, you don't want him curling up his little fists and coming after YOU, do you?
Gingers have very hot tempers and unusually high upper body strength. So have a care.
Oh, and Gingers can travel through time as well
Healthy, gorgeous, articulate kids!
1:40 This kid brought tears to my eyes, such a sweetheart!
Poor Ginger Bap! 😔
He said he was red not ginger so poor red bap 😔🤪
This is really making me laugh as they are so genuine and so expressive with language and hands , im sure i wasnt like that in the early 70s
These kids would be around my age now. I wonder how it turned out for them..?
And I wonder what their offspring have turned out like.
Be interesting to know how life has treated them
Same here, I was born in 1961, I was 6 in 1967. I miss those days very much and the people around me then.
None of the other kids don't interrupt the ones who are being interviewed. The kids back then were very polite, I was one of them. I'm 61 and was 6 in 1967. I miss those days.
I was 6 in 1967 too. "Children should be seen and not heard" and "Silence is golden" are two sayings that used to be popular in those days. Oh, and "Please may I leave the table". :)
Very polite and full of anger!!
@@mikemccaine4229 You reckon? I don't see it myself from this clip, and don't remember being angry in 1967. Happy days, those were for me. YMMV.
Because they were usually beaten and afraid
@@vb8428 Were you actually there? Or is this the surmising of a fevered imagination?
The BBC do love children.
Lol I see what u did there 🤣
ginger bap....cutie pie 😘😘
The first girl is quite emotionally intelligent, sibling rivalry is eternal xD
It is a guy
@@wladefantIts a girl. Some girls have short hair.
Gosh, I'm the same age as these children and even more gosh, at precisely this time I was having major anger-management issues. The volcano metaphor was pretty apt. Now sadly, butter wouldn't melt in my mouth.
Glad to hear that your pre-frontal cortex has developed sufficiently to keep in check the firing of your limbic system, so all went to plan with your brain development! 👍 The girl is correct. She didn't have the brain physiology, yet, to manage her anger fare-ups. Not until she was about 25 years would she have total capacity to do that. Of course, hormones and sleep deprivation can limit the pre-fontal cortex functioning, so it's sometimes difficult, even impossible, to have control under those circumstances. But I am glad you have your anger impulses under control, now, and presumably avoided a very disrupted life with relationships and jail time. Something to be grateful for!
Did you read a book ? 😁
There should be a comparison between these kids and the current generation ...oh my ! However these videos are absolutely adorable please keep them coming .😂😂😂
Sad to say that no comparison is possible.
so very charming! thank you.
3:22 has to be the cutest little kid i've ever seen, he's like a wee impish cartoon character
I'm scared of him ngl
Yes but just keep him away from the knife drawer 😂🤺
That was what I was trying to recall. The surname Williamson. Dean Phillips? Cornel West? Marianne Williamson is it? Nicol Williamson.
Kids say the darndest things. 1967. I was 17. lol
Beautiful children
Gorgeous bunch of children😊 so interesting❤ I hope they have a nice life
Beautiful, articulate, sweet little Boomers.
These kids are so funny.
That little chaps innocent face looked more guilty than his guilty face.
The last one, especially adorable!
So important not being mocked or mocking anyone worth paying attention
The reason we all do not get new pair of shoes at a time because some of us being mocked gives sad feelings to the rest who deprived to receive on same point.
It looks like a lot of thought goes into their answers, and there is a nice absence of ego (I think), including in the children around the ones being asked questions- not trying to draw attention to themselves. Makes a nice change.
What caught my attention the most was just how articulate these young lads are. I look at today's youth (anyone up to about 35) and their "like ... like ... like" inarticulacy - and I despair.
I don't think you're being fair. It's just that the filler words have changed. Like was absent but ur and ya know were used a lot.
I was just thinking the same. These little Irish Lads are more articulate and focused than most young adults or as you said anyone under 35 currently.
Pff - these articulate children are the parents and generation that dropped the ball for the backward humans we see now.
@@mclare71 Northern Irish. They can't be that articulate if you can't tell what country they are from.
@@badgerboy4448 there’s only one Ireland
Nice conversation 👌
The reason the children spoke like this is that they were around well mannered adults, were taught how to interact and hold their ground, like Ginger Bob!
I was in primary school in 67 in the UK this is my generation, Generation Jones !!
The golden age in Western Nations for Children.
Look at 2024, tech really did not help...
People nowadays are way more repressed. Look how they are able to express their feelings. I am surprised.
The vaccines stopped these kids from getting polio and smallpox you idiots
It was a very different world for kids back then @Mila. I was 6yr old, 1967, back then, probably about the same age as some of these kids.
Love: when a man likes you too much
They were very expressive , like 17 years old teens getting ready for university phrase
That kid had cool hair!
Cool
Poor kids. Little did they know the horrors that would engulf them just a year or two later and remain for decades.
What event are you referring to? I’m not very familiar with American history or the time period this was taken.
What horrors, the roubles?
@@christinah777 they' sound Irish not American and this comment is probably about the Troubles
@@starwood213 oh, I didn't catch the accent. I'm also unfamiliar with the term “The Toubles”.
@@starwood213 They sound Scottish.
People are getting worse at articulating now due to what we are doing currently, using social media. Children are brought up now to communicate more through screens than face to face
That and lack of reading books I could imagine.
I think what a lot of people forget is that the teacher will have chosen the most articulate band confident child to be interviewed or the ones that come across well. Yes these children seem very articulate which is amazing but I don’t think it means kids now aren’t, especially with education standards and social inclusion improving. Definitely get that kids all learned in a certain way back then and were made to obey etc but I also know kids with mutism, nervousness, kids who were Autistic or had learning disabilities existed and just wouldn’t have been interviewed or treated as equally unfortunately. Such was the time.
Hmmmm, we need to be proud of our language, see how they were speaking English like it's so simple 😢, something I have been trying for almost 20 years now yet still finding it difficult,😢am going back to my root.😂😂😂😂😂
I hope the "spinster girl" has had a nice, peaceful life. 😅
Perhaps they selected the talkative ones. 😊
By chance does anyone have any further information on the school or schools these kids were interviewed at? Takes me right back to my childhood in Belfast.
The facebook version says St. Teresa's primary school Belfast. Sep 67.
05:26 looooooooooooooool
The precious days before diversity.
i wish i could speak as well as these kids! I’m seventeen and I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to hold my own in a conversation with them…. the shame…
Goodness that boy did have anger management issues! And name calling isn't nice for children. It's still a delight to watch though, they are so sweet (well most of them anyway!)
First child is Nori from rings of power
What’s his name? How do you know?
@@georgia6413 I think he means this child looks like the actress who played Nori
Kids are more astute & more clever than most adults are!!
Aphex Twin sampled some of this series.
in an album?
I've listened to 5:48 to 5:53 several times and still can't work out what she's saying. Anyone know? And don't say use the captions, because they're auto generated and are mostly way off the mark!
"If you were a singer you would have to rush your interviews, now"
@@Myllkka Yes. That's exactly what I heard, too.
@@Myllkka Thanks!
I put the captions on to test your theory. Apparently, the little girl would be very expensive - which puts a wholly different complexion on her interview!
She said “rush”. If she were married, she would have to rush home; if she were a singer, she would have to rush interviews. Better to be a spinster and keep control of her own life. I would love to know what actually happened to her!
I think she is referring to the interview she's taking part in. A "single" person (I think that's what she meant, not, "singer.") could take their time and do the whole interview, while a married person has to rush home to the family and home duties.
Are these kids known now?
probably not
only one series followed the kids through adulthood
2:27 Sounds like George Harrison a bit
3:50 he was tryna say "I love watching mukbangs on RUclips" but he kept saying "I've been mocked".
This illustrates the difference between British and American schooling and the way the students are treated.
Is this precocious self-reflection due to Catholic confession?
Tbh, I do get that impression. Catholic children do have a much earlier exposure to self reflect- but depending on who is guiding that self reflection, it can be brilliant- like the lad explaining how talking ot out helps resolve it- but it can lead to immense self-guilt and shame if the adults guiding the child aren't aware of what neuroses of their own are being projected onto the process
It's difficult to tell whether these children were Catholic or Protestant, the split is more or less half and half in Northern Ireland. It's an interesting question though.
@@katharina...St. Theresa's School ... Catholic.
@@theeggtimertictic1136 👍
Is the first one the origin story of a serial killer?
No the 4th one.
Everyone commenting that “kids these days hur dur hur” are most likely the grandparents of the new generation. How are they so bad if you supposedly raised their parents so well?🤨love these videos but the comments are always ridiculous.
The Presious days before diversity.
Wait one kid talked about wanting to stab a kid?
It was his brother ... that doesn't count.
Ginger bap 😂😂😂😂
why do they all look like lil Leprechauns ?
My only real question is: Exactly what planet are these beings from?
🌎🎦
They are from a wee planet in the Milky Way galaxy called Earth. They are called humans, human boomer babies to be exact.
Is this from an IRA training camp?
