Typical Canadian Teenager

In the 1900s, the life of a typical Canadian teenager would be very different from a teenager today. Firstly, they are to be expected to behave by their gender, class, and race. This could include what they dress in and what they would say in public. Secondly, in their schools, they will likely rise for the British National Anthem as the National Anthem of Canada has not yet been invented. Thirdly, communication would be very different from today; communication systems is mostly through mail and books, although faster means of telecommunications like telegrams are also invented.

Also, transportation would be much harder for a teenager with only the richest families owning automobiles. Public transportation would also be harder to come by and would be much slower than today. Lastly, much more Canadians were religious in the early 20th century, and thus the church played a much more prominent role than today. No doubt that a teenager would also be influenced by their family, and would therefore be much more religious than a typical teenager today.

More than half of my comrades were killed in one battle because of being misled by our
