Do you wish you were little again?

I do.
I hate being almost 18. Everyone expects so much from you like my parents want me to think about my future and i don't want to right now. and I feel like my siblings are growing (socially, emotionally etc.) past me and I'm just standing still. I want to go back to when I was about 5 and me and my sisters could play imaginary games and have our inside jokes. Now they have inside jokes with their friends that I don't understand. And they don't want to stay home with me anymore they want to go hang out with their friends. My sisters are really my only friends and i feel like they don't care about me anymore. i know they do but it's hard to be excluded especially by your own family.
I just want to stay a kid.

Does any one else feel like that?

I don't...not really. I like being at the age that I am, now. I'm on my own, I have friends, I pay my own bills and buy my own groceries. I go to a clubhouse that caters to grown-ups, where I can do grown-up things with other grown-ups. I can be the Punker that I am, because I'm 33 and not 3. I also wouldn't know about the joys of the Internet if I was very little, under the age of five. I admit that they do have a lot of neat toys for little kids, but I like my big kid toys, such as computers, and Routemaster replicas.

No way!! ! I'm so glad my childhood is far behind me, and I wouldn't go back for all the money in the world; I'm serious. I like being an adult: I have freedom, friendships, choice of food at every meal, being able to stay up as late as I want, and the enjoyment of sex. In addition, time seems to flow at a very reasonable rate now (I'm 24), while during childhood, it dragged reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaally slowly. Bluntly put, given a choice between death and going through childhood again, I'd choose death.

Not to the little person life I lived!

I'm pretty much content to help my daughter enjoy her life MUCH more than I ever did mine... although the divorce certainly sucked.
But for the most part, I've been re-living childhood vicariously through my daughter!

In my twenties I wanted to go back to my boyhood years so bad that I actually thought of a possible way to time-travel backwards through a meditative technique I dreamed up that had it's basis in relativity physics. It didn't work (did notice time slowing a bit); which is a good thing (I figured out in hindsight), because if it had: I would have warped space-time to such a degree that my brain would have collapsed under its own mass into a singularity point — sucking the entire planet in with it.

If I was a kid again, I wouldn't go to prison for touching little girls would I?
Eh, I think it would be cool to be like 7 again with the brain I have now, but I don't think its worth being in school. But then again . . . being in school means being around girls who are also 7 . . . so I think I would go to school but not do my work, just like I did from every year after 6th grade. I don't have any good childhood memories, I would like to make some.
But if I would have a stupid 7 year old brain again, then f**k it.

no no no no no

i had a rotten childhood.

But you can probably change that if you can go back as smart as you are now.
My only concern is that I might tear a whole in space and time for going back in time to do something that I would have never gone back in time to change if it didn't happen.

amazing how many people here didn't like their childhoods. including me. would never want to return. you can change your adult life, if you don't like it, and if you do want to change it. if you don't like something, you have only two choices; you either accept it or change it. self-pity is the worst thing you can do (i was there, it was big mistake).

I still am little.

i feel you i didnt enjoy my particular childhood.. but if i could have it better.. theres a lot that im just not prepared for in the world.. like everything..

I miss some parts of my childhood. Allthough I didn't fit in then either, no one expected anything from me. People at my age were also easier to talk to.

No not really my childhood wasn't very good.

Not for all the cadbury cream eggs in the world . . .

I'm glad to be in my 20's. This has been the best part of my life so far. I hope I just keeping moving in this direction. I mean, no matter what I do now, I'll never be as socially isolated as I was in my early years.

I know where you are coming from here I might sound a little harsh here but you do need to let go and move on with your life I had to force myself to move on. I had to make myself much more paitent a lot more humble person then I use to be but the only way I got like that was a wake up call which happened earlier this year. Friends and family are important if you have trouble socialising with people in a social group just go on this website there a chatroom there are the discussions you might even meet people on here who would end being your 'best friend'.

Still 100 % childlike inside, thank God.

Edit: I'm 27. Guess I'll never "grow up".

Ok, can I play now ?
