I suppose I'd be in the minority when I say YES!! !. I would totally relive my childhood! My childhood years were probably the best years of my life. Growing up in the '90s was the best. I miss everything about my childhood and of the '90s; playing Super Nintendo with my cousin, the old Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, Disney was churning out movies of such high calibre that had been unseen for decades, accompanying my mom to work, I could go on for days. :)

Nope, too many people respect me and my boundaries as an adult, wouldn't trade that for being popular in school. I wouldn't trade where I am going for it either, because with all the hardships I have went through I have gained knowledge, different viewpoints and a little bit of wisdom. I know more about myself now than I ever have and I am just going to keep learning, when your a teen I think you lose track of who you are.

And I don't feel adult yet. And there are many things I should, f.e. find boyfriend, be soooo serious, dress like an adult etc.
Being adult requires asskissing and groups. You must be nice to people, because you must work with them. I miss the past when teachers divide us to groups and said what to do. Now most infos are hidden and I have to ask. I hate to ask people and I can't stand their behaviour.

I find it best description of being adult:
http://rohitaggarwal.wordpress.com/2007 ... t-of-view/
I hate that many people who are Above-Ones (teachers, bosses etc.) don't care and for them copy-paste work is the same as better-quality-and-my-own work. Or even better, because copy-paster smiles more nice. Adults prefer support and asskissing than quality. It's really demotivating. I don't want to be an adult. I hate to ask and asskissing.

If I could come back in time, I would change some things.
I'm a person who likes to make corrections where it's possible. It always can be better. I miss my childhood, because I'd like to live my life again and change it all.


no...that's being a petty b***h adult; y'know, the kind that insists you watch the news and take interest in the "important issues of our time that have never been as important as before" so that you'll mean something...and also the kind that insist you do what you have to do to make a decent living, even if it means never pursuing your dreams.

I don't respect those adults at all.

Follow your heart, kiddo. Feeling like an adult will come in time.

I run my own business which is slowly becoming more and more successful, and I still watch cartoons, and I love toys...and play video games once in a blue moon.

I'm 28 though...believe me, I can feel age setting in...

If by Disney movies you mean animation I agree. Around the time Hunchback of Notre Dame came out the movies got worse and worse. Nothing like Aladdin, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast and Oliver and Company (I think that was Disney).
I had a Sega Master System and I used to play my friends Nintendo 64.
I loved my childhood years. My sister was bossy but I never saw the need in going out to make friends on my own. I never felt that I should act like people to be accepted. One thing I should have done was try to learn more. I'm surprised that I didn't try to learn about science when now it's something I could spend hours learning about.

I overall couldn't stand the '90s.

The cartoons were uninspired, the music was awful, and other than the Disney movies, the majority of 'em weren't worth remembering, save for Forrest Gump and a few others.

I love the '80s; I'm an '80s child, and always will be.

Cartoons these days are horrible compared to the cartoons of the 90's, except maybe for Finding Nemo or How to Train Your Dragon. The daytime kid shows are horrible.
Music: You Am I, Silverchair, Nirvana, etc. Awful? I think not. Unless you mean Hit Music? There's quite a lot of good rock/punk from the 90's that not many people know about.
I suppose it all comes down to what you like. I do have a soft spot for 80's movies though.

Do you miss your childhood eh?

Hmm...how can I miss my childhood when I'm still living it ?:D

I'm mature in that I don't misbehave that often but I don't feel like I'm that old.

Grunge...I hate grunge music; not too big on the '90s rap scene either. I thought the whole thing was a massively pathetic follow up to the '80s.

I wouldn't know how cartoons today are cause I don't really watch much TV...but to be fair, most people don't; more quality cartoons were made at a time when people watched TV; they don't anymore.

No, I don't miss my childhood. I miss a few things from my childhood, like being able to do certain things I can't do now, but I wouldn't want to be a child again or relive my childhood, as it had much more bad sides than good.

I'm doing fine, as an adult. I don't need to be a child, again and especially with all the snake oil cures and therapies, around.

What you just described was the 2000s decade, not the '90s. :lol:

Forrest Gump was the '90s genius. And in the '90s, everyone studio was trying to out-Disney Disney by well...doing it just like them.

Didn't say I was much of a fan of most modern music either, but I thought the '90s music was pure, utter crap.

Yes, the majority of movies in the past 10 years were indeed pitiful remakes...but you also had Lord of the Rings, and the two Matrix sequels, as well as some great comic-based flicks too.

Well, the cartoons now aren't too great either from what I'm aware of, but the thing is they're currently trying to compete with the internet in a time when...ya kinda no longer can.

The cartoons of the '90s weren't up against the internet...yet save for the DC based shows, and Disney shows, most '90s cartoons were utter crap. Need I honestly mention C-Bear and Jamal, or even the live AJ's Time Travelers? How about Wish Kid, or that show where they took several then-popular sports players, and had them help kids or something like that?

The '90s did have Power Rangers, I'll give it that...

I'm extremely attached to my childhood. I take comfort in stuffed animals, toys, and cartoons as they are a way to escape from how harsh the world can be. I only have good memories from online gaming though since it's all I ever spent time doing as a kid.

Yes, I miss my childhood, and I would love to turn back time and re-experience it all over again, as well as seeing loved ones who are long lost, seeing other loved ones younger. My childhood was basically a very good one, and although there are 2 experiences I could really have done without, all the good outweighed it by far and would be worth reliving.(Especially now that I know that the last of the two things I could do without didn't end up ruining my at the time 5 remaining childhood years).
