I could cringe a thousand times over at each of my childhood experiences, but today I am much more at peace with who I am, finally.

BTW the question is ambiguous.

It is physically painful for me to remember high school and college.


Life is so much better now.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is confused! I don't know how to answer 'yes or no' to a question that says 'better or worse' - I always get confused by these kinds of questions for some reason.

I'm certainly in a safer environment than when I was a child and I have some 'real' friends now as opposed to people who were mistreating and using me, but I just couldn't see it.

But I do sometimes miss the freedom from adult responsibilities that I had as a child.

It is better for me now. I am not bullied. I am not really forced to do any thing. Or tho trying to find a job or some way to get enough money to live on and trying to find a parner are a big cause of stress.

At least its not being abused every single day by your mother and kids at school once you goto school.

Me either my childhood was horrible and i don't like to dwell on it.
I wasn't quite sure how to phrase the question properly.

I think over all my life is better now. But I miss some things from when I was a kid. Some thing where easier to get away with. They didn't have the same social reprocusions. Like not haqving a shower all the time 8) :D

My life is much better now, than the bulk of my teenagehood (I am going to leave teenagehood this October! :) ).
