..when you were a kid that you never told your parents about??? I remember when I was in Grade 3, a friend and I cut class after the morning break and walked 20 kilometers just to take a bath on a river in the nearby town. Along the way, we were chased by a man with a knife. We were lucky that the man was not able to catch us and he was not able to follow us to the river. We spent the our afternoon swimming there. When we decided to go home, we remembered the man with the knife and planned a way to evade him if ever we saw him again. The plan was to hitch hike our way back to our town. So we flagged the first vehicle we saw and lucky for us they were from our town. We never told them who our parents were because we knew they would surely tell them about our escapades. When we got to our town my friend and I hurriedly went home. My parents never found out about that day and did not question me why I left my bag at school. That is the most dangerous thing Ive done when I was a kid that I have kept a secret for years. What about you..what's your story?

I was about 10 years old and I was staying at my cousins house because my aunt was babysitting. My aunt had to go to the store and said she would be back in a minute and she put my cousin William in charge. He was about 15 at the time. My other cousins were there too and they were two girls around my age. William called us into his room, locked his door and told us that he was in charge and that we should strip our clothes off. My cousin April did and he ended up raping her, but my aunt came home before he could get to me and my other cousin. April didn't want to tell her mom because she was ashamed and I never told because I was scared. My cousin William is in prison now and my cousin April is a stripper. To this day I have not told my aunt or my mother.

I feel sorry for your cousin April... she never got over her ordeal and I guess it hurt more because it was her brother that did those things to her and in their house too... Im glad he was imprisoned... Thank you for sharing your story.

That's pretty... scary. I don't remember in my childhood anything like what happened to you two. The only thing I did was take the car out every now and then, and drive my friends around when I was 15. I luckily never got caught. Also, I'm sorry for your cousins...

I don't have stories like you.But I have some advices for you...It is very dangerous when you leave the school with your friend without permission and adults, your parents will be very angry if they know this story .I know that you scared your parents to scold you,but it is for your own good........

Im an adult now and that happened a long time ago.. Now, I am a mother of two little boys and I never let them out of my sight for fear they would do the things I did then.. :) I am aware now of the dangers I put myself into when I was younger that is why im a bit protective of my sons. I was wondering if anybody ever experience the kinds of adventures I did when I was younger though...
