Be always a child, and never wish to grow up

You have hit the nail on the head. I appreciate your thought of this discussion. I would also like to be a child who does not have any responsibilities..........LOL! One can enjoy life to its fullest extent when one is child. Everything is looked after by the parents or elders and when does not land into worries. Whenever I see a little child say 2-3 years old, who does not even go to school, I think that his life is the best one and he is enjoying himself like anything and every demand he made gets fullfilled and he is looked after appropriate by his parents and others siblings. Excellent Post!

Hi Sree How are u very nice and true discussion and i am sure everyone like, want and misses their childhood, Regardless they want to be child again or not, they miss it Same goes with me, i sure miss childhood time and company of friends and sibling, but still i dont want to be child again ( as i know its not possible) as every stage has its own charm, Now i am father of two adoreable kids and i dont want to miss them Take care

The happiest in this world are the kids. They don't know the hardships of this world yet. They laugh, they play they eat, they sleep. They cry at times but after being satisfied with food or toys they'd stop and smile and play again. Being a child is once in a lifetime though, we could not go back to our childhood again. Yes, children aspires to grow and be like their hero who are oftentimes their parents or their older siblings and when they did grow that is the time they will realize the difficulties of life which they never knew as kids. That was me when I was a child... I could not wait till my next birthday comes so that I'd be a grown up one who could go to school...then after primaries, high schol and college and and so on and so forth until I reach the fullness of my life and realized that life after all is not that easy. Yes at times, I'd wish I'd be a child again to be able to be free of all the worries and duties that sometimes beset me. But that is of course just a dream and will never be a reality for childhood is but once in a life time.

I always think of going back to my childhood, for the sole reason of gong back to simple times. When we were younger we didn't have to bother about doing wrong decisions, and there was practically no burden for us. Life was simple then. Oh how I wish those times would go back. I used to think that I sort of got fixated to being a two-year old, because my idea of the idea of other people mirrors my own ideas. It's a basic childish way of thinking--that what other like is the same as what you like. When one grows us, he/she learns that there are differences to the likes of people and some might even dislike the things that he/she likes It's different to be an adult, and it's more difficult to act like an adult. I guess that's the reason why there are those who would want to wish to go back to their childhood.

I think we just miss the old days when we are younger and with no problems whatsoever to think of. I think those easy days we once had really brings us again to wish we are young again. Maybe that when we think of an outlet, being a child again is the easiest way to once again pamper our way out of some problems.

Hello Sree...I had a most wonderful childhood,full of fun and laughter,petted and pampered, in a joint family. But its only maturity and life's responsiblities that has made me realize the importance of my childhood....... No I would not like to be a child again...in todays world...and spent my time in front of the PC and the Tv ,and that to in a nuclear family,and losing out on all the physical activities and the loving and caring..i would prefer to just retain the sweet memories with me for ever and cherish it.........

You are so right. Just recently I celebrated my 21st birthday and I was thinking about my life and wished that I could go back and be a child sometime. So now that I cannot go back and change anything, I have decided that I will enjoy as much as i can now,so that after I go old further, I wont feel bad and regret about not enjoying my post teens. bourne

Well I'm happy to be an adult because it wasn't always that fun being a kid, but sometimes there are brief moments when I wish I could be a kid again, but those moments like I said are very brief and dont last long, besides I'm very child like in my real life but not in a immature way I'm very responsible and I know when its time to take care of business but I'm just very young at heart.

Sometimes, I do, especially when I'm having problems, I would wish I was still just a kid, just playing and having fun. It's funny though, because when I was a kid, I never really felt this urgency to grow up. I was just happy being a kid.

to be honest with you; i just want the years to go so, i'll be done with my master degree and get married with my guy LOL although i just graduated from the university last month, and i met with my guy a year ago... but i just feel like wanna get done with my school and go back..since i'm living with parents overseas and my guy is back there... i started to wish for the fast growth after loads of friends started to get engaged and some got married as well...so, i feel really jealous and sometimes feel sad as well.. although, i'm not really ready to be a wife..as i don't know how to do the house work like mum does...i feel like wanna play around and enjoy my time..but still, i wish to be engaged now but not married LOL i don know, it is so confusing though! Smiley,

i want be a child onece againthose days are unforgettable..there is no response to us..we cant separate the good and bad things happed infornt of us..those days are golden pages in my life..i donbt be a matured one..life is too enjoy only..if i am a child i can do it in a better manner..have a nice time in mylot..

Hi friend! Yeah I would love to go back to my childhood and have the same innocence and love in me for everyone..But as you said we should always keep the child in us alive..I sometimes purposefully act childish and irritate my parents and they keep laughing! Have a nice day!

life is hard, that's why some people including me missed the good old days when it was acceptable to just have fun all day like nothing matters but do i wish i will never grow up? then my answer is no, too many good and bad things have happened to me which i can never experience if i were a kid. if it matters i do purposely pee in my pants whenever I'm in a public pool, so i guess i still have a kid in me... or something ^^

i think we shouldnt ever have to grow up because i hate saggy skin and crinkle and you have more fun in your younger life and when you grow older you are less capable of doig thing but when your young your active and energetic but when your old your lazy and depressed so i think noone should have to grow up

Sreekala, WOW! This is a great post. I'm a deep thinker and your words really woke up some things that make me what I am, thanks. There's a country music song that has a line in it "Old enough to know better, but still too young to care" Wade Hayes Even though I'm in my 50's, there are still times that I like to just shuck all the rules and "play" or get wild and crazy and just not care. I remember how I just couldn't wait to be sixteen, drive a car and get to date. Looking back on my life I see many things that I'd just love to go back in time and live again. I guess the fact that being an adult and facing the fact that we are responsible for us, now - is something that we all should hope we learned while we were growing up.

sometimes i want to be a child again and sometimes i don`t.everyone knows that a child`s life is freedom and wonderful,a child will never concern anything ,they can do everything they like,i think this is the reason that i want to be a child again,actually i like a child`s life,not a child. now we grow up,we have our own dream and life,our life begin to become senseful,so this life i like it also. time is spent by us everyday,we can`t make time return,so sooner or later,the child`s life will past,we should have a reality mind,the life now we possess is also so wonderful for us,we can also get the things we want by our hard work.

On becoming an adult and when thinking about the responsibilities, we wish to be a child again. Every growing period in our life is important. At childhood, then teen hood, and then father/mother hood; all are necessary for making one’s life worthwhile. So I will say just enjoy what you are now. Do your duty. Mere thinking of go to past could only help to inject some sorrows, and nothing. May think about the happier things happen in childhood and be happy.

it is true that i miss my childhood days but i can wish that i never grow older but i believe that there is no point in such wishes that be just useless and we all have our memories of our childhood days and we can find joy and happiness. sometimes when i walk on the road that i used to take on the way home from school, i imagine my bro and me having our school bags on the shoulder and chatting about how school was, then my feet by themselves slow down and there is a smile on my face and carry on. i won't like to be a child again and like Shakespeare's seven ages of man "all will have a second childhood" and that is when we grow old.so, just wait and we will have our childhood back and can enjoy it!! good luck

Hi Sreekala! Yes, sometimes it's really nice to remember our childhood days when we felt so free, unaware of the problems around and just living one day at a time. But I guess what I really miss is the childlike faith wherein a child will just sit at the dining table and ask for food believing that his parents have provided them. That's what I always want to go back to and have: "a childlike faith in our Lord" ..trusting that He'll take care of everything for me.

you cant win, when your old you want to be young and when your young you want to grow up.
