Do you miss your childhood?

November 12, 2009 2:38pm CST
I personally already started to miss my childhood since time is flying by so fast. I just miss being a child and being able to play around with friends - now I have to work, earn money and pay the rent each month which used to me my parents job. Thoughts? Do you miss being a child or your childhood?

hi i miss my childhood of course. i think many people have this kind of feeling, the childhood is a pure time in life. and friends in childhood are sincere and no need to consider other aspects. when i was little, i did not need to consider how much i should earn to surpport myself, i did not need to think about buying a house and others. great.

i do for the same reason that you do. when i was young i didnt have to worry about going to work or worry about paying bills. i didnt have to make meals nor worry about the cost of food either. i had a very nice childhood.

I don't really miss my childhood. I love the point of life I'm at now. I'm 20 years old and in college so therefore I am working but I still have a lot of free time and I'm at that stage where its fine for me to go out at night. Perhaps when I get older I'll stop wanting to go back to my childhood, but at the moment no.

Sometimes, yes. I miss the fact that my actions had few consequences other than grazed knees and muddy clohes. I miss the fact that I could run all day without getting tired, or shin up a tree, just for fun. Now I feel old! On the other hand, I don't think I was ever fully able to appreciate being a child, whilst I was a child - does that make sense? It's only when you grow up, and realise what 'responsibility' really entails, that you feel the loss. Plus, I never got to drink myself into happy oblivion as a child! No, wait...

I miss being a kid. I miss my childhood. Especially around the holidays. I wish things were the same as when I was a kid. I didnt have a lot of responsibility, the holidays lasted longer, I never saw any pain that my family was having. Now I have to work a lot, the holidays come and go fast, my family has been struggling with money and many other issues. YES I MISS BEING A KID.............
