When you were young did you enjoy your youth?

I enjoyed some portions of my youth but it was curtailed by an early marriage. I never experienced the freedom to spend my own earnings. I faced responsibilities so early in life. The parents were badly disappointed because they thought I would be more responsible with my life. They sacrificed for me to get a good education but I did not put importance on these since I thought that love is enough to bring me happiness. Too late for regrets.

Hi Dominique My parents always remind me to enjoy being a youth because it can only happens once. Now I am already 22 but I am happy to say that I enjoy being young very much, I have a loving parents who are always there for me. But still it is not too late to enjoy life, make everyday a special day. They always say that life begins at 40, so why not start making plans so that you can catch up to your youthful days.

I loved my childhood except for the school part of it and in my teen years I had a good time but I wish I had not have been so shy when I was young, I am sure I could have had a happier time...

Yes, I did enjoy my youth somehow even though I miss doing the things I did back then. I still want to do them. And I agree with you, when I was young I was always in a rush to grow up but I didn't realize it was so nice being a kid.

I think that I did in a way, but my biggest regret was that I was so impatient to get from one point to another. Time did seem to be move a bit more at a slow pace during those days for some reason. Now it seems like I am forever scrambling to catch up. It is just funny how life works like that, where we miss the teenage years and childhood years, once they pass us by. It is not going to rather get really any better from here sadly. There are just going to be a lot of times where it does in fact seem where we really just look back and just wonder where everything went in life. We can't look back for too long, because life went on. The innocence of youth is something to be cherished, because once you pass your teenage years, it gets shattered quite quickly.

i enjoyed my youth to the fullest. i did things that helped form who i am now like my first love, my close circle of friends, my experience in college which for me is the beginning of my mature life. when i look back at my youth i only have fond memories and no feelings of regrets at all!

Yes, I did. My mom trusted me to do anything as long as it was good for me. I am not saying that my youth was the happiest time but I enjoyed it. Although my parents were not rich and didn't give me what I wanted like any other young people of my age. I just had to make the best of everything. I enjoyed going anywhere on foot or by bus. I didn't envy those who had the pleasure only enjoyed by rich people.

Sure does! I can't believe I'm already 21 years old...I feel like just yesterday I was 13. LOL. I had a great childhood, I miss it every day. I miss not having the responsibility, not having jobs, having summers completely off... Waa waa waa, the real world STINKS! lol

i really enjoyed my childhood years..even though i got so many wounds because i never ran out of things to do..but i super enjoyed it..not until my adolescent years came..i experienced peer pressure at that time..and it made a big scar in me because of the group of friends i had and eventually the ignore me after a misunderstanding...

Sure I do enjoyed my childhood. I have lots of memories that were cherrished during that time. If only i could turn back time, I would like to stay young. LOL!

I was not allowed much of a childhood. My father strongly discouraged creativity and imagination. When he was around I was expected to care for myself. If he caught me playing he'd tell me to 'quit fooling around and be mature". However, I am very grateful for my experiences as they have lead me to become a much more responsible, mature, adult than others my age. I wish I could have had a little more fun in my youth, but I am happy for what I had.
