Sometimes I feel I wanna travel back in time to the years when I was below 16

The reason for same is nowadays kid of that age have so many exciting things to do. They get access to high end cell phones, gadgets (we as adults get them too but we are already mature enough to understand the use of it and will never bother to explore as the kids do) and most importantly so many fantastic novels to read . In my time I only had Harry potter as a great wizard but now we have so many heroes and super women stories waiting to be read. I did buy the vampire diaries series but I feel I am too old to read such books. I am 24, but still feel as if I have crossed that age of being 16 years and feel the excitement of having a vampire boyfriend, witch and werewolf friends Fantasy being my favorite genre I always get attracted to the young adult section in a bookstore, but when I see young gals scrolling through them and giving me strange glances I feel shy and leave that place. My heart is shattered and that's when I feel I want to be 16 again Do any of you feel the same due to any other reason?

Hi pup! I feel everyone more or less feels like you. Everyone wants to be younger and carefree. You know you can not go back to the age when you were around 16 but there is no bar you trying new gadgets and learning their nitty gritty. You could always read comics and the books which teenagers read. No one will stop you. Don't bother about the glances of young girls when you are in their section. As you grow older (say when you cross your 30s) you would wish that you could be 24 only.. Our desires are endless and desires keep coming in our mind.

I have thought for a long time that I wish that I could have my younger years back, because I just think that I wasted them while they were happening. I know that everybody always says that your teenage years are the best ones of your life, but this is just something that I don't really think seems real until you are a lot older and you can look back at how things were. I do not like having the amount of responsibility that I have now, so being under 16 again would be something that I would like to do so that I could once again feel as though I was free.

hello, i also wish that maybe it was possible to travel back and forth in time. i would really like to live my childhood days again and again. they were the best days of my life and it will always be the best. i can never forget those days. school days were the best. i can give anything to live those again. those feelings will never come back again. that's life and we have to deal with it. those friends were the best and they will always remain in my heart. we can never get those kind of friends in our whole life again.

Yeah, definitely I just love to be at those days. It was those days where I didn't had any worries. Only the tensions about the exms which at that time I thought that it was the greatest tension in the world :D. Those were the days where I can go out with my friends and enjoy to the fullest. But now as the age and time goes on more responsibilities are there on my shoulders and with that lot more tensions too. Now I am even finding it difficult to laugh.

16 again?? No, not so much. I know that I'm probably an exception to the rule here. I do what I want now. I don't envy teen-agers these days.

You are right. Nowadays kids are much more advanced than we were. Because now kids can use and see much more advanced technology. Maybe there was no phone, no internet, no Facebook or twitter, but i still used to enjoy much more than today. Sometimes i feel that i wish that i could travel to my childhood again. So that i can feel my childhood again.
