What Were You Like As A Child?

I was a good child. :) I went through a lot as a child and learned at a very young age to not rock the boat and to appreciate what you had. Because you never know when you might loose it. I was raised most of my life with my father. I found that I loved and respected him so much, I did not want to disappoint him. And honestly, if I do anything to mess up, he knew it was an honest mistake and still loved me. Only once did my father ever hit me. My dad, my brother and myself were in the car and my dad was arguing with my brother. When I stepped in to say a couple of words...and I honestly can't remember what I said or anything...because all I remember is that my dad smacked my legs. Wow! I was really hurt...it went straight to my heart! And when we got to his work as that is where we went when we were not at school...a gas station. I just sat in the car crying and depressed. After some time, my dad called me into the station's office and said apologized. He knew that I was a good kid and he was really upset at my brother. Because I was sitting inbetween them, I got the blow when I opened my mouth. And that was the only time my father ever hurt me in all the time growing up. He had such a confidence in me that if I messed up a grade...he knew that I would fix it before next reporting period. And I always did. Thanks dad!!! I miss you and I love you!

As a child I was trained to behave properly at all times. I've been a good child and was also considered as an A student. That was when I was a child, but things changed when I was eventually growing up. I don't know maybe I just got fed up with all the expectations around me, I dropped out from college, find myself work and lived the life I've never lived before, partying, shopping, staying up late at night hanging out with my friends, that was the time when I've been a total hassle to my parents. Maybe that was a rebellious me getting out its shell. Luckily I've snapped out of it already and I've started to make a clearer path for my life again. And hey I wouldn't call a good as gold kid boring, maybe I'll call him reponsible. Cheers.

I was good but very withdrawn scared and lonely as a child and actually very confused to but I was not one causing Problems or anything like that

When I was small up to about age 7-8 I was bad. I was always the one that talked the others into doing something we were not supposed to do. I taught them how to climb the fence so we didn't *have* to play in the back yard only. It lasted for awhile until we were caught and punished. I also would talk my cousin into going to the store down the road. We would get caught for this too. I always knew I would get blamed for things even if I didn't do them. Then after we moved, I decided that I would be an angel and got straight A's in school. I remained good until about the 11th grade. Then it was time to buck the curfews, etc. Ahhh....teenagers!

I was the eldest of three girls we grew up in a very small village and beleave it or not i was very quiet. There wasnt many other children where we lived so I just loved to read and ride my bike. Then we moved to a town when i was 12 so i came out of my shell and started to have some friends. I didnt cause any problems until I was 15 and had my first boyfriend.

as a child i ws vry well behaved, i lived vd my granny tl my high school i use to obey evrythng silently vdout a word..... n nw as m young my granny alys prasies me in frnt of my cousins n i feel my shoulders pumped at that time....!

I was very well-behaved and timid as a young child, but I turned into a bit of a rebel during high school. I gave my parents quite a few headaches and sleepless nights for those 4 years, I'm afraid! I dated a boy who was 4 years older than I was all through high school, which they weren't too pleased about, but they liked him. I was always going out, staying out past curfew, skipping classes at school, getting caught smoking at school... I grew out of my rebellious stage quickly afterwards, as I decided to go to college and make something of myself. Thankfully, my parents were very involved in my life and there was a lot of supervision and discipline, which kept me somewhat on track. They never gave up on being involved in my life and doing their job as parents.

No, I don't think I was the good as gold kind of kid, probably just the average type - maybe naughty one day and better behaved the next. However, thinking back I must have given my parents headaches and heart palpitations too because of my emotional and sensitive personality. I ran away from home, I cry for days over things which upset me, write notes to my mom to tell her that I feel unloved etc.. Could be due to the fact that I was hiding a secret from everybody by the age of 8. I was being sexually molested by a relative but could not and did not dare tell anyone about it. So, it led to my 'abnormal' behaviour and attitude. Hmm, did I say I was an average child? Well, maybe not.

i was a really quiet child , the youngest of six. my mother always said they tried to spoil me but they couldnt. i always remember that and she made me feel good by telling me this.sometimes if there was a row as there frequently is with six kids, my father would blame my brothers if i was crying. i hated this as i didnt want to be singled out and made special.my middle daughter is panning out just like me except that she has a very unforgiving streak if someone hurts her.i,m the opposite as i couldnt hold a grudge for 10 seconds.i like to think i never caused my parents any worry.

I was good until my dad went into politics. I think I was 11 or 12. Things started changing and people began to look at me as how I should be seeing who my daddy was :-( Needless to say I was a hellion. I would take my dad to the end of his rope. I got into a little trouble when I was 14 (driving with no license) and he used his political background to ease my sentencing. I was ordered to pay a fine and work 100 community service hours. The community service part was a bit extreme, I later learned. But they loaded me down with community service so I wouldn't have time to get into anymore trouble. It opened my eyes for a while. At least until I turned 16 and was able to get my driver's license, then all h3ll broke loose in my household! I never made curfew. I was consistently late, intentionally.

mu aunt used to watch over me when i was a child and when we met again just recently and so happen discussing about child. she told me that was well behave as a child, she just leave me at the sofa sitting down and watch tv. unlike my brother she said, a hyperactive one which gave her a hard time.
