Well, did you ?

not ive witnessed horrible horrible things as a child. you suburban kids are lucky

yes!!!! i kind of miss it

When do we consider childhood to be though?

Birth to 18?
Birth to High School age?
Birth to 13?
Birth to 10?

Because from Birth-Elementary school it was fine, but middle school was shaky, and high school has been terrible.

I'll go with 13-ish and say it was ok

Why ?

Ups and downs. More downs than ups.

I can't complain. My parents are great and I was only mildly teased in middle school.

I didn't have it as bad as some other people. But it wasn't exactly the best childhood either, mostly for reasons I cant type on here.

Eh, it was alright. My brother and I always played sports however he was better so he was praised more while I also played music (was in the orchestra ) and was looked at as awkward by some of my family members - yeah, if you play music in my family, you're weird. I liked music more (hence me being on a music forum now) but it did hurt at the time being called "weird" and "awkward" just because I liked to play Violin. My family isn't really close as is, though, so their comments didn't really affect me.

Yes. Was a great period in my life.

Yes, I liked mine.

Overall, it was ok. I had highs and lows. But serious lows, not suburban problem lows

No, I'm scarred from it. That's why I'm such a mess.

Yes. Very good. Fortunately, my mom had a good income and stable job, so it made life a lot easier and I got most of the things I wanted. I find that having a good household income makes a big difference...a lot more opportunities. Though I've seen some parents do a good job with a low income as well, but it was an uphill battle.

My birth through 14 was Flawless


After I turned 15....

Considering it was from 6-13 years old, I liked it a lot, especially when I was 6,7 and 9.

No, I didn't experience playing with other kids 'cause I have a very bad immune system and I was always hospitalized. I really felt lonely that time.
