Smile how would you describe your childhood good or bad?

Some People did not find it easy at all. Others had great childhood experience. Growing up in Africa was just great. You can make friends easily in Africa because everybody is your friend to be. We used to play soccer together under the hot sun. We used to swim together in the nearby river and chat all day long. Anytime we were hungry, we had 3 options. 1. go home to your mother if you are a Mama's boy. 2. Go play soccer with friends. or 3. Go fruit hunting with friends. Although my grandparents always had food in the house, I preferred being a big boy on my own. I used to go play soccer with friends and sometimes went fruit hunting especially during the mango season. It was a free range system. You could go out anytime you like and go play with friends all day long. At times you followed your parents or grandparents to the farm and luckily for me, my grandfather's farm was full of fruits. In all, I will say life was very simple and beautiful and I had a great childhood experience. So in general, how would you describe your childhood? good or bad?

Horrible and traumatizing. I spent most of it in placements and remember everyday like it was yesterday. I'd never redo my childhood, not for nothing or anyone.

I was the luckiest kid in the whole wide world. I had a great time especially with my parents, grandparents and friends. I'm still having a good time but my childhood was just great with lots of fun

Although my life is what I personally consider pretty darned great right now, my life growing up was totally the opposite. However, things were fantastic until I was 7, that is when my dad was killed in a train wreck and life just went downhill from there. My mom ended up meeting nothing but deadbeats and creeps afterwards and, unfortunately, one of them moved in with us (oh, he was nice to begin with) for nine long years, giving us nothing but a whole lot of grief, abuse, alcoholism and despair. I would never, ever want to do it over again and I wouldn't wish a life like that on even my own worst enemy. I'm just glad it's now over; mom booted the beast out, moved on with her life (as did all of us kids) and we are all that much better for it.

Although my family didn't really care about me at all and give a shit about myself. (except when they had a reason to punish me). I can say i had a great childhood until i was like 10-11 years old.
There were a lot of other children in the neighbourhood more or less the same age. There was always something exciting going on. We build treehouses, played soccer or had wars with water pistols.
It didn't matter that my parents weren't caring for me at all, i didn't care about them as well.

Honestly I had a great time until I was about 7 years old. Then I lost my Mom and I had to move in with a step-mom. Well, it wasn't that bad but I couldn't just enjoy anymore of my childhood days. Now I'm living by myself and things are really great! Just enjoying life to the maximum!

Well to be honest I consider my childhood the most beautiful and luckiest part of my life. I grew up in a small village. I am not there at this particular moment but I always miss my childhood. I met my old friend couple of days ago and believe me we were talking about our childhood most of the time.

Most of the time people wish if they can go back to their childhood. But I know I be able to go back to my childhood by any chance, I won't be happy, why? because I would be alone. No friends, no Brothers and Sisters of the same age.

So we can only remember our childhood and my childhood was great

I like my childhood
Many people say that it is the best time in your life - I think that too
It is the non-responsable part of your life and you can mostly make whatever you want and almost whenever you want
But often your pocket money aren't enough to go anywhere you want but this isn't problem for me

My childhood? It was bloody terrible, having to live with a spastic brother, an annoying crazy sister, a violent drunk for a father and a mother who suffers from panic attacks so can't go no where. Having family members locked up for shooting people, half of my family on drugs, being poor, having shit friends and having some crappy relationships and living in a shit hole, having social services around your ass yeah it was bad but apart from that all was ok. Also to the guy whos Dad died in a train wreck, sorry to hear about that man but your mum was a dumbass going with all these losers.

I had a pretty good childhood. I always had a good time with friends. I had a few close friends, and we have alot of great memories that we will never forget. I grew up with a very loving sister, and she was always there when I had a problem, or needed someone to talk to. I have no regrets in my life, and my friends and family made it a great experience.

I remember growing up on the streets in Chicago. We used to play little tricks on the streets for quaters. We danced on the streets and on subways. Those were the days when life was really hell. It wasn't that bad though because I got used to it. Living on the streets, you gotta be smart and you gotta be strong cause only the fittest survives.

As compared to others I had a good childhood experience although I expected to get more out of my childhood life. My Mom was a single parent but she still did her best to keep all the children happy. I love my mom.

My childhood has been filled with good memories. I grew up in a remote barrio but people there have taught me a lot of things. At 6 we transferred to the town and while the environment was never the same as my old place, it made me get on with friendly people as the neighborhood was very accommodating. Though I have my childhood inhibitions, I have still enjoyed it and I couldn't help but smile everytime I reminisce it.

terrible, i had severe-depresion, severe-mania and paranoia still i guess going through all that at such a young age has made me stronger, childhood sucks for some and is great for others.
