A lot of adults are like, oh, being a kid was so easy, I wish I was young again, but y'all seem to forget the hard parts, like when you totally flunked that math test, or you completely forgot you were supposed to come straight home and went to the library.
Just think about it, just ask yourself, was my childhood really rainbows and unicorns?

It's funny how kids think. I remember when I was six or seven, I was at the arcade when I got to thinking about what would happen if you took the tokens out of the game machines.

Coffee Table Stage
The sunset shone a reddish gold. Upon two girls, just eight years old. They twirled and spun, they sang and danced. Lost within a youthful trance. A coffee table was their stage.

No, there is no such thing as rainbows. When I was a lad we didn't even have stairs. Going to the toilet was a pain in the proverbial backside. Our toilet was on the second floor so to get to it, me and my sister Harry had to fashion a climbing frame out of tinned meat and goats legs.
Seriously, no, my childhood was pretty sucky in a lot of ways but if I could I'd still go back to those times. Failing a maths test is nothing compared to losing a job or having so little money you can't eat properly. Teenage romance seems like the be all and end all - wait until you have a five-year relationship collapse and one of you has to move out of your home. Just saying - we look back on our youth with longing and yes, perhaps with rise tinted glasses, not because it was easier but because it was simpler. Just my opinion 😁
No! I left school at 14 cos I thought I was the dogs bollocks and new it all. I have no qualifications at all BUT I got a crap job at 17 and worked hard and saved my money, sure I done some daft things but that life, we learn! I come from a broken home, that's no excuse, having respect for yourself and others helps! I remember loving in emergency housing with an outside toilet and having literally nothing! People worry too much what others have got or are doing, build your own future, don't rely on others and have fun!
@were I used to make the girls wank me off behind the bike shed for one of my stolen cigarettes, what is math ? :-/
