    Normal. Life was so simple bad then. Admittedly, some things sucked, like being treated like a baby, bossed around, and continually underestimated...but now that I'm 18, I sometimes feel like people aren't considerate enough of my feelings. They forget that inside I'm still an insecure, scared little girl.

    I don't want to be a kid again. But what I do miss is the love and strength I got from my mom. Stroking my hair telling me everything will be ok. Man, I miss her.

    Dude, age is just a number. I know it sounds so cliche, but it's true. While you may grow older, it shouldn't stop you from doing the things you love, even if it is labeled as "kid" stuff.

    Remember this, growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

    Sixteen is a strange, transitional age. You're being told to be an adult but you don't yet have a lot of the benefits that go with being an adult (money/independence). It's like the worst of both worlds. I promise it does get better (and worse), though.

    I know exactly how you feel. I always reminisce about my childhood. Im almost 20 right now, and I still wish I could go back. Partly because I feel like I was a much more carefree happy person back then. But unfortunately we cant stop time from moving forward. We gotta grow up sometime. I guess everybody has that one age thats the most memorable. That one age that they call their favorite age. The age they wish they could go back to.

    It's normal. I'm only 21, and I really want to be a kid again. I reckon I could do much better next time around. Life really is easy when you're a kid :)

    I miss the times when I was about 8 years old. I was much more carefree, and honest in a sense.

    I have fond memories- but I love getting older. It's discovering yourself all over again every few years. I can drive, drink, live alone, and make my own decisions.
    I can't wait til my 50s...I feel like that's the best decade, just from observation-sake.
