Do you ever feel like you've lost your childhood?

Kia Ora Folks,

For those who feel they have lost their childhood....Good news, when you reach 70 plus there's a good chance you will regain it-but this time in your correct gender

i think many things "lost" can be regained anytime. why not right now? as long as you're still alive, you can change your life. each new day is another opportunity.

Nah. My young childhood was fantastic and awesome, I loved it. I would die to go back to the pre-middle school days actually.. Or maybe not, but you get what I mean.

Looking back I was a rather ignorant child, blissfully unaware of life and its problems. I had no issues, I just lived life with a smile each day; my biggest problems were math related.   

The teenage years are horrible though. My parents became more wary about me acting masculine, about me being anti-social, and they're quite protective parents too so that didn't help.

I feel your pain. My teen years have been the same.

Yes. I was blessed with early puberty, which led to being medicated for what I believe was my emotional reaction to it. Kinda went downhill from there. Wild realization is that even if hormone blockers had been available then, they're not usually given to kids that young.

However, I am enjoying the heck out of my second childteenhood.
Since I'm in charge this time, I get to be as obnoxious, unruly, dirty, shirtless and masculine as I want to be.
