Quote

Childhood is not dead. Children were worse off when we were hunter-gatherers; they were threatened in medieval times and exploited during the Industrial Revolution. Was it any better in the time of Charles Kingsley or Charles Dickens?

My childhood, I would say, was a bit sad.

I had a very rough and tumultuous childhood.

I have nothing to say about my childhood. It was a perfectly pleasant upbringing - it's not like it was unhappy or anything.

I had a wonderful childhood, which is tough because it's hard to adjust to a miserable adulthood.

I was miserable as a kid.
