I guess some kids around me had to grow up quickly, had all those problems. But I wasn't one of those kids, or around those kids, not at all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages; I was still a child.
I didn't have a good childhood because I never could get along with other kids. I was the child that sat in the corner eating lunch by herself.
I was not developmentally disabled, but didn't mature at the same rate other kids did.
I spent a lot of my childhood not fitting in, in a lot of different ways.
I didn't grow up in a regular upbringing. I ended up at my grandmother's house past a certain age, so I took care of things myself. I moved out of home when I was 16.
I didn't have a childhood, really, because I worked my whole life and... other reasons. So when I had some success, I went ballistic. That was my childhood, and the party kept going on.
I didn't have a dysfunctional childhood or young adulthood, but I was somebody who was very much raised to do what other people told me to do as a person.
I had a wonderful childhood, which is tough because it's hard to adjust to a miserable adulthood.
Everything else you grow out of, but you never recover from childhood.
I was a problem child, and problem children do the seemingly insane because they are trying to find out how to fit into the scheme of things.
