I had a pretty modest upbringing; it was no pleasure cruise. I don't think I would be as happy today if I hadn't been through that. It was tough; I made some bad choices myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had a very modest upbringing.
I was never happy, and neither were many of my friends. We were just normal kids that were not so excellent at what society wanted from us at that time.
I don't deny that I had a very privileged upbringing, but my parents and that town maintained a sense of normalcy that I think many people find hard to achieve, and I am so grateful for that.
I had a mundane, happy childhood, without much struggle.
My childhood was bittersweet in many ways. We moved around a lot. By the time I was 10, I had travelled thousands of miles, often on my own. My parents were like my friends, so it felt like I didn't really have parents at all. But in a crazy way that was very liberating. It forced me to be independent, maybe a leader, and certainly a survivor.
I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.
My childhood was happy, joyful but very difficult.
I have nothing to say about my childhood. It was a perfectly pleasant upbringing - it's not like it was unhappy or anything.
I wasn't happy at all as a child. I was very privileged and knew extraordinary people, but I felt very lonely: my mother thought I was extremely difficult and my grandmother was extremely severe.
I had a wonderful childhood, which is tough because it's hard to adjust to a miserable adulthood.
