Do you ever still wish you were a kid?

I remember when the internet was all just fields. Ruined it they have.

And things seemed much slower back then, none of this fangdangled broadband business.

years 11-13 have been truly horrible.

years 7-10 (senior school until GCSEs) was pretty good.

Yep, again.

Yes, 'lots and lots' of reasons ( some even I prolly can't mention here

) but I'd love to be 11 or 12 again, shame that's passed

.

My whole childhood was awesome, 3-12 was just perfect. I would love to relive all those years again.
12-15 was bad/jawn/meh/boring
16+ like now ( I'm 17) and it's starting to get good again

Going back with all your memories intact and intellect is a bit of a minefield as you can't touch any pre-16 fluff without being a paedophile in spirit

I wish I was a kid again, but knew what I know now as a kid. School girls would be in for a shock.

I've never worried about my grades, don't worry about money since I spend it wisely (mostly

), and have plenty of fun because I'm a student. I'll really, really miss the student life when I leave uni, though...and I'm already halfway through, which is scary and sad

In many respects I would like to be a kid again, to derive pleasure from such simple things as toy cars, chocolate bars and trifle (often all at once!). To feel rich when my grandad gave me a £10 note and to feel like I knew it all because I was too young and naive to know any better. And because a year felt like an eternity, now they seem to fly by and I'm scarcely aware they have passed. The older I get the faster time seems to pass for me, and quite frankly, that does scare me somewhat.

But most of all, because I would like my optimism back, that feeling of wonderful, joyful, boundless hope. When I could look at the world and not be repulsed and angered by what I saw. A time before I came to know the evil that men do.

All in all though, I see more disadvantages than advantages. I don't really believe that ignorance is bliss, although sometimes, for a while, I guess it could be.
