how were you as a kid....

[slipknotpsycho]

pick the one that most resembles you...

[stinkyattic]

Hm, depends what you mean by trouble.
I was a goody two shoes who rebelled against my parents by doing the thing I knew they hated most, which was not doing my homework. Other kids rebelled by drinking beer and smoking cigarettes and shoplifting... I was getting grounded for having not enough As on my report card, lol.
So if you asked my mom, she would shake her head and tell you I was 'difficult'.

[slipknotpsycho]

trouble = getting grounded all the time, doing stuff you look back on now as being 'bad' getting the cops called on you etc... real trouble not... "i'm not doing my homework" :p

[halfassedjediknight]

i was terribly average. i wasnt really bad but then again i could have been a better child. it all depends on how you wanna judge i guess.

[slipknotpsycho]

wow... so far i'm the only one to vote satan.... o.0 i was a horrible rotten kid... =/ i regret it now too... most of the police force knows me by name :(

[Bluntmasterbabe]

I was definetly a handfull...wild as hell;)

Glad I got it out of my system when I was younger because I'm kinda boring now that I'm in my 20's.

[The.Severed.Angel]

I was an average kid, did get into the run in with the cops a few times. I never got in trouble, but I was a terrible disturbed child with horrible thoughts. Not like, oh, I wish my parents were dead, things that could script a horror movie. I still have some of those thoughts, but that made my childhood horrible.

[Blitzed]

The only reason I didnt put satan is avoided getting caught. But yeah, I was a pretty bad kid. I did some stuff I could have regreted, but I like to live with out regrets, and I gotta admit it was fun at the time!

[birdgirl73]

I was a smart alec and a back-talking handful. There's a big surprise! Did great in school but I was compelled to push the limits at home. The "strong-willed child," I've seen it termed in books. As I was telling a friend last night, I'm a little amazed my mother didn't put a bullet through my head before I reached the age of 12 or 13. She took it in stride. And she laughed and laughed when my own son went through his mouthy phases.

I stood out in stark relief from my older sister by six years and my younger one by two, both of whom were well-behaved, docile little angels.

[slipknotpsycho]

well, middle childs do tend to be alot more hostile and outgoing (some tend to strive harder at making themselves better, but for the most part it's the other way around) it's only natural to crave that attention when you're hte middle child... as you're not the oldest and mommy/daddy's grown up baby, nor are you their little baby...

How old is your son? Do you have any other children? Sorry, still a noob:D

[slipknotpsycho]

could be wrong......

but 1 son and he's in his 20's in college....

well one biological son...

<.< there's always me :p

[birdgirl73]

That's right! I have a number of kids here whom I love and adore. Truly. And then there's Slip, whom I wish I'd been able to adopt and really raise. I also have special maternal feelings for Orangeman and Billionfold and also for Baby Face Abortion and Reb. All these folks have parents/mamas of their own. But I still love them like they're my own.

My own natural-born son just turned 21 and is about to start his senior year in college. We're past the rocky phases now, fortunately, and there were mercifully few of those. Tonight's his last night at home before he returns to North Carolina for the fall semester.

[happiestmferoutthere]

Up until 6th grade I was actually very good. Very shy. Very afraid my dad would beat me if I fucked up, so pretty obedient. After that I kind of got mad and my whole goal in life was to get over on my dad, and get away with what ever I could. Nothing too serious. Even when I was misbehaving, I was always acutely aware of any consequences. Just smoking or cutting class. I got in trouble a lot, all the way until I moved out at 18.A lot of flushed pot and broken cigarettes. It got pretty dramatic at times. I was the 4th out of 5 kids. Very busy, noisy, chaotic house. Today I can't stand noise and chaos.

[thcbongman]

I was a hell-raiser.

Now I'm insanely boring, and mellow. Go figure.

Snowblind, would you please do us the courtesy of reposting your thread but without use of the C-word this time? It'll live a longer life-span that way, and you'll be able to get your message across just as well, I'm sure. Thanks.

[Bluntmasterbabe]

Oh wow...about my age. That's awesome. I bet he thinks you're the coolest mom ever!:D

[Breukelen advocaat]

As they say in Brooklyn: Fuhgedaboudit!

We were wild, but probably not as bad as the worst kids then or today. We made go-carts out of wooden boxes, rope and old wheels. We played stickball in the streets, punchball, ringaleveo, and many other games. There were bad things though, some of which I wrote about recently (posts below). By the time I was in my teens, and having had jobs, I was considerably more adult. I would say that working odd jobs, like shoveling snow, bicycle deliveries, etc., as a kid didn't hurt me at all.

We didn't realize how rough we had it, compared to many people in this country, until later. Spoiled we were NOT.

He only thinks that when the answer is "yes." When it's "no," he thinks his father and/or I are the devil incarnate! He won't appreciate those "no's" till he's much older.

lmao... i still remember the whole thing about him wanting more money for his trip (i think it was to cancun or some other similar vacation spot?)

that was priceless in fact....

[thcbongman]

This is the son that my picture reminded you of?

I'd be interested to see if you are willing to share it privately! I'm curious!

[snicklefritz1825]

Me growing up young teenage years I was a straight up church girl. When I hit 17 when my depression got really bad was when I started drinking and my depression made me a bad person. I'll always have a good heart but like any other person I like to break some of the rules.

[Ganj]

Same with me. I was a charming little devil who always caught a break. Easy teachers, principals, circumstances, parents, etc. I basically skated free anytime I disrupted the peace. To this day I like to think that I was just a clever, rebellious child who used obnoxious, disruptive behavior to get my way and get out of class. That played out real quick though and now I live the repercussions on a daily basis. I could lament my past behaviors and ultimately come to regret it, but I know that's not who I am now. I have changed and I can look back on the past and give thanks for the lessons it has given me for the prosperous future.

[twoguysupnorth]

i was a pretty good kid but i found trouble or trouble found me fairly easily. just the normal skipping school, drinking and smoking. drinking got me in the most trouble of all, but still nothing too serious.

[higher4hockey]

i had a problem with authority. not a problem like i wouldnt do what i was told, but i just basically did what i wanted to. this is many oncerning school, when i was in elementary school if i felt like getting up to get a drink of water i did. and not in a rebelious type way, just a im thirsty so im going to get a drink. and later in high school it ballooned into, i don't feel like being here so im going to leave. i was never loud or difficult about it, i was usually quiet and in the backround , but all my teachers new that i was going to do what i wanted to.


i was pretty good at home though. never gave my parnets too hard of a time. at least not anymore than the average kid.

haha yeah what do yall think, I definitly say angel and happiness blew from my wings hahaha

[partyguy420]

i was satan... i started smoking ciggerets when i was 4 or 5....

[Blindman0v0]

Don't remember.It was the late 60's early 70's. I made it out alive though.

[chaliceburn]

I pissed on some other kid's face when I was about ten while his mom was inside with visiting my mother. Something about him just pissed me off, no idea what. I think I was supposed to be "playing" with him or something. This is just one incident, probably the worst
one, I'll have to think about it to be sure.

My poor mother still irrationally blames herself I'm sure, like not buying me enough Atari games could make me do *that*. I was just nuts. I did lots of things, don't have time to name them all, although I'd love to ramble on I guess I'll save some rambling for later.

Edit: Damn, I never strangled a retard, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Guys, I'm not sure what it is about this thread, but I just deleted a second post that used an instance of the C-word, a derogatory term regarding women. Please avoid the use of that word at all costs. SmokingSkeleton, you'll need to repost your thread without that word if you want it to remain visible above. Certainly descriptions of yourselves as children do not require terms such as that.

i was a little devil, but i did have my good days.

[tootsie roll]

Then there is me. Always chopped liver.

You're my sister, Toots! Aw, heck, i should have worded that differently. Seriously, I also love and adore my contemporaries here, too, and you're one of them. But you're not young enough to be my kid like my "kids" are!

[poiuyt]

Up until 14 years old I was an angel. I never got in trouble at school, except that one time I got sent to the principal's office in grade 2 for telling a girl "you suck". I think I even cried when the principal came to get me.

[twoguysupnorth]

yeah the c-word sucks. i find it offensive and im a male. didnt see either but you were on top of it BG.

blown out windows

shhhhh!

[4twentE]

average I guess. you'd have to ask my parents. I don't remember back then.

[LuckyG]

I was a boring kid up until I was almost 19. Computers, reading, D&D, not a lot of friends, depression, kind of a loser and a loner. Then, as cliche as it might sound, I started drinking to fit in with the "cool" kids. But I didn't. So I drank more. I finally learned (the making-yourself-puke-with-a-finger-because-you-drank-wayyyyy-too-much way) last August that drinking was bad for me. I took up toking last winter because I was bored, smoked with the wrong kids, gave it up because of them, then came back to it this spring. Six months of being by yourself in a small town with no drivers is a great, if arduous, way to get to know yourself. Now I mostly like where I am, and I can stick by my guns. I'm still kind of boring, but at least I'm a really nice guy.

[420MissHighTimes420]

I was a little wild child, always have been. I feel terrible for my parents. But I had my good days, and I didnt become satan himself until i hit about 11 or 12. but after aout 16 I've been a lot chilller.

[pass_the_dubbie]

All I did was play pranks and wind up my sisters and mum and dad. I remember turning the volume slider on the tvs(these were old tvs you could adjust the volume when they were off) up full blast...just waiting for somebody to come and turn them on. Plus there were no remotes for these tvs so you had to be right beside them to turn them on...
Nothing beat running off laughing because everybody was so angry.
Oh and any chance I would get to escape my family I would...I would even run away from the campsites in France really early in the morning when everybody was asleep. Of course the temptation of the massive playground was too much so I was usually found there.
*sighs*

[igot4cheep]

I guess I was norman. Not relly bad but I had my time. I never got caught so every one thought I was good ;)

[affasd]

i was always good i never fought with my parents but i never did my homework and skipped out on school a lot

[weedmaster]

i was a tearaway, the only child to get the cane in my junior school, expelled from 3 differant schools, always in trouble with the pigs, sent to a secure home, then done DC and borstal (juvenille prison). and always use to run away from home from the age of 10.
I am nothing like that now and thankfully my 2 children have been nothing like i was.

[jamstigator]

I was just a standard tyke until I was 4. Then my mom moved out, and another woman with six kids of her own moved in. I felt like they were intruding on 'my' turf, and I rebelled. It didn't help that they were all kinda stupid and mean. From 5 to 12 I lived with my mom, and I was generally a 'good boy' then, as day-to-day survival was really my main concern -- my mom kept marrying vicious drunks who'd beat her nigh to death. One hit me once; I waited until he was sober the next day then walked up to him with a butcher knife in hand and said something along the lines of, 'If you ever EVER hit me again, the next time you pass out, you won't wake up.' I was serious, he saw it in my eyes, and he never hit me again.

At 12, my mom died, and I went to live with my grandma, after a lengthy pseudo-fight between one sister, my brother, and my grandma over who'd 'get me'. My grandma couldn't really handle me. I was, and am, a generally kind person, but school had begun to bore me, so I just stopped going, and grandma called the child services folks on me. As I was 16 by then, they couldn't get me for truancy, so they got me for 'incorrigible'. I went to juvie for a few months, then to a foster family until I was 17, when I joined the Army.

So, I was kinda all over. I had spans of years where I was a pretty darn good boy, I had my survive-whatever-it-takes years, and then I had my rebellious years, though I was never a mean person and no girls ever thought of me as 'the bad boy type' or anything. Overall, I'd say I was pretty good though.

[BlAzInIt4:20]

I was one of the worst childs ever. I started smoking weed at age 9, drinking at age 12. I would leave without saying good bye to mom and be gone for days at a time. I would steal and fight. I would vandalize anything i could. I never went to school i ditched almost every day. My mother did my home work because she didnt want me to get into trouble. After my mother died i turned into a different person and grew up fast. When i see people iv known since i was little they tell me iv grown up to be such a nice caring person. And that i was a little shit head of a head ach as a child... haha

I have the worst karma ever.. it's so bad when bad shit happens to me im able to put my head down and say all well... it's all my karma

[mamma puffpuff420]

no person should ever compare them selves 2 satan
that's terrible
bad, naughty yes
but not like satan
i was a loner, and 2 busy takeing care of myself 2 b bad
so id have 2 say i was a good kid

[twoguysupnorth]

that is a funny story billionfold. it was my little brother not me that did it though. i cant remember exactly what they were picking, radishes, potatoes,or maybe carrots. my brother was "helping" grandpa in the garden and getting a little rowdy by throwing dirt and veggies at him. after the 20th time of telling him "dont throw it" gramps got all pissed off and said"dont you know what dont throw it means?" lol. in his deffence i think he was 3 or 4 at the time.

[FUNKNUGGET]

i just turned 18, but i still feel like a kid


growing up i was satan, just incredibly good at getting away with things :pimp:

[BabyFacedAbortion]

When I was very young I was an amazing kid..very family and school oriented. But around when I hit puberty a lot changed, (not because of puberty lol) and I became a little hell raiser, I was a "punk" and did just about every thing I shouldn't do..smoking, drinking, drugs, sex, sneaking out, got arrested, fought, was disrespectful, failed all my classes, was a little rebel lol..you name it, I did it. By time I turned 16 I mellowed down a lot, but between 12 and 16 were the worst, I did the shit that most kids did in high school and college...in middle school. :wtf::D

[Stealth331]
