What was it like growing up?

growing up in south london was very cool now im a father of 4 i love my kids earn loads of money smoke loads of top bud wear all the best clothes have a nice house,BUT life feels like shit now theys so much bullshit in adault life it sucks big time

carefree... we could stay out late as hell at night playing in the street not have to worry, bills were paid always, there was always food, plenty to do outside and plenty of friends to do it with... adventures around every corner... til about 11-12... then we went bankrupt, hardly any food around, not having my parents (grandparents raised me) started hitting hard, leaving me to believe they never wanted me and causing me alot fo pain, which resulted in severe depression, and withdrawing from society all together, leaving me with many bullies at school (since they just love to pick on the weak and people who won't fight back) and ultimately resulting in me completely throwing away my education (not going to school, ever... i was literally there like half a year) just to avoid all the hell i got when i was there... eventually getting homeschooling and ultimately being screwed as my homeschooling program (Which i found out far later) wasn't reconized by the state of tx meaning all that workw as for nothing....

this is also the sugar coated version complete with sprinkles, whip cream and a cherry.

childhood was good and also shitty sometimes. my stepmom was super strict and usually a bitch but not always. i had thousand of acres of state forest to play in which was good but i was terribly sheltered other than that.not allowed but i did. no smoking, no rock music, very few friends get to stay here, no girlfriends, no no no .... got into trouble as a teen but nothing too bad. i enjoy being an adult more than a kid too, though sometimes it gets to be a drag. i guess that is just the way it is.

My life was kinda wack...
My mom cared for me and still does alot but she still let me get away with alot of shit. I stayed out almost everynight and was barely ever home, usually smoking bud and partying. I fought alot and gained alot of street cred due to the fact that i didnt take shit from people. I grew up now but life was good back then!
