when people say that they miss their childhood it just means they never experienced anything bad in their childhood. it just means they never thought about the future and were never talked down by adults and told constantly their lives are hell and you should be glad your a child. i used to envy those people but... maybe its better to know and to not go into adulthood unaware of what is going to happen. i just wish that the adults in my life knew that you should never ever tell children that their lives turned out terrible. because the only thing that does is make them think that its the kids fault, somehow.

i don't think that's necessarily true; i think far more often time, or "nostalgia," distorts peoples' memory and they just don't remember things wholly. they don't really want all of childhood back, they want what's in those nice pleasant fuzzy comforting memories. and some people have more of those than others. (and of course, people can want things that aren't perfect or entirely good, anyway) i remember going from elementary school to middle school (/primary -> secondary) and telling myself not to forget my suffering and yearn for those years when i'm older. Because yeah people treat kids like shit. I've thought about it a lot more than I did when I was little because I have more perspective now, but childhood was constantly having things done to me and having nothing explained to me, pushed around whirled around. People can be so devoid of sympathy with children. How much i was chastised despite what a good weak-willed rule follower i had every intent to be. I wish people wouldn't forget what it's like to be a kid. I certainly don't think of myself as "good with children" but I'll always respect them and treat them with compassion
woah this is what they call yap city
