Do you miss being a kid more than you like being an adult?

[ghostqueen]

Yes

No

[AndreasM96]

When I put them on a scale, I think mostly not. I mean, as adults, we do have many responsibilities and problems, but on the other hand there's this nice taste of freedom, I can quit whenever I want, I can do whatever I want, go home whenever I want, etc.. and most importantly, being able to help the ones you love, in any way. For me that's a great feeling.

[legalboxers]

hated childhood.. I hate adulthood even more.

In some ways yes, the upside of being a kid is no stress/problems. You don't have to worry about work or paying bills. Your completely clueless about what's going on in society and the world, and all the awful things that happen in it. You get to play with your friends, pets, or play videos games. Your not worried about your looks, and not being perceived as unattractive, stupid, boring, etc.. Your also don't care about the opposite sex nor trying to gain their affection or a relationship. When you're a teenager, some of those things change, you do start noticing the opposite sex, and you do eventually get a job but still don't have to take on the full responsibilities of an adult yet.

The upside to being adult is you no longer have to worry about high school, cliques, who's popular and who's not. You get to go out whenever you want without parental permission, you don't have to ask for an allowance or have mom or dad nag you about what you buy, you have your own space, no need to sneak that girl or boy around or in and out the house, you won't hear "turn that crap music down!". Old enough to travel alone, go into certain clubs or bars etc.

[BrittBratt2416]

For me personally, i don't feel to much of a difference in my life even as an adult now. Life was good but also pretty normal/bland for me as a kid/teenager. I wasn't super popular or well known, i had some friends back then but not a lot or friends that stuck it all the way through high school. Most summers i was just at home watching golden girls, and even now as adult the only people i really hang out with around my age is fiancee. I do get along with my co-workers but we don't really hang out cause people are just too tired, have kids, or simply see hanging out as too much effort/a choir. So honestly, I rather just stay an adult.

[BrittBratt2416]

interesting most of the girls said yes, but guys said no lol

[BrittBratt2416]

It really just depends on the person life and what they been through. For some people, childhood and teenagers years were a blast and their peak, for others it was their night mare. Same applies with adulthood.

[Bensbrie]

I dont know. I wouldn't want to be a kid again, and yet I like acting like a kid at times and having fun. I dont want to be old, but if I was a kid I wouldn't have had all the wonderful experiences that I've had and I would have to go through the same battles again. And while those battles shaped me, I dont want to endure them again. I'm married now and I have college and while it is harder and I'm certainly more tired at times, I'm happy and content with what I have at this stage in my life. I'm blessed and I wouldn't trade that for my youth again, even though I'm still pretty young lol.

[JakeReeves]

Of course! No responsibilities, no sexual thoughts, less homeworks for school, more fun, more energetic, more pure-hearted, more innocent, no psychological disorders, better mental health, and the only thing you think about is playing and having fun.
When i was a child, i didn't know that the world is so dark and awful and full of bad people and problems, so my life was a lot better than now.

[LoU_Hades]

My childhood wasn't that good. Not because my parents are bad or other kids mocked me. We just moved from one city to another all few months and I visited lot schools and kindergarten until I became 15.
With 15 my parents moved from Germany to Poland and I had to learn a very difficult language that I didn't speak very well. It was a lot of stress that I had as child because of permanently changing environment.
I don't miss my childhood at all.

[ArianaAlazay]

I simply miss being a kid because when you are that age you think that you’re life is so hard and that everything will be sooooo much easier once you are as old as “Sharpay Evans” , but you never think about bills, heartbreak , death , a kid just has so much hope and love inside of them and they are so open minded , it truly is beautiful

[hotstuff76]

Being either a child or adult... both has its pros and cons..
I like the idea of being unaware of the bad people in this world and innocence is sometimes bliss

but at the same time I lie being independent as a adult and being able to do some things I could never do as a child such as to go and volunteer in foreign lands in the future!

[Emmalouise03]

I miss kindergarten, but at the same time when ur a little kid ur stuck, u can't make ur own decisions and u will experience hell a few years away. Sorry i mean middleschool and all of that shit, then you become depressed, get some kind of disorder, maybe bullied, who knows? And ur just waiting years for freedom, so u can escape
Maybe i like becoming an adult, even tho there will be more responsibilites to have👀

[Anonymous]

I miss certain aspects of it, but despite all the bills, and headaches that come with being an adult, I appreciate the freedom to navigate my own life. Good or bad, you're truly making your own choices and steering your life in certain directions that you might never have with someone else guiding your life all the time as a kid.

[DamnCurtis]

Yeah a little bit.

Life was a lot simpler.
Yes in some ways you have less freedom but honestly the main two authorities school and parents treated be just fine.
The freedoms and resources that I now have as an adult aren’t as satisfying as that are on paper.

[ThisAndThat]

I do but it's mostly because I missed those I love that are no longer here that were here when I was a kid. And things were so simple then. What I really miss now is not what I miss but what I missed and that's having children of my own. That one is really a hard hurdle that I don't think I'll ever get over, I know I won't in fact.

[1truekhaleesi]

No! I was painfully shy as a kid, struggled to make friends, and depression and anxiety has always been an issue. I didn’t find true friends until my early 20s, I am old enough to take anti-depressants, and I am much less shy.

[Babygirl_S]

Yes because kids don't know the reality of so many things. They live in their own imaginary world.
I miss playing with dolls and watching my favourite cartoons.
There are many reasons why kids laugh a lot more than adults. Also, people are usually very nice to kids.

[Adam1978]

I don't think kids should rush to grow up. Because of all adult responsibilities, but in the end when those are done I can be an adult version of me as a child, and I can afford the toys I could only dream of as a kid. So no reason to envy childhood.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Despite having a childhood filled with joyous fun-filled memories, I'm enjoying my adult life much much more. Besides, even at my "ripe" age, I always carry around a youthful spirit.

:) Young at heart. <3

[beebella]

Yeah, this shit is not as fun as I expected it to be.

[joyboy12]

No because what I hated as a kid was being fucking to do and adults literally demand you to be ordered around. Like back when I was a kid id be scared to do or some say some things but now I got more freedom

[shimmeryns]

Maybe as a teenager I would miss being a kid. But as an adult now with all the freedom that I have, I don't miss being a kid.

[Rafaela123]

I prefer adult life because I am free to make my own decision. As a kid, life was much more difficult... Bullying and all those stuff... I was scared.

[eshedd]

Fuck no! I like not treated liked shit and bullied everyday, I can actually do what I want now that I’m an adult

[retlaw0311]

As a kid, i really thought quicksand would have more of an impact on life...
