My pre teens were the BEST years of my life. Iām 24 now but when I was 12-13 I had A LOT of friends, popular on all social media platforms, then I turned 14 and started going to parties. Got into PACHAS nyc club at 13 with a fake ID🤣 Some of my friends were gang bangers (I hung out with older kids) they got into a fight with another gang and they started throwing glass bottles at us! I had to run over glass with my bare feet at a party cause I couldnāt run with heels. I was only a kid, a rebel. Luckily no glass got stuck in my feet by the way. They shot a gun at us too and we were lucky to make it out alive. My friends car window was broken by one of the glass bottles they threw. They aimed it at me! And these were men!! But it missed me and broke my friends window instead. Iām lucky they didnāt drive off without me cause I was the last one behind and I tried to stop the fight. I pretty much avoided parties after that. Iām from NYC.
I was EXTREMELY happy, I played sports too, I was living life so young but it was short lived. I moved away at 15. Too much drama with friends, ended up deleting my social media, had to drop out and get my GED cause I never would go to school, I partied everyday with my friends even during school hours. I became depressed, got addicted to cigs, became a loner which was extremely depressing since I was used to being around people all the time. But I found God, made new friends again at 18 but they were toxic, cut them out. now Iām trying to rediscover myself and find my tribe. Iāve been on my lonely for 6 years now. Iām planning to go away for college with hopes I make the right choices with friends this time around. Life has been really boring lately and I get bored as fuck. I just do school work, go to work and go home. Sometimes I regret not staying home when I was a pre teen cause a lot of problems couldāve been avoided. Likely wouldāve finished school on time and been done with college by now. Most of my childhood friends are moms now and we donāt have much in common anymore. But my pre teens were crazy and my best years so far

Age 4,5,6 where I played the most, had a large friend group who all loved me despite me being a bossy and angry yet a fun brat.
Age 10-13 - Oh my I miss my 5th grade and 2011 was one of the best years, played lots of games, draw, good friends, swimming, role plays, danced, movies, school life and horror shows.
From age 14-20 I was traumatized, terrible things happened. (Grandma passes away, got cheated on, got verbally abused, choose wrong major, hated the world, felt isolated, suic**al)
Age 21- Got back on track, only best part was my fictional character best dream world to get lost with, yet heartbroken that I can't marry him.
Age 22 - Travelled a lot! Struggling with fake people, finishing degree, becoming better and got saved before entering a wrong relationship.
Discovered that I'm talented and made it on the top quickly.
Iām fine with where Iām at. I take wisdom over anything in life. With the right knowledge, life is good. When you have figured out Godās purpose, who you are, etc. Yeah, thatās the best feeling. Itās deep from within. It lasts a long time. Especially if youāve been touched by God.
Sex, drugs, partyingā¦those are all feel good now type things and the high does not last. Its why we become addicts. Iāve lived life through many sets of eyes and am thankful I got to fail many times at a young age.
I have voted A... At that time I was a very naughty boy 😅 I would occasionally do things that my father would not scold me for.
Sometimes I would secretly steal pickles and eat them without my parents knowing. I would go out to play without telling my parents.
When a guest came to our house I would be very happy to think that they must have brought some chocolates.

Back to age 5 and really focus on school when I get into middle school.
5 because I miss being able to do nothing but play.
And all the holidays were so magical.
Spring and summer are still my favorite seasons.
I'd swing on a swing and just daydream. I'd love the rush you get from the speed and motion.
I use to pretend I was a bird or I'd was going to blast off and go into space.
I just missing being creative in a physical way. Maybe I should do local theater but it's not the same as improvised play.
Plus all the good TV shows back then.
I'd just do life the same but focus more on school.As long as I retained all knowledge so far accumulated I'd go back as early as I could and do almost everything differently, especially when it comes to approaching dating. Need the lead up time to change my nature though as I'd still be too set for being nice, safe and dependable.
I'd go back to my pre-teens years. I miss being a dumb and carefree child 🤣
Ps. thank you for reminding me of this song! 😁 It was such a bop (it still is lol).18-20 was honestly awesome. Iād want to return to that and change my college major and career path, however, I wouldn't be able to enter a casino. So I don't know if iād really go back
I'm happiest now. I have wonderful children and a great husband. Though I wouldn't mind changing some things about my country as a whole.
I would probably go to my teens and be my mentor, like teaching the young me what he was supposed to know
I'd go back to when I was 16 years old and make better choices. Between 16 and 21 were some of my best years too.

I would go back to my teens. The world was better and I had a life full of possibilities. I wish I had made different choices back then... 😕😕
DEFINITELY pre-teen. With what I know now I could easily fix a lot of mistakes I've made and enjoy the freedom and childhood I had again. Then when teen years hit I know how to deal with it and don't get all self-conscious and weird (er) again.
I'd like to relive my 20s. I'm not sure I would do anything different, but it would be fun to live them... again.
Iām loving my mid twenties I have money and Iām having responsible fun.
Unless I could go back with the knowledge I have today and the future, I see no reason to go back.
Definitely 20s and go back and sort what I need to sort then come back
16. Ace every test. Ask the girl I liked out, get a headstart on web development and other skills. By the time I hit college, I would major in web development instead of graphic design. I would then move as soon as I graduate. Yes, I planned this.
Until recently, I wouldn't want to go back. But after this economic recession, I want to go back and make different choices.
I like my current age, but it'd be nice to be somewhere between 21 and 25 for an extended holiday weekend once a year. If only possible... 😂
I would not want to be in a constant time loop but 21-23 was a really good time
for me. The older I get , the more responsibilities I take on and it's tiresome.I'd want to be 13 again because that's when I met my best friend plus 7th grade was like a really good year for me
no joke beauty and a beat is my fav song lol listen to this version if u can lol
Probably to my 20s but with the infomration I have now so I can change my life
