Re: What were you like as a child

I was always the "cheeky one" and always in trouble

I wasn't cheeky, just didn't get social norms

Now Im older Im painfully shy and prefer not to be out of my comfort zone

My favourite outfit, although I would have preferred it to have trousers rather than a skirt!

Re: What were you like as a child

I was an unusual child because I didn't enjoy playing with children but loved spending time with adults.
My primary school teacher taught me to play chess and encouraged me to write little plays, which a few of us would act in, while the others watched. ( That made me popular because he would often substitute that play for a Friday afternoon lesson)

At home I would play on my garden swing rather than play with the other kids in the street, but I always had time to chat to elderly neighbours.

Mixing with adults certainly made me confident, and was usually very girlie. Most people, who knew me as a child, thought I behaved like an adult even when at primary school.

The strange thing is that I have never felt that I missed out on anything when I hear others talking about being a child.

Re: What were you like as a child

This reminded me of one of my close friends Son. He was an unusual child never wanted to play with the other kids always preferring to stay in with his own company, learning music and studying. He was always a lovely well mannered boy and has turned out a lovely young man. He was never bullied, the other kids just accepted him for who he was. I remember thinking he will go far and guess what, he has gone far and is up at the top of his profession.

Re: What were you like as a child

I was the opposite Twinks I played with the kids in the street and I was very gregarious... not so much now I learned a few hard lessons and I'm not that trusting little girl anymore.

Re: What were you like as a child

I was a spoilt brat. Ran away from Pre-school, tried to join the Gypsies.
I was a little rascal - Not much changes with me.

Susie I think your mum used to cut your fringe same as my mum did.... hairdressing wasn't her greatest talent

Re: What were you like as a child

Always in trouble, forever breaking the rules...nothing changes!
