Would you want to live thru childhood again?

yes please.
and i'd probably have twice as much fun- had no idea back then what you could get away with just for being a kid

I wouldn't want to relive my childhood or my early teen years, but if I could go back and change things, then I would. There were quite a few mistakes I made and opportunities I didn't take that I would change with the knowledge that I have now and that I didn't have then. I would make things more enjoyable for myself, basically; then, I could actually enjoy being a kid.

No. I've thought about this before and the absolute earliest I would go back to is when I was 16 and right after I got out of reform school.

I hated school the first time around and never want to do that again.

No, I would not. I admit there are things I miss about being a child, but I am a firm believer in moving forward. Always.

I initially said NO! but then I thought of all the people I could see again who are now dead.(including my mother)so Yes I would.

Ultimately, yes, if I could still know what I know now, and change things.

:(

So why don't you? Not forever, but just for a week or 2? If I got the chance to do something like that, I would take it with no reservations. To not have to worry about how much money you'll have for your next big investment, to not have to conform to anyone else's rules, to greatest and strangest thoughts for hours at a time... I would never be the same after that.

NO, I would definitely not want to live through that hell again.

If I could have a more normal feeling childhood than likely I would. I felt I missed too much of the things you need to know for one. Also, I would hopefully position myself a little better to give myself a little easier time of it as an adult. I would also like to run amok and have that freedom again without having to worry about drawing icy stares.

My god, no.

I would love to be a child again. One of the reasons why I got into my latest special interest is probably because of the part of my personality that balks at adulthood.

Definitely. Then I'd have an excuse for acting immature all the time

^This.

Reliving my childhood with the knowledge I have now would have saved me from all of the bullying and torment as I would know the appropriate ways to act around people. I would have actually leared how to make friends at an appropriate age, rather than learning it all around the ages of 16-20 and feeling like a loser for doing so. I also would have learned how to regulate my sensory issues so that I wouldn't have had meltdowns and tantrums every day,

If I lived my childhood in this generation, the so called "professionals" would have done a better job at helping me due to the sharp increase in services for children with ASDs. When I was going through school, no one knew what Asperger's was, and just thought I was a manipulative little brat.

Only if I could retain all of the knowledge and memories that I have accumulated so far.

Freak ya!

I had a best friend, nice teachers, a cool school. I didn't care what people thought about me, I made friends with some amazing people, and I lived life 100% I was skinny, and I had a high metabolism as well. I would give anything for a redo (and a potential warning about my 7th grade year) of my childhood.
