No I like being an Adult. Plus, I'd have memories of Sex, cars, drugs and all sorts of adult stuff that I wouldn't be allowed to have or do. It was a pain knowing you had to wait as a child/teen. Having to go through that again, knowing how good these things are, would be like a mental prison!

Meh - it wouldn't be so bad 😉 For me, I would love to not have the responsibility I have now - I loved the feeling of not having a care in the world. Sure their was school, but it would be cake if you did it again. I could spend more time being introspective.

I never had a bad relationship with my parents - never had any real restrictions, no bed time, I basically did what I wanted. I never went throught a rebellious stage with my parents, so I basically spent my childhood exploring things and just doing waht I wanted to do. I loved just riding my bike, and just walking around - of course, living in Panama, there was always something new to see and do.
 
when I was a kid I alway wished I could go back and relive my childhood while retaining all my memories and knowledge

usually after I got in big trouble or did something really stupid 😀

Say in the future there is a way for you to be able to go back and relive your childhood while retaining all of your current memories. Disregard the material aspect of it, such getting rich or trying to be a hero. Would you want to relive your childhood just for the sake of it?

Hmmm, get a second chance to not do the incredibly stupid things I did and properly do what would have benefited me in the short and long term?
 
would i be able to jump back to my current point without any change to it despite the fact that i did thigns differently? my life isn't perfect but i don't know if i would want it to change but if i went back i would def do things differently
 
Knowing what I know now? Sure.

But if I had to do it all again not knowing what I know now, never.
 
Carefree days when Mom and Dad took care of everything? Sure. I love my life now but I had a great childhood. Lots of fun memories from back then.

I'm with you on this one. I also kind of look at it as an opportunity to reap the benefits in competitive situations in which I haven't necessarily come out on top.
 
Hell no. I had the worst childhood I've ever heard of. It's helped me become the person I am, but I would never want to go through it again.
 
if i could go back knowing everything i know now then hell ya. got a long list of people getting kicked in the nuts before i turn 18.
