Im a teenager and is is normal for me to miss my past?

Question

I feel depressed sometimes because my childhood was fun and now its less fun. Is is normal for me to miss my childhood or past?

Answer 1

It's probably not that usual to miss it at your age because there is a lot of fun to be had as a teenager, at least there was in my day (but they were more innocent times back then).  I certainly miss it now that I am in my sixties and would love to be reliving it.  I suppose you must have had a very happy childhood and should try to be grateful for that because a lot of children don't.  I hope you find some new ways to have fun without getting into trouble.

Answer 2

i think it is normal for a teenager to miss their past, i do. I mean when your a child, things seem less complicated. Your only taught what u need to need about things.People are less judgemental when they younger, and people are less likely classed based on their wealth or education and stuff. Basically you just don't give a sh*t when your a child, you just enjoy.

Answer 3

Yes its perfectly normal, we all miss parts of our past. When your a child things are so much easier and you have no worries, they come with growing up....

Answer 4

yeah its ok

Answer 5

It's normal, it's called nostalgia.  Maybe I spelt it wrong.  Most teenagers feel this.  If you know my group of friends, we're all "If only it we were young again."  Everything seemed magical when your a child, doesn't it?  

Answer 6

Its normal for a teenager to feel that way.  Chalk it up to changing hormones and try to have some fun.

Answer 7

i miss it every day of my life.

i mean, good things have happened since then, but i really miss all of my friends that i lost in that junior high/high school transition.

that and being a little kid.

you're not alone.

Answer 8

Perfectly normal.   But there are great years ahead of you too.

Enjoy both the past memories and future anticipation.

Answer 9

Very normal indeed. I miss being 8 years old and carefree. I think a lot of people do, so you have nothing to worry about =)

Answer 10

You will move through many stages and experiences in your life...all of which will pass into your own history...much of it will never leave you for as long as you live. Embrace what is to come...live learn and remember, then store it all with your memories and take them out from time to time, then put them back where they belong...in the past.......x

Answer 11

Yes, it is normal. I know a lot of people who some times get with their friends an say to each other "Hey, do remember when _____ ".  Some even eat certain foods, or do certain activities that they associate with their childhood. Now I am not saying to dress up like a Power Ranger an go play in the  yard. But maybe doing something that you use to, that is still age appropriate. Or ask a friend "Hey do you remember when_____".
