Did Anyone Had A Rough Childhood Growing Up??

Answer 1

yes,but i am glad i did because it taught me to believe in myself and made me strong enough to face life on my own.

Answer 2

Boy are YOU gonna get deluged with that query.

I REALLY was a poor black child. But I am going to share just two stories from my youth.

We were so poor that my sister and I used to hide food. When mom got the welfare check at the beginning of the month and did the big grocery run, we would hide sugar and salf and other stuff so we would have food as the month drew to a close.

Well once I found my sisters stash of sugar and put it on my cereal. She let me, knowing it was salt. YECHH!!

Secondly we constantly had to go to Stan's variety on the corner and ask the proprietor for credit until the end of the month when the check came in.

It was tough.

NOW I own my own business. I am somewhat tight with a few things as I remember what it was like to want.

Answer 3

At age 8 I was branded "uncool" in third grade. Through the rest of elementary school I had to put up with brutal "Mean Girls".
At age 9 my aunt, who I was closet to, committed suicide.
At age 10, my parents went through a messy divorce the summer before middle school. All of middle school was a fight to get through each day battling mean girls, hard teachers, the divorce and of course harsh rejections.
At age 13, I got truly rejected for the first time. He was bad, but his cousin was worse. Online she made sport of dissing me on his IM.
At age 14, I became the target of the insults from boys. I became anorexic and lost all passion for the arts, friends or anything except straight A's and thinness.
At age 15, I spent my summer and 80% of my Sophomore year in treatment against my will. When I got back to school feeling happy, better and eating, girls and guys still found ways to drag my eating disorder into every negative light. Especially now that most girls had boyfriends. Their excuse for me was "She's too skinny to have a boyfriend."

But now I am happy I went through $hit to make me stronger. I beat an illness, I said screw you to the mean girls. I found myself and my passion again.

Childhood is over...it was a lesson I'm glad I learned early.
