Answer 1

Answer 2

No nobody died, I was 8 and was evacuated away from my mum and family at the start of WW2, to a little village,only a hamlet really,in South Wales.I came from a London suburb with a modern house with inside toilet and bathroom and it was a wrench to have to use an outdoor privy.What upset me most was not long after I got there I somehow caught chicken pox.As there were other children in the household I was isolated from them and had to spend nearly 4 weeks in a cupboard under the stairs on my own in the dark,there was no light in there,with a potty. The door was opened to give me my meals then closed again.I had a basin to have a wash once a day. It was like being in prison.Eventually someone from the school in the next village called to see how I was and insisted that I was moved straight away. By this time I was not considered as being infectious so went back to a bedroom with two other boys.I don't ever remember being more miserable.

Answer 3

Being bullied. It's one of the worst things that anyone can go through and it makes me very angry. I go through it everyday when I'm at school. I've been bullied for 2 and a half years now. The thing that I find so ironic is that I somehow managed to become more confident and now I stand up to the bullies and confront them. I even fight them sometimes. The bullies want a reaction from me and please believe me, I tried ignoring and walking away from them as far away as possible and keeping away, but they will always come back for more. They are jealous of me, and so damn insecure. Now I will keep on fighting until they understand that what they are doing is wrong. I will f****** beat the crap and s*** and the no good out of them and knock some sense into those f****** c****. So I will get them and when I do, let's just hope that I'm the last person they'll bully and hurt.

Answer 4

Years of mental abuse at the hands of my Dad. Being bullied from the ages of 5 - 12. Learning that the only reason my parents had my little brother was because my Dad wanted a boy. (I felt really unwanted then and still do to this day.) My mum trying to choke me when I was 8. My Granddad dying when I was 9. Atempting suicide when I was 12 and again when I was 14.

My childhood was a barrel of laughs.

Answer 5

Actually, my early childhood wasn't that bad.
It was when I started getting old enough to realise things and make sense of my observations, that some things started to suck big time coz then you don't have that innocence to protect you and you are too 'old' to continue believing adults lies.
One vivid memory though, is my mom telling me that my beloved pet, companion Jack Russel had been in an accident and was 'in hospital'. (I was a bout 3or 4 at the time) and for a long time kept asking and hoping for his return. It was a while later that I learnt the truth and could only grieve then. The thought still makes me sad, I'm 31 now.

Answer 6

One of my unhappiest memories was being molested by a relative from age 7 to 9 and then having to go for months and months down to the police department everyday-to help them build a case against him. Probably the worst thing ever was when my brother died at the age of 18. I was 20 though so that would be the worst memory of my adult life.

Sorry, you asked.

Answer 7

My unhappiest memory as a child was having my mum die in my arms on Christmas Day 1998. I was 14 at the time. My step father told me not to cry - he abused me both mentally and sexually from the age of 5 until I was 16. It was when I was 19 when he attempted to kill me that I finally got away from him. :o( :o(

Answer 8

oh geez, there are so many of them, one of them being that I got picked on a lot, bullied, whatever by a group of kids on my neighborhood, for some reason there were always about 4 or five of them and always it seemed only one of me, and they would always pick on me bully me push me around and hit me until they got me to cry, what a shame I moved so far away from there and don't get back there much now, I stand 6'6 and weigh in at about 240 and would glady love to see anyone of them or all of them at the same time, that and I had petite mal seizures as well and well there were a lot of kids in school that just had to be mean and rude and tease me about that as well, that and my dogs dying as well really sucked, and now that I have read so many of these others maybe I really didn't have it so bad after all, I guess it could have been a lot worse

Answer 9

My Nana passed away from cancer. What upset me was my sister was pregnant at the time and my nan wanted so much to be around when my nephew was born. But she died 3 months before he was born. My nephews eight now but i still get upset cause she would of loved him to pieces.

Answer 10

My saddest childhood memory is being sexually abused by a family friend. I was abused for 14 months back in 1973 -1974.

Answer 11

My best friend and I gave eachother gifts for Christmas but instead of giving me a real gift he gave me some kind of little girl dressup kit as a joke and no real present. I don't remember what I have him. He waited until we were in the halls to give it to me where everybody saw it and pointed and laughed at me. It really upset me. We weren't friends after that.
