I want to be a child again

[Quark]

I'm finding this whole adulthood thing impossible, and I'm bloody 20! Just listening to a song that reminded me of my mother when I was young made me break down. She only lives 20 minutes away but I'm finding living without her so hard. I just wish I could go and live at home and be looked after like a child.

Your age has no implication on how old you are, some young people are actually in there 40s and some older people are still in there teens, im just starting to learn how true this really is.
Im the same age as you and the fact you have even made the transition seems...amazing to me, I can't imagine leaving home, there's nothing wrong with missing her and there's nothing wrong, I don't think, with going home to see her or calling her as much as you want. Parents are important.
You wouldn't believe how child-like I am....and I won't say but then in other ways im older than my years. I guess im saying...there's nothing wrong with how you're feeling, 20 is nothing, my mum speaks to her parents every day and shes 49. Some people are closer to their parents than others, some are young, some are old and some are their perfect age.

I'm 19 years old and I know how u feel. My mom lives 3 states away from me and I hardly talk to her anymore.

My dilemma is slightly different. I'm 38, and long for the safe and nurturing childhood and parents that I never properly had. But never can have. It's too late.
I moved out of my parents home years ago [I think they had more trouble with it than I did..] and have a job and etc. But I struggle daily with this split off self of mine's pull to being a child again.

I'll be 18 in May, and I really miss being a 'child'.
(Although some may class 17 as still a child, I wouldn't).

I don't know, things seem easier when you're little, and sometimes you just have to grow up too fast.
Aimee's right though.

Ring your Mum up and arrange to go round soon :) xx

I want to return to childhood. So bad.

I know the feeling. I want to be looked after like a child as well. Isn't it sad? Growimg up? You know what you need? Some very close friends or a partner to take your mother's place in taking care of you. I think we probably spend our early adulthood trying to find people to continue to take care of us like when we were children and that is ok, just remember not to be greedy and take care of them in return as well.

I have the most loving partner of over 2 years, and he really looks after me, so I don't know why I feel like this.

I know how you feel. I wish i was a kid again, my childhood wasn't great, but its a time where you worry less and feel happiness over the littlest things, i want that back. I find it hard to make decisions and no idea what i'm going to do as in a job ect, i'm at uni but no idea if it's right for me. Im 19 =[

I want to be a child again too =(
I don't understand why everyone is so exciting about growing up, getting a job and driving. It's too much. I'm scared. It doesn't seem fun at all. I still have teddies I sleep with too and I don't care what other people think, I need them.
*hugs everyone*

I know exactly how you feel, although it may seem pathetic considering im only 15. It's the innocence of childhood that we seem to lose. Sometimes i refer to mysel f as a child, because that's just the way i feel. We are all children on the inside.. scared alone, but nonetheless innocent.
