Top 10 Things That You'll Miss When Your Childhood Ends

Every year, nearly all of my friends disappear and get replaced by random people, leaving me feeling like a complete stranger at first. It's February now, and I do have some friends, but I don't have a best friend. I just feel very different from everyone.
I don't think I'll lose my friends when I'm older, but I won't be able to see them as often, and I'll miss hanging out with them.
I am 21 years old today, and I still wish I could play with my friends.

I'm about to go to university in a few months, and I can clearly remember when I first started preschool. I'm also pretty young at heart. School is much better compared to university. In school, there is less homework and some fun field trips. Preschool, however, is even better than school. There is no homework, no real work - just playing, drawing, doing arts and crafts, singing, napping, and eating snacks, and it's only half a day. I really wish I had a time machine to go back to the good old days.
This is true. I know a lot of people don't really like school, but I do, and I don't mind it. I will miss my friends and teachers when I have to leave.

I can't stress enough how much I miss being so worry-free. Believe me, kids, you'll lose the freedom you have now. Embrace it while you can.
Who even likes stress? It's not fun. It's awful and horrible. It negatively impacts our health and well-being. It negatively affects life.
We had a lot less stress as kids, and we were just happy and healthy, having fun. But now, since middle school, I've been dealing with a lot of problems, like being overscheduled.

I find it quite disappointing that there are absolutely no subjects that use imagination anymore. It's all just memorizing stuff.

Since I turned 13, I stopped having birthday parties because I lost interest. But something even better replaced them - I now get to do a lot of fun things in Dallas for my birthday, like going to a basketball game or getting a new guitar, instead of having a normal, school-related day. I can't wait for my birthday in two months.
Damn, I sure miss my birthday parties.
I had birthday parties as a kid. My last one was in 2012 when I turned 13. I miss them sometimes.

Yes! Homework is so hard now, especially math!
Dear Naptime, I am so sorry that I betrayed you. Please come back. I wouldn't sleep in Pre-K, but I'd love a nap nowadays.
Can you please allow nap time in nursery or even reception in Britain?
I'm a teen, and I already miss nap time.

Remember when you didn't know anything about sex? Good times.

This is the only thing on this list I want back. Snack time was amazing.
Snack time in elementary school... Apart from the "no junk food" rule, it was great.
The Newcomers

I remember my first crush in grade 2 or something. I miss seeing her sometimes.

As an avid lover of Halloween and all things scary, I can honestly say that missing out on trick-or-treating every October 31st makes me feel a little depressed.
I'm just hoping to stay five-foot-two well into adulthood and still be able to trick-or-treat with a mask.
I miss trick-or-treating, even though my overprotective parents always went with me.
Yes! The good thing is that I still have a few!

From Kindergarten to 3rd Grade, I had around 30 to 40 minutes of recess a day.
In 4th and 5th Grade, it went down to 20 minutes.
In 6th grade, it was reduced to 10 minutes.
By 7th grade, lunch became the new recess.
Now I get in trouble for everything I do wrong.
As a kid, everyone did things for me. Now I have to work hard for my own needs.

I used to enjoy playing Halo Reach all the time, but not anymore.
All those times playing Melee.
I miss playing PS3 online with two of my friends from school. Eventually, they logged out and never logged in again.
Goodbye Hercules: The Animated Series and House of Mouse. It's a good thing I can still watch them on YouTube.
Goodbye Dora, Ben 10, Rugrats, and Foster's Home.
It's great that Sesame Street and Teletubbies are still going.


We don't really laugh at everything anymore, but I do grin and even laugh sometimes when I watch something.

Or my favorite - throwing temper tantrums! And not getting arrested or being told, You're not allowed to do that, or You can't come back to society!
This is the only one I agree with here. I'm 15, and this is the time of my life when I can do whatever I want, even if someone tries to stop me.
