text: naivety  versus experience - the best childhood? i suppose i had a fairly a-typical childhood for our day and age. i was a real tomboy and i spent summers outside making dens and having 'adventures' with my friends. a friend i met recently had a totally different childhood, and spent her years wanting to be and acting older. she wore makeup at 9, heels at 10, got a boyfriend at 11, first went clubbing at 13 and lost her virginity at 15.  i wore makeup at 13, heels at 15, got a boyfriend at 16 and don't go clubbing much even now.   we got to talking about our childhoods, and my friend says she really regrets trying to grow up too fast. she feels that she has lost her childhood. however, she is much more street-smart than me and has got me out of a number of sticky situations. myself, i find that my childhood did not prepare me for the adult world. i don't often feel safe doing these more "grown-up" things and i often wish i was a child again just so that i wouldn't have to cope with it. which of us do you think got the better deal? i think your friend loose her childhood because she didn't feel fun when she's still young................like...........me...but your friend when she's still 11 she got her boyfriend so fast and it's kinda not allowed to the rules of childhood because she can get fertility and when she get pregnant on the age of 11 oh no ! pray her prayers ! and for i were you i will not act like a child anymore because you can be tease as a infantile,childish and ignorant etc. you will just be feel tormented act like a mature and care for your younger brother ! me im still 10 years old but im so mature !
