A decade ago

Lesse, ten years ago I was probably making a wish list for my 11th birthday in September. I was probably sad that school was getting close to starting again, playing all the Gen III games and was totally unaware of the hell that awaited me in 6th grade.
 
I was 11, so I was a horrendous, snotty, annoying child.

Looking back as an adult, I can only imagine how horrifically irritating I was.

I was a horrible little kid who never listened to teachers, and got themselves suspended all the damn time when I was 6. That's all I remember about my life when I was that old.

I got suspended at that age for kicking the teacher and saying "you're still in the ****ing blue book Keelen".

Yeah that was my frustration with my peers at that age, mhmm

Well, I've long since been keeping my hands to myself, but the frustration remains.

It also may have been a different dynamic then as I was sky high above my peers academically while half my class got held back. I was reading at a middle school level and was pissed at the notion of circle time and other kindergarten ****, so I imagine those were also factors that aren't so present now. :e
 
When I was 12, I was a bratty, annoying kid who still had temper-tantrums. And I mean, really big ones. I'd have these fits of rage where I stomp around throw things. I stormed out of class multiple times , and was sent home on various occasions. This kind of stuff went on until I was about 16, then I realized how immature it was for someone my age to be getting that angry over nothing. I remember one time I was so angry , that I made a school's pastor chase me around the entire school. He had to put me in chokehold to get me to calm down, and then sent me home almost right away. I really was a stubborn kid, who felt he needed to get his way all the time. Granted, I still get angry now and have small fits ever now and then, they're usually calmer and happen less often. I think getting angry is just a human thing, be we learn to control it as we get older. When learn when getting angry and raging is appropriate.

Twelve was around the time when I started to form my online life a bit more. I began being involved in chat rooms and made a good friend online. It was also when I started listening to more "adult" pop-radio and dwindled away from Radio Disney. I became a big pop music junkie.

I think I'm probably about the same as I was when I was 15, but maybe a bit more personable? Hopefully

Much more personable. ;)

I think I'm sort of the same. Obviously more mature, but overall I've become more of who I want to be than I was then. But considering I was only a kid and now I'm all grown up, it makes sense that I feel this way. I would say that there are things I want to change still, but hey...that's what life is all about.
 
lil 10 year old me

I was in the 4th grade and had a teacher I hated. On our first day of school she asked us to guess her age and I said 62. She was 28. From that day on she never liked me and that gives you an example of what I was like a decade ago the end.
 
Six Years Old. I didn't really care about anything, and I got in trouble a lot. almost every day my teacher sent a note home to my mother about my awful behavior. it got so bad that my mom had to tell me that I'd only be able to play FireRed after school if I didn't get a note sent home. that didn't stop me in the end; what did was moving to a different school so I was too scared to talk. that's not why we moved schools though and overall I'm very, very glad that we did.

Holy ****, ten years ago... I would have been going into eighth grade, about 14.

Actually, it's really cool this thread came up. Around this time a decade ago my mom had cancer, and the ten year anniversary of her surgery to have it removed is quite literally this Monday. So yeah, it was a bit of a hard time.

Back then I was going through my grumpy teenager age. We don't talk about it much. It was listening to a lot of Green Day and Metallica and just being a teenager. That's the year I started volunteering too, at nursing homes and pet shelters, etc.
 
When I was 5, I remember being a bratty lil' selfish *****. I always got my way. Ugh.
 
Hmmm, I dunno, I was only 5.

I remember being quite immature, and optimistic, but I have obviously changed a lot over the years. I'm more of a mature, realistic person now.
 
daigonite at 11 years old?

Ultimate Sperglord. I basically was the archetype. If you talked to me, you got a lecture on my favourite pokemon. But I was extremely talented at playing guitar. It lead to many humorous situations that my family and I still joke about to this day. I had no idea how to interact with people but I loved talking so I was basically the ultimate pokenerd. I didn't have any friends but I gave 0 ****s about that because my true waifu was pokemon silver

I'm much better these days but it still shows off. lmao

Physically, I barely changed at all outside of height. I can still fit into my old clothes.
 
10 years ago I was quite,kept to myself and angry now I am loud, keep to myself and angry.
 
I was a freshman in high school. Wow I can't believe it's been that long. 14 years old, made 1st chair trumpet in marching band, got picked on by the seniors who couldn't play as good as me. I was mostly quiet, except when it was just my friends and me. Played a ton of Pokemon and Final Fantasy. LARPed with my close friends with weapons we made from wooden dowels, cardboard, and duct tape, something we still do actually. The quality of the weapons has gone up, but we also hit a lot harder haha. I feel old.
 
Hm, summer/fall of 2004 I was 11, almost 12 so I was in seventh grade. At this point in time I had just moved to New Jersey and didn't know anyone. Sixth grade had been kind of rough friend-wise and I didn't know many people at my school so I bet I wasn't particularly psyched for the rest of middle school. I hated everything fashionable and wore muumuus to school because they were comfortable and I had just begun to be a smartass to people. Just before seventh grade started the curriculum hadn't yet caught up with my intelligence so school was boring, and wouldn't really start holding any interest until the final years of high school so that was a long way off. I wanted to be an author and computer programming wasn't even on my radar. I was probably super into Neopets because I remember one of my usernames having 2003 in it. I had AOL and my username was catluv2004 and I liked to chat.

I was a boring kid.
