    I had the chicken pox when I was about six years old. I had the shots for it, but that was around when I was three or four. So it wared off. And boy they were itchy. x.x I scratched mostly my shoulders. I wish I didn't do that. Because I heard that the pox will stay if you scratch it. Or you have a scar.

    I was vaccinated for it when I was little, so I've never had chicken pox in my life. Don't you have to go back for another shot once in awhile, too? Well, once you get chicken pox, you never get it again, I've heard.

    I had it when I was really little... I'm going to say before even kindergarten. So, yeah, I don't really remember it, just that I had it.

    True this, but I've read that it can depend on the strain.

    Apparently it's also worse the older the subject, which is why a lot of parents actually want their children to get it; so they won't get it later at an age when it'd actually be harmful.


    I had chicken pox when I was six, and that was the end of that. It wasn't severe, didn't hurt or anything, and left no scarring.
    I had just... five spots? Seriously.

    Actually it is possible to get it twice. Just that the chances are low.

    Here's my story.

    I was the average, Pogeymanz freak 3rd grader, when we were having Physical education, I noticed this big spot on my left Fore-thumb, I was interested in Medicine at that time. I thought it was a mosquito bite and I decided to trick someone.

    So I came up to this dude during free time and said "Hey, I got Chickenpox!"
    He didn't look impressed, he replied "Oh really, does it have a dark spot in the center?"
    "Nope"
    "Does it itch?"
    "Like you can't imagine"

    Next thing I knew, he ran away so fast, he looked like an Olympic Platinum Medaller.

    Later the coach called me in asked if I was scaring kids with chickenpox. I said "No, it's a mosquito bite :3.... I think"

    She then referred me to the nurse just to be sure. Then it turned out I actually HAD chickenpox. Oh the horror, that one a One Weeker.


    3rd grade was my worst year. I got my glasses that year as well.

    I had it when I was 7. I hated it, I remember I had to put some awfully smelling lotion on to prevent me from scratching more. ;W;
    But I haven't got it since then. :D

    I've had the chicken pox when I was three or four, so I don't remember much about it besides the fact that I was covered in white medicine for a few days...

    I think I had them when I was around 3 or 4, all I can remember is my parents giving me an oatmeal bath and they were gone in like a week.
    (Oatmeal bath!? 0_o idk how, but I guess it works)

    I was in 1st grade when I got it. So I was about 6 or 7. And I missed my schools' easter egg hunt cause of it :< I just remember being really itchy, wearing pink stuff and it was like having the flu.

    Oh and btw, I had those shots and mine didn't work :<

    Oh I had it when I was smaller and the doctor told me to stay out of excessive sunlight because it can effects the rate of scarring or something. So in the car home, I was lying all over the seat trying to get away from any beams of light coming through the window. It was quite fun actually.
    Also, the week before I was away with the pox, I had entered a 'Guess How Many Lollies Inside the Jar' competition and I won. So my mum went and got the jar and brought it home for me to eat. Boy, I wasn't alone for my week away from school. My lollies kept me company.

    I've had Chicken Pox, and I've also received preventive medication for it too. So that's it for me. My mom said it wasn't that bad, but I remember being very itchy. XD Around the age of four, too.

    I've never had chicken pox. Maybe it was the million vaccination shots I had to get for it. :x
