30 minutes to midnight, and I turn 18. An adult. I used to look forward to growing up until half an hour before I am. What the fuck was I thinking. Anyone else here who got this? I just want to be a child again? Would you rather be an ignorant child blissfully unaware of lifes sufferings, or an adult?

I'm 19 right now, but if I had the option of turning into a child only once, I'd want to use it when I'm like 60 to get the maximum benefit out of it.

And yes, as you say, ignorance is bliss. Life was so easy back then, all I did was worry about getting that star in SM64, or knocking my friends out in SSB :D

No way. I've gathered so much knowledge about that world that I'm unwilling to throw it away in order to live an ignorant life without worries.

I'd rather be an adult. I only have to wait 10 days. Yay.

I want to say that I'd like to be a kid again, so badly...

Maybe if I had rich parents that gave me whatever I wanted or something. It's too nice to buy whatever game I want, whenever I want.

I'm 19 atm, happy being this age.

Wouldn't want to be a kid again because I would have to go back to compulsory school. Which is the biggest bore ever. I enjoy college too much.

Whats my age again? WHERE IS MY ASIAN FRIEND!!!!!!!

Probably stay as i am, despite it sucking..working, going to college, doing adult-things IS fun. Perhaps not as fun as buying that game you were waiting for or finding an xbox 360 under the christmas tree but it also has it's upsides.

Don't worry, becoming 18 doesn't have much to do with becoming an adult ;)
I wouldn't really want to be a child, it wasn't very fun. I prefer now.

I don't like little kids, so I wouldn't want to be one. As for the blissful ignorance, nothing is worse than doing something wrong because you didn't know it was wrong or as parents say "He/She doesn't know any better" that single line has pissed me off so many times.

The past isn't as great as you think and the future isn't as bad as it seems. While at times we might truly want to, we can not redo. To achieve a better life, our best option is to learn from our mistakes, enjoy today, and make preparations for a better tomorrow.

Yes, I definitely agree with this. I feel like I've achieved a greater understanding and appreciation of adults and kids. I can't say the same for being old though. It just seems really sucky, so I plan to live while I can still walk on my own;)

Biggest lie ever...18 ≠ Adult...

But: I would like to stay in the 17-19 range if possible, because people don't judge me because I do childish stuff like playing games, watching anime etc.

Can't blame you. Back when you were child, parents would forbid you to do some stuff you wanted to do and you probably thought, when I'll grow up, I'll do whatever the sh*t I want to. But now that you grew up, you realize, it was much better as a child, back when you had no responsibilities (at least, not much of them) and all you had to do was play. I personally don't really care about my age, all I want it to have nothing to do for the rest of my life.

Wait, are you asking if we'd rather be a child again with no memories of our pubescent/adulthood, or be a child with our memories intact? Because no matter what hardships I've been through, I'd never want to lose my memories as I'd feel I wouldn't be myself any more, although if I could pick and choose what memories I lose, that'd be nice.

Hmmm.... This seems like a convenient excuse to form a loli harem. I won't stop you OP, in fact I'm right behind you with the support, but we'll need to be careful. Every time I come up with these schemes and think I'm in the clea---*door bashes in* UUGH Every freaking time!

Chris Hanson: "Well, well, well DarkLord, I'm impressed you managed to escape Guantanamo by using your charms on the prison guards, but it looks like you've finally given away your location again."

DarkLord: "Look, Chris at this point I think we both know, I won't struggle so just put those things away, and.... RUN LOLI_SENSEI, Ulqiorra1923!" *Presses hidden button to destroy building* *as everyone's rushing for the exit Loli_Sensei trips*

Ulqiorra1923: "LOLI_SENSEI!!!!" *DarkLord turns back and throws Loli_Sensei out of opening before the building collapses.*

Chris Hanson: "It seems, I've lost a valuable source of information, but I guess it can't be helped."

DarkLord: *from beneath the rubble* "Are you both okay? Loli_Sensei.....Ulquiorra1923....?

Loli_Sensei: "DARKLORD!" *rushes to help, by attempting to push the rubble aside"

DarkLord: "It's okay Loli_Sensei....I don't think, I'm going to make it....my right side is totally crushed....I can't even feel anything."*coughs up blood*

Ulqiorra1923: "No...this can't be....DarkLord..."*struggles to hold back the tears*

Loli_Sensei: "Dammit.....If only I had listened to you, and we used a VAN to torrent from the beginning.... this never would have happened!" "So what if I'm a 2nd year film studies student?!" "So what if I'm turning 18 in half an hour?!"

DarkLord: "Oh yeah....I had forgotten....I was the only one who didn't give you a gift for turning 18 Loli_Sensei..." "I was wondering what to give you...and I just had a thought." *Laughs* "Don't worry, It's not some useless extra baggage...I'm giving you.....My blu-ray director's cut of Kodomo no Jikan with Seiyuu commentary" "No matter what the haters on MAL say, you are a great lolicon....that's what I believe....so please accept it..."

DarkLord: "Ulquiorra1923 use your amazon.jp account to cover the shipping costs for transporting my box set..."

Ulqiorra1923: "Loli_Sensei come here right now, I need to write down your mailing address!"

DarkLord: "I'm about to die....but I'll become your otaku spirit... and watch all of the garbage series out there for you."
*Loli_Sensei rises from the rubble to battle Chris Hanson*

Chris Hanson: "That guy...he seems different from before."

DarkLord: "Loli_Sensei....Take care of Ulqiorra1923 for me...."
*Loli_Sensei draws his taser of a thousand bird songs, and Chris Hanson falls to the ground*

DarkLord: "Loli_Sensei...take Ulqiorra1923, and get out of here.... more agents will be coming soon...." *Looks into Ulqiorra1923's eyes* "It's okay just go..."*Sirens in the distance* "GO!!" *Loli_Sensei grabs Ulqiorra1923's hand, and pulls him out just before the structure collapses*

DarkLord(Thoughts): "Just when Loli_Sensei, and I were starting to get along...." "I couldn't tell Ulqiorra1923....that I used his credit card to sign up for a year long subscription to Crunchyroll...." "I wish I could have spent more time....downloading loli VN's...."

*Loli_Sensei and Ulqiorra1923 are surrounded*
Loli_Sensei: "Dammit....I'll fight them off with the spirit you have left inside me."

Agent: "Hmm... You still have the will to fight back, no wonder you were able to download so much without our detection....

Loli_Sensei: "Ulqiorra1923! I'll hold them off, get out of here now!
Ulqiorra1923: "But..."
Loli_Sensei: "I promised DarkLord, I'd look after you....So I'll protect you even if it lands me in Guantanamo!"
Ulqiorra1923: "Loli_Sensei....."
Loli_Sensei: "Ulqiorra1923....DarkLord cared about you....You were his bro... that's why he gave his life so you could watch more loli...."
Ulqiorra1923: "Then Loli_Sensei! You should know how I feel about you...."
Loli_Sensei: "I.....I used your credit card to pay for a premium brazzers account....I'm nothing but scum." "GO, ULQIORRA1923! *Agents close in*

I did at one point. I still think about it when times get rough/stressful but I wouldn't actually do it if I had the chance. I'm content the way my life is.

If I could retain my knowledge... maybe a different story. I'd have so much fun with that
