    Anyone feel like they were exposed to the real world too young? I found out about Rape, LGBT, sex, drugs, divorce, bullying, ect. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY too young. I am 14 and I have gone through so much already. My life was turned upside down at 3 like whatt. Can anyone else relate?

    I can relate to that I guess. Even if my parents didn't divorce and noone around does drugs (appart from some classmates smoking weed whom I don't count) I was confronted with the other things between 9 and 13 too. So, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here :slight_smile:

    Yeah, for some things, I get what you mean. I've never had a "happy family" kind of homelife.

    I was quite sheltered and oblivious really until age fifteen. It was after than point that I experienced a significant deterioration in mental health, morals, and innocence. But no matter the age, I think, it always feels too young. I often wish I were a child, ignorant of the harshness of the world once again and left to frolick in my grandmother's petunias. Those were the days.

    In some ways yes, I had been mentally abused by my father from when I was 11 or 12 until I was 18 and he was abusive of my mom for much longer than that time, some of which I can remember. I do also sometimes wish that I could go back to being innocently ignorant towards the outside world but I try not to let regret or desires to go back to simpler times to consume me.

    I'm not sure if I can relate. I guess I had a pretty "normal" experience growing up. I think I started finding out about the real world when I was maybe like 10 or 14. My memory is not good in terms of this.
