openwater · 46-50, M

I don't remember back that far. Even last week is a blur for me.

Nimbus · M

@openwater For some that may be a good thing.

openwater · 46-50, M

I have a feeling it is for me too, haha.@Nimbus

morrgin · F

Having the hottest and most perfect body

summersong · F

Driving around with friends late at night. And feeling like I had my whole life ahead of me.

Nimbus · M

@summersong 😜

PrivateHell · M

Working two jobs to help support my brother and three sisters and barely hanging on in high school. Watching my mother work herself nearly to death just to bare make rent. Never having any time for dates or hanging out with friends like other teens.

Having to go to court for months and testify against my own father.

Nimbus · M

@PrivateHell Oh my :(

4meAndyou · F

My innocent joy in sewing and making my own clothes. I had a 16 year old body that looked good in everything, and I really loved designing and making my own clothes.

Nimbus · M

@4meAndyou A useful skill to have :)

TexChik · F

Not having my wonderful parents to see after ( I thought I was their protector) and enjoy and work with daddy on the farm and get home schooled by mom or one of her friends every day. 16 was a blast. In the summers I played travel ball. We went every where. Oklahoma, Colorado, and Texas. We played all night, slept all day because of the 120 degree heat on the infield. It was crazy , and fun

Nimbus · M

@TexChik Sounds a blast! :)

yeronlyman · 51-55, M

I don't really; I left school with 5 O Levels, was a new mum at that point and I had started full-time as a hooker. Mum was stoned a lot and wasn't really paying the household bills..

I was thrust into being an adult....and it was a struggle.

@AthrillatheHunt lmfao! Good for you! Where the fuck was I??? Lol

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

@Eddiesolds she wouldn’t stop talking about you the whole time. So annoying. Lol

Eddiesolds · 61-69, M

@AthrillatheHunt lmfao! This is funny!!

BlueVeins · 22-25

I actually can't name anything.

Nimbus · M

@BlueVeins That's OK.

You will in about 30 years time :)

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Nimbus I think it just means life is getting better. 🤗

FurryFace · 61-69, M

uhh being sixteen years old and riding a bike around , i'm tired of being 63 yrs old

Nimbus · M

@FurryFace Great days! ;)

FurryFace · 61-69, M

@Nimbus

Nimbus · M

@FurryFace Now worth lots of money.

Shewolfiie69

The ability to run fast up hill without losing my breathe!!! Knees that use to let me hang upside down and etc.!!! I truly miss my younger body!!!

SW-User

I used to fly gliders. I miss that.

@PoetryNEmotion I could but I’d have to travel a long way and I strangely enough I couldn’t afford it like I could back then. It’s much more expensive now.

Nimbus · M

@SW-User Nice :)

I always wanted to do a parachute jump :)

SW-User

@Nimbus Yeah skydiving is something i'd like to try too one day :)

sciguy18 · M

Being able to get into and out of a chair without groaning.

Nimbus · M

@sciguy18 Awwww, I have that to come.

FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F

Being taller than most of the boys...they. caught up though. 😁

Nimbus · M

@FreeSpirit1 lol,

SW-User

I hated being 16 years old lol

Nimbus · M

@SW-User Awww, that's because it wasn't long ago for you.

You may appreciate it more later on :)

SW-User

@Nimbus I guess I liked the freedom of not paying bills lol

Nimbus · M

@SW-User Good point and the word 'freedom' is so appropriate.

Starchild1983 · 41-45, F

Being in love with a boy lol

SW-User

@Starchild1983 awww. You made me do my cute face😊

Starchild1983 · 41-45, F

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M

Hope.
Had lots of it back then.

Nimbus · M

@Picklebobble2 Yes, these are now dark days even for 16 year olds.

InterstellarButterfly · 26-30, F

wanting to be 18

Nimbus · M

@InterstellarButterfly 😛

NiftyWhite · 46-50, F

not too much really.

Nimbus · M

@NiftyWhite OK 👍

SW-User

Goodness, absolutely nothing. My teens were a nightmare. Attempted suicide and everything.

Edit: I will say this, I was not balding nor was I growing greys.

Nimbus · M

@SW-User Oh my.

I hope you are OK now.

SW-User

@Nimbus Oh yeah. No more suicide attempts for me.

Sazzio · 31-35, M

Freedom 😊 stress free. PS2. School.

Matter of fact people weren't hardcore reliant on Internet. Women managing to buy a handbag on sale, in actual shops and brag about it.

Nimbus · M

@Sazzio lol, some good observations there.

JohnnyBliss · 56-60, M

Her name was Nedra. She taught me how to [i]really[/i] french kiss. I can still smell the chlorine in her hair from when we made out after her swim practice.

Nimbus · M

@JohnnyBliss lol,

StarLily · 51-55, F

All the time I spent in the dance studio... I really miss that.🩰

And summers! Summertime was so much fun as a teen.🕶️

Nimbus · M

@StarLily Awwwww,
Can't you do that now?

StarLily · 51-55, F

@Nimbus Unfortunately only children to young adult dance classes are offered here. But I still practice stretching and some dance technique exercises at home.

Dave1955 · 61-69, M

More energy, better eyesight, a body that won't let me down, no general aches and pains, been horny 100% of the time

Nimbus · M

@Dave1955 Awwwww,

saragoodtimes · F

looking forward to turning 17 and getting my drivers license and shopping for a car with my dad

Nimbus · M

@saragoodtimes Exciting times :)

Nobody00 · F

omg freedom, wild summer vacations, living with gradma. The only happy moments in my childhood

Nimbus · M

@Nobody00 Nice :)

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

my back didn't hurt much back then unless I did too much gardening.

Nimbus · M

@cherokeepatti Awww, I know that feeling also at times.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@Nimbus I probably wasn't drinking enough milk back then, that would have helped probably

Nimbus · M

@cherokeepatti Possibly :)

Moonpenny · F

Being old enough to look 18 to get into the x-rated films ☺️
And one year closer to leaving home

Nimbus · M

@Moonpenny lol

latinbutterfly · F

Well, for me that would have been 1993-1994 and things were much simpler compared to now 🤷‍♀️.

Nimbus · M

@latinbutterfly Good point.
It's so depressing now.

SW-User

High school fun and sports (especially wrestling).

Nimbus · M

@SW-User Yes!

I used to play after school football and table tennis.

SW-User

@Nimbus Great days they were.

SW-User

Having the world ahead of me..with lots of options!and a fast metabolism lol

Nimbus · M

@SW-User 👍

SW-User

Hope.... Dreams... Not full of miserable cynicism

Nimbus · M

@SW-User Yep, my cynicism is mountain high.

SW-User

@Nimbus and I could have another shot at life. I'd definitely try to go to university second time around

Nimbus · M

@SW-User I mirror that.
I was headed that way too.

JamieCurtis0 · 26-30, M

having zero responsibility, living life for the purpose of having fun 😂

Nimbus · M

@JamieCurtis0 None better :)

PoetryNEmotion · F

I had hair down to my butt, Nim. I don't miss anything else about age 16. I did get a nice ruby ring from my oldest half-sister, but my younger sister stole it and gave it away. That's the only other thing I miss. What do you miss, Nim?

PoetryNEmotion · F

@Nimbus I have hair past my shoulders. Curly in ringlets. Want some?

Nimbus · M

@PoetryNEmotion I'm not at that stage of baldness, yet! :)

PoetryNEmotion · F

@Nimbus Making me laugh!

SW-User

Feelings of magic and hope for happiness.

Nimbus · M

@SW-User For sure, the future always looked bright.

SW-User

@Nimbus I miss that feeling. :)

Londonn · 36-40, M

Nimbus · M

@Londonn Awwwwww,

Londonn · 36-40, M

@Nimbus I mean who doesn't 🤔

Nimbus · M

@Londonn Indeed and it seems to get worse as one gets older.

RubySoo · 56-60, F

My parents. My friends.
Happy days x

@RubySoo Me too.

Wolf90 · M

@Nimbus beautiful memories

Dates to the drive-in.

Nimbus · M

@exexec Awwwwww :)

Lilymoon · F

young and carefree

Nimbus · M

@Lilymoon Yes, I remember those well :)

SW-User

Everything was cheaper

Nimbus · M

@SW-User Yes, makes sense 😛

hartfire

Nothing.
That was when I had my first major depression - one of the worst periods in my life.
It seems stupid now, but it all stemmed from the immanence of having to leave school in two more years and having no idea what to do with my life - what studies for what kind of future career.
