Poll: What kind of child were you growing up?

[Berserker119]

I was adorable, and social around adults, but just couldn't keep my hands to myself around other kids. Future serial killer? What a good plan.

 

[Ursus Buckler]

I was fairly quiet, I never really went out of my way to be inquisitive about things as a baby and I usually just shut the hell up and got on with things in my primary school. My reputation as a goody-two-shoes therefore really helped out whenever I did end up clouting someone, as teachers reasoned that the kids I got into fights with were lying when they said I started it. XD

I suppose I was the scientist, I always wanted to learn and improve myself.

I was the quiet kid, but I had my moments of mishief as most kids do. Prank calling, flooding my gran's garage with the garden hose, chapping doors and running away, the usual. But in general I was a good kid and hated getting in trouble so I tried my best not to break the rules.

I was the scientist, whenever I visited my maternal grandfather we would experiment with fireworks in his shed, and he gave me my first chemistry sets which I loved. When he died, he left me his molecular modelling kit. (I always found that odd, as my grandfather was an engineer) God, I miss him.

I found that being the scientist also got me in trouble a lot. It turns out your parents are not too thrilled when you try and take apart their VCR because you are curious as to how it works.

I don't think a poll can encompass enough of the potential options, but I chose The Serial Killer.

I was (and still am) great at breaking all the rules I wanted while maintaining an almost squeaky clean reputation. I don't allow myself to be caught at anything that would be considered damaging to my image. I prided myself on carefully calculated scenarios that would give me freedom to do whatever I wanted at the time without consequence. If I really were a Serial Killer, this world would have a few less bodies in it.

These days, I make a game of seeing how far I can push things before I get stopped. To this day, the only official trouble I have with the law on record is a single speeding ticket. If only I kept track of every close call I've had with the law as a benchmark for this comparison, this might seem like an impressive feat.

I was the quiet kid who did what I was told, and was sensitive, and just wanted everyone to like me, as a kid, really.

Until I hit about the 10th grade of high school. At which point I stopped giving a damn about anyone else out there and became the essence of brute honesty. From that point on I pretty much became the 'bully' of people. But... better them than me, in my mind. Not to say that's the correct line of thinking, just that that's what I believed.

The quiet kid.

My mum is a teacher and very controlling. Enough said I think...

 

[MrGseff]

Like most people on The Escapist I was a quiet child, never really said much and didn't become outgoing until about the age of 14.

 

[Crazy_Dude]

I was the quiet one who always sat in the corner of the classroom and rarely made a sound. Fortunately that changed over the years when I just stopped caring about what other people thought of me.

 

[iLazy]

I voted quiet kid, not because I didn't get into trouble, I just never got caught. Oh how easy it was to manipulate adults when I was younger.

 

[ace_of_something]

Where is 'normal kid' sometimes in trouble most of the time not. Generally well behaved. Though I got in a lot of fights. That's part of living in a rural area though.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I was the quiet scientist, no toy got out alive, muahahahah!
My parents got wise after a while tho and just got me a huge box of Legos, and holy shit did I make some mutant creations.

 

[Woodsey]

Fairly shy. Never bullied or without friends though.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I was very quiet, I was(am)lost inside my own thoughts most of the time.

 

[Panorama]

I was the quiet kid, but also i did like to break things just because i could but even if i did something wrong i was innocent enough that no one ever thought it was me, i got caught doing something and smiled and quite easily wormed my way out of everything.

 

[alouicia]

Hyper, with an over-active imagination seemed to appear on my report cards often. My parents seemed to have me pegged as "creative", at least i sense thinking of me that way helped them sleep at night...

 

[Distorted Stu]

I was the perfect kid. Quiet, out of trouble, good in school blah blah

The phrase "always the quiet ones" describes me perfect lol i heard it being phrased and targeted at me a lot in my youth
