If you woke up one day & found yourself in your 10 yr old body would you stay &

[tantricia44]

start over?
Okay, where did this come from? Well, I had weird dream last night & I woke up & I was 10 again. It was really creepy the thing is I was ten again yet I knew everything my adult self knows now. A voice in my said do you want stay 10 for a week & go back or do you want stay forever & start over? Before I could answer the question, I woke up again this time back in my adult body. MMMMM, so, if I did answer the question, I would say NO WAY, I'd stay a week & be kid again but I wouldn't start over, it was hard the first time around. Ya, I know why, not;  all the advantages such as knowing what is selling or not & go into stocks, knowing mean tricks your siblings & enemies at school was going to do to you. Who never to get involve with, fashion trends,which friends are going to stab you in the back....etc. I thought about what behaviors that are a norm now; would be not back then. I don't think I can take giving up my well earned open mind for youth & ignorance. I don't think i could take another 30 yrs to retrain my parents to the limited open mind they have now. It wasn't easy training the PARENTAL UNITS! So, WHAT WOULD YOU DECIDE GIVEN THIS CHANCE?

Wow fun question,  I would stay a week but leave a very detailed letter to myself about what to invest in and things to avoid.  There are a lot of bad decisions I made though that got me to where I am today.  Like if I hadnt have dated that loser that introduced me to my roomate would I have met my husband who used to go to school with my roomate?  I could have avoided a lot of pain but I wouldnt be where I am today?  re living the whole thing could be hard though I might do better with my grades!

Interesting discussion! A lot has changed in the world that could be taken advantage of, and even in those ten years I have some very huge regrets. But yeah, definitely, one thing I'd do is find a way to get into my parents bank account somehow and get my little booty into the stock exchange.  My parents would thank me later.

Um no I wouldn't stay.  The 90's were great but there's really nothing I would do differently.  Why risk messing things up?  LOL

TVALLO ~Great idea, leaving a detailed diary to myself would have helped out a lot tears in the future.

  YES!!! Boy would I do things differently!!!

[tantricia44]

I would stay and start over and avoid the boy that ruined my life when I was 12.

marrieelissa your so brave, as for me, still chicken. Still, knowing what you know now, why don't you not avoid him & turn the tables on him! Revenge is a dish best served cold. Though, now in present time, I hope this jerk who ruined your life no longer has this power over you. If it is so, now is the time to take that power back! He isn't worth it.

Maybe, I think that its unfair to just hit "restart" and that everyone has to age.

[lighthouse68]

It would be nice. I would be thinner and have more energy. I also wouldn't have to worry about bills or a job.

[mgarmstrong]

Interesting question.....I might do it all again and change the little things (I wouldn't get fat, that's for sure).   But I wouldn not change the major things, I would keep the same hubby, have the same kids.

[lmthompson]

I wouldn't stay it was fun when it happen, but been there done that!! Besides as an adult I get to do all the fun things I did when I was ten, but wit the power of me setting the limits not my mom or dad!

[swogden]

Interesting concept; at first I didn't realize that you meant go back in time to your 10 year old body -- that makes it even more interesting.   But no, I wouldn't want to go back to age 10.

Now if you made it age 25  in the current day and age with all the resources that I have on hand now --  I'd accept in a heartbeat.  But going back in time to the limited resources and years of work still ahead of me -- nope.

I'll take what I have today, weary old body and all.

This happened in an anime series. The main character was a teen very skilled in solving crime mysteries. One day while spying on two people, he was discovered, knocked unconscious, and was given a drug. When he woke up, he was a kid again but his mind was unaffected. He is trying to find a way to return to normal but until he is able to, he is undercover solving crime mysteries and letting another detective get the credit.

Case Closed? I used to love that show. I'm thinking about buying a bunch of episodes on DVD. That was one of the most creative, interesting detective shows on TV.
