People who are nostalgic about childhood, were obviously never children.
Few people can remember the truth about adolescence. Their minds "censor"
their memories; and have them believe that being a teenager was was one big

hardest to be accepted among a certain group or circle. Whereas most of the
time we are rejected and we become depressed. Depression, another problem,
along with ignorance and apathy that thwarts our lives. A wise man when
questioned about his view on ignorance and apathy, said "I don't know, and
I don't give ...
