Date: September 6th, 2025 8:30 AM Author: '"'"''"'"'''"''" Spent a good amount of time outdoors, mostly with family and/or family friends. My K-8 school, despite being an under-funded public school, had a fun summer program that I did for several years. I lived a block away from school, which helped. Lots of trips within driving distance with family and/or family friends. I had a growth spurt the summer before 8th grade and reached my adult height of 6' 2", which automatically made me a "cool" kid who played sports and was invited to parties with other "cool" kids.
The summer before high school, we moved so that my brother and I wouldn't go to the local high school, which was a very terrible public school. We moved to the tiny "poor" part of an otherwise UMC suburb. I didn't fit in because nearly everyone around me came from money and lived in a bubble, whereas I had no money and lived through poverty first-hand. The "cool" kids in a UMC suburb are unbelievably lame. Still had friends, but I spent more time in front of screens during my high school years. |

Would wake up and watch cartoons if there were any. By late morning I'd be out with friends riding bikes, playing football, or just walking around town to find shit to do
We'd play Nintendo or Genesis if something new had come out. Sometimes go to the local pool to swim and play shit like marco polo and tag and shit

Date: September 6th, 2025 12:03 PM Author: OldHLSDude My parents both worked in a factory, so they were gone from 6:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. 5 days/week. Until I was 10 I had a babysitter, but afterward I was on my own, though the babysitter didn't sit on me too hard. I pretty much did what I wanted with no supervision.
Parents were not involved in what the kids did. They didn't go to games, didn't drive us places, and generally ignored us unless we were causing problems. When I started playing little league there were no parents ever at practice and only a few at the games. Basically kids and adults lived in parallel worlds.
I rode my bike all over town. We had an endless workup baseball game running on a nearby vacant lot. You walked on in the outfield and as each batter was out advanced a position until you got to hit. Sometimes there would be 20 kids on the field so it might take an hour to get to bat. Oh, the heartbreak of fouling out on the first pitch!
At night we sometimes played kick the can in the dark at my friend's house a few blocks away.
When TV wrestling became a thing in about 1957 we started wrestling. We would do it at somebody's house where the parents weren't home.
After the sitter stopped coming I had to do chores every day: wash the dishes, make the bed, and dust the house. Took maybe an hour and I hated it. If I didn't enough grease off the cast iron skillets my mother would yell at me.
Often I would go to the corner grocery store for breakfast: a dime bought a Coke and a Zero candy bar. My Aunt owned another grocery store. Sometimes I would go there and hang out. My mother and she didn't get along, so I had to sneak. That's where I met my first lesbian. Her dad had no fingers and drove a cab. His nickname was "Nub." She moved to West Hollywood. Think she's det now.
Saturdays were movie day: ten cents admission for a double feature western/horror movie, then 15 cents for a Coke and popcorn. The movie was so full of screaming kids nobody could hear the dialog. Starting in sixth grade I would sit with various girls and try to kiss and cop a feel. Never got very far - they were not very cooperative. I still talk with four of them from time to time. One has Parkinson's, one looks very old and sick, one has dementia, and the fourth is still remarkably hot, age adjusted.
There were kids everywhere. On my block alone, which consisted of 12 houses, there were 7 of us all about the same age, plus older and younger ones. All are det now except for two of us. One was shot and killed by the police, one was blown up in Vietnam, one was killed in a car crash, and two suffered fatal heart attacks.
The red headed girl across the street used to come over. She wore incredibly tight jeans with a good camel toe, had perky little budding tits and noticeable BO (deodorants were not a thing yet) which somehow was sexy. I wanted to fuck her so badly. I think about her even today and wonder what happened to her. I always had to whack off after she left. That must have been at about age 12.
Sometimes several guys would get together to jack off and see who could come first. We never got any gayer than that.
I also spent a lot of time reading, learning chemistry and making corrosive, flammable and explosive concoctions. I also got into electronics and ham radio and built and used radio communications gear. I had a 90 volt battery that I used mainly for its electric shock value. I actually talked one guy into licking it. Sometimes I would go to the library to read because it was air conditioned (and had books, which were in short supply at our house).
At age 14 I started a part time job, so that cut into my play time somewhat.
At age 15 it all ended when I started going to college in the summers, though I had adventures there, too. The first summer at college I discovered "heavy petting" with an older girl who thought I was college age. She almost put me in the position of having to drive a car without a license. Still have fond memories of her. She was a tall Nordic sort with big tits. Wide hips, too. Sigh. By the time I was 16 I had a regular girlfriend and was getting laid regularly. It was deluxe. Fond memories.

Date: September 6th, 2025 1:06 PM Author: daniel gay luis Me and my friend would ride our bikes 13 miles to my grandparents farm and fish in the creek until we caught a few trout then my grandma would fry them up for us. We would usually swim and make a fire too if it wasn't bad wildfire danger. Older neighbor girl who was in like 7th grade would come swim and flash her pussy and boobs & try to get us to do stuff to her, turned out she had been sexually abused we found out later. I had a Limp Bizkit CD that she threw like a frisbee and we couldn't find it. We were not allowed to watch TV or play video games until the sun was down and that wasn't until like 10 pm in the summer. We had a sega genesis but playing sonic got old quick as it was and is a bad game IMO (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5770336&forum_id=2#49240991) |

Date: September 6th, 2025 1:22 PM Author: nigstomper420@tufts.edu My best summers as a kid were the years I went to summer day camp because both my parents worked during the week
Played sports all morning, played board games and video games in the afternoon. Never thought about anything but play. Never any worries or concerns. Was friends with everyone, we all had everything in common. It was run by college kids as a summer job and the guys were all cool chads who we looked up to and who would help organize the sports and games and the girls were all pretty and feminine and would dote on us and make us snacks and stuff. Obviously every single person was white
When I think about what I would want life to be like under Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence idea - if you had to live life over and over again, how would you do it and what would it be like - I think that's what I would want. To live that life forever, over and over. Every single day I woke up excited to go to day camp and every single night I went to bed tired and happy and content. I've experienced a lot of good times as an adult but never anything that has come close to living that life |

Date: September 6th, 2025 1:42 PM Author: nigstomper420@tufts.edu It's very possible that our generation's childhood lives were the best lives that any human beings have ever lived in our species history. Not an exaggeration
As an adult I now recognize that modern decadence has been a mistake and has led to our downfall. But as children during that era, we didn't have to experience any of the downsides. It was as close to a utopia as humans can get. Unfathomable material wealth and comfort, safety, homogeneity, freedom of movement and action, lack of any material or social pressures or concerns or worries
Even the highest king or warlord of the past never lived a life as amazing as we did as children. I will always be grateful for what we were given. It's important to remember how good things can be. Bad people will always try to make you believe that things cannot ever be good but it's a lie |

Date: September 6th, 2025 1:48 PM Author: Terry Bollea Did Nothing Wrong (TDNW) I recently heard Jordan Peterson say that the opposite of tyranny is play, and I think about that a lot with my kids
but at the same time that has to come to an end and they need to learn to deal with the world as it is… so it’s the transition from the former to the latter is the tricky bit |
