It is about time somebody destroyed that old myth(神话）about childhood being the happiest period of your life. Childhood may certainly be fairly happy, but its greatest moments can't compare with the joy of being an adult. Adults choose the clothes their children will wear, the books they will read and the friends they will play with. This is an adult world.
But which adult would honestly change places with a child? Every movement you make and every thought you think are watched by some adult. Remember how gentle pressure was given to you with words like " If you don't do as I say, I will... " I'm sure you will never forget!
Even so, these are only part of the child's trouble, no matter how kind and living parents may be, children often suffer from terrible and illogical fears since they can't understand the world around them. Adults can share their fears with other adults while children have to face their fears alone. But the most painful part of childhood is a period when you begin to go out of it, the period when you go into adolescence. Adolescence pay much attention to their appearance and the impression they make on others. They feel shy, awkward and clumsy. Feelings are sensitive and hearts are easily broken. Teenagers experience moments of great happiness or black despair.
