Have you got something that you did when you were little that you are still carrying around with you? Do you feel it's time to share it now?

When I was about 12, I set the school fire alarm off as a prank. The whole school had to sit in the dining room in silence until someone confessed. We sat there for four hours. I didn't confess.

I have something I have never told anyone because it is so horrible that I'm afraid of how they would look at me after I told them. I think I would lose my best friend over it too and she's my sister.

Well Wolfie i wish that was the worst secret i had to share from my childhood. And Constantine - no-one can see you here - well we can see some of the inner but for the rest you are anonymous - so if you want to share.....it may be a huge relief to get it out there. One untold childhood secret - my brother nearly shot me through the head - i heard the bullet whistle past my ear - and i never knew if he was aiming at me.

Hi rose07. Pleased to hear that you coulda rather than did! I have to say that we used to see how far we could stick pins into ourselves before we could bear it no longer. Used to hurt like mad.

I set fire to my mum's osti dress - making a volcano with kero - I managed to stop the fire at a fair way up the skirt and shredded the burnt bits away and explained the dog got excited and attacked it. Poor Hannibal the dog - he didn't get any treats for a long time.

One of my earliest memories is stealing all the shoe polish tins (the round ones with the flip clips) from under the sink and hording them under my bed. For some reason I really loved the shoe polish tins, and loved polishing my dads shoes, so I stole the tins to keep them close! I denied it when my parents asked me about it, and was really embarrassed when they found them. I was a bit of an odd child I think.

Hi rose - I thought I would sneak on The Wall before going to bed ... I am well, but a bit tired so am off for an early night.

Did it hurt when we stuck the pins it - it hurt like mad! Trouble is, you lost if you cried.

My other secret ... I kissed my first boy, in a 'romantic' fashion, when I was about 7 - even I think that is way too young!

wow *blush* my first kiss like that doesn't even belong in this talkabout, i was 18 going on 19. Aprox. 6 months ago. The real secret : No one else knows besides him, and my best friend, who found me crying because i had just kissed my first boy, some random guy whom i had never seen before and to this day have never seen again.

To this day I feel bad about this. All throughout elementary school I was the UGLY KID, the one everyone made fun of and laughed at. I was the kid who never got invitations to birthday parties (I did get one in 5th grade though), but still, I was the odd one out all the time.

In JR High I was suddenly popular. I had become the pretty girl in school/the one a lot of people wanted to be around. My "ugliness" had just overnight disappeared. Well, I had one good friend, and since she was still "the odd one out" I quit hanging out with her. I feel bad for leaving her out and haven't seen her since .

My new found beauty had gotten me a lot of attention though/guys/and a lot of negative things happened to me too/ so, I quit going to school/ so my new-found popularity didn't matter much but the first few weeks of school......

It was me who hid Hazel's shoe under the mattress so she went home without it. And I don't care. She used to pinch my arms and poke me in the back with her long fingernails and I hated her. She was one of my bigger sister's friends, came for a holiday, and I stole her shoe and hid it under the mattress of the bed. Ha ha, I don't care.

I had sex for money when i was 14 with a family 'friend' - a man. I can't believe i have finally said this. It makes me feel sick inside.

Connector, it seems to me that it is not you who should feel sick at this memory. At 14 you were still a child, the so called family friend is the one who should be feeling sick with guilt. I think you are entitled to feel angry that someone took advantage of what was obviously a confusing time for you.

It is difficut PPB. It was at a time when i was coming to terms with my dad being gay. It was a friend of a friend of his. I have never told my man. It left me feeling even more confused and rather grubby. I have never told anyone. now it has all resurfaced again. But i need to concentrate on my finals. I cannot let this in and yet writing this yesterday has brought back some demons.

Please take it easy on yourself - what you did at fourteen is what you did then - and at fourteen we don't have all our neural connections up and firing!
Good luck with the exams - relax and go for it - come back to this stuff later, when you have time to work on it - stay safe

That's a very sensible approach from Jomo, Connecter, and when you've finished the exams, and if you still want to talk, we will be here. All the best for those exams!

I remember these two blokes looking over the garden wall when I was about 7 and me and my friend were bribed on toffees to lift up our dresses - which we did - for weeks - its kind of like sex for sweeties. No one found out.

Oh, this is hard. But it might be good to get it off my chest. At about age 7 or 8 I was living in a small Canadian prairie town and I had a good friend who was Chinese. Her family was the only non-white family in my school and neighbourhood and I had never know someone of a different race. I'm so ashamed that one day when she was coming to my place after school I said to her (totally in well-meaning innocence) that I hope my dog likes Chinese people (because I didn't want the dog to bark or jump on her). I don't think I even knew then that I was identifying her as somehow different from me and I certainly had no idea at the time what a comment like this might have meant to my dear friend. Elaine, I am so sorry. I was so naive and unschooled in life that I was careless with your feelings and may have hurt you so deeply and yet not have even known it. I hope that good things have come to you in your life since then. My tears fall now, empty, drying on a crinkled page from the past.
