If you could be one age for life and know what you know now, what age would you pick?

I would be the age I am now. here's why...

in the USA anyone under the age of 16 at the least has to be in a public private or homeschooling situation. even knowing what I do now I probably would not be able to do today's elementary school work because it is so vastly different then when I went to elementary and high school.

if I chose to be any age under 18 I would have an adult telling me what I can and cant do, an adult buying my clothing, toys, food and shelter depending upon what....they ....felt I can / should and cant/ should not have.

I also would not want to relive my childhood years oh man going through age related developmental stuff would be the worst. I remember being 10 yrs old and having a crush on my best friend. to go through that forever because of not aging no not my picture of a fun life, at various ages of my childhood I was going through the system and all the stuff that went through that, would not wish this on my worst enemy.

I also would not pick a teen age year. to have to relive puberty and teen age problems over and over again because of not aging. nope I do not want acne for ever or getting my monthly .....for the first time..... over and over and over again, would not want to relive a very emotional break up I went through as a 17 year old...

my point if I was to pick any ages as a child/ minor I wouldnt just be picking the fun times. there are things that people naturally go through when they reach their developmental ages.

another point knowing what I do know now about my life history there are many things that happened in my childhood that either positively helped to form who I am today or negatively affected me to the point of having DID a majority of my life and now after being integrated, having other dissociative disorders/ problems. to choose an age to be forever would be choosing for all those things to be happening to me again over and over and over again because thats what happened during that year that I would be choosing to be.

if I chose to be a child again I would also be giving up all that I have today like my wife, children, job, home.... so much would be lost if I chose to be a child of any age again.

no I would not change / go back and relive all those years. I am content being the age that I am. as an adult I have so much more good in my life then I did as a child.
