Bad memories, experiences you had as a child which still haunts you, reminds you till this day
When I was around 7, I had a classmate who had a snotty nose vast majority of the time. He would not wipe it. It looked like a green mushy peas. Ever since then whenever I see mushy green peas it reminds me of him. That is one of the reasons I never ate green peas. Anyone else have any sad memories which they wish to have forgotten?

Once when I was 3 I was playing with my friend and being a toddler I bit her for no reason. As punishment, my teacher force fed me a spoonful of spicy mustard, put me in a highchair and put the highchair inside a small bathroom with no windows and turned the lights off and closed the door. Traumatic and still haven't forgotten about it.2

Awe, that's torture. Teachers back in the day were ruthless.0 -

Wow. Teachers would not get away with that today. I personally would break my foot in theirass if they treat my kid that way.4 -

Oh wow. That's horrible. I hope she got reprimanded for that whether it was now or then, that is just not right.
I got my knuckles snapped by a ruler several times, daily all through 3rd grade by my teacher Mrs. Flint. She was beyotch.. all I was doing was talking to my friends. So what if she was trying to teach us something?
But that slapping of a ruler sound still haunts me. 0 -

I think you should go and find the teacher to get revenge :0 -
I saw my little brother get hit by a pickup truck and dragged underneath it for at least 30 meters. He was ok, just had a concussion.3

A grown *kitten* adult neighbor used to stalk me when i was a child. He caught me alone one day turned off the light and tried to strangle me. He died of cancer when I was a teen. I am still afraid of the dark.1

That is so horrible, I am so sorry for your awful experience1 -
Worrying that my mom and step fathers drug use could result in them going to jail, and what would happen to me and my brother if they did. Hiding their "stash" once when police came to our door, and then getting reprimanded for hiding it (I was trying to look out for them, for some reason I always knew it was something to hide)0

Growing up with an abusive father, a clinically depressed mother and a mentally ill sibling, yes, there are plenty of sad memories.2

Some of these bad "experiences" should not haunt these people still today... some just need thicker skin. But others I can relate with totally Shi** stuff can happen in life just as long as you can turn your circumstances into something constructive. Ive dealt with a lot of trauma in life and I just rather choose to learn from the experiences rather then let it haunt me for ever.3

I suppose your right what is common place for me might be an out right tragedy for another, who am I to judge. I still think people could benefit from developing a thicker skin / Positive mindset.0 -
In Kindergarten I went, down the; playground's slide & the metal at the, end wasn't rounded/smooth so; it shredded my back & thus I was afraid to, go down them; via then!
I had a gym class a few years later within, which weaving around; the swings & then going down the slide at, another school was; our required exercise! Well I'd weave around the slide instead even, the threat of failing gym class didn't force me to; face my fear & I was a huge fan of American Gladiator's so, of course I loved that we we're essentially turning the swing/slide set into; an obstacle course!
Anyway he reported me to, the guidance counselor she took me to; the swings & told me that, we weren't leaving until I went; down that slide! It was completely ridiculous I, mean it wasn't a fear that; was a necessity to overcome lol but I did! Unfortunately that was the, beginning of; me having a reason to hate myself because I was a tough girl whom, never tolerated being; treated unfairly & at, that age I; was actually my toughest but that day I just didn't have the fight in me so, to be honest I'd rather still be afraid of going down a slide than; hating myself for my moment of weakness! 3 -
That time when me and my friends overheard some older boys taking about a dead body they found by the railroad tracks. It was believed to be the body of a classmate of ours who had been missing for a while. My friends and I decided to set out to find it and be heroes. Seeing that dead body really impacted me for life.3

So although its wonderful to be at goal weight, and its nice to know your great enough, that your dance teacher wants you front and center. But, you would rather be running the show, not in the show. You would rather be at monitor world or FOH wearing a sound technician cap, cargo shorts and polo shirt, respected for your work by the big guys. Save my bikini for my own back yard. Save my sexy outfits for nights with my husband. But it's okay now. I know how to call 911. I know how to protect myself with a deadly force. Go ahead, try me.
I've never wanted to be your friend more!
Oooh. You quoted me.
But thank you.
How did you know I would go and erase it out?

Maybe too thick of skin can cause someone to think that they are not bigger than their circumstances. They may just take life as it comes and never use those bad experiences to create positive changes in their lives.
No one can really judge what should or shouldn't be traumatic to another person.
Exactly this, trust me, I have more than my fair share of really traumatic stuff that I could talk about here. But I don't, I come here to have fun. So I posted a light funny to me "traumatic" story. If I told you my real tragedies, they would haunt you too.4 -
When I was around 6 or 7, I almost drown. I was alone as well and panicked. I had been taking swimming lessons and tried to swim on my own and couldn't get back out the water. With a hell of a struggle, I made it out and have been terrified of deep water since then. I still can't swim. Once the water is around my neck or even shoulders, I just panick and can't move. It was very traumatic.
My little sister also suffered the same but at 3 when she fell into the deep end and luckily our little cousin, who had just finished his last swimming class, was already there and he saved her life. Ever since then I've wanted to try to learn, but my own past gets in the way.

When I was about 10 years old I was taking a shortcut through a heavily wooded area near where I grew up. I came upon a small campsite. I may have stumbled onto something illegal, because two adult men near the camp site started to run towards me. I ran as fast and as far as I could, and they chased me for some distance until I jumped over a stream and ran through a swampy area to get away from them.
I wouldn't say this haunts me, but it does scare me to remember and to think about what could have happened if I had not gotten away from them.0 -
I just want to give some of y'all a big hug.
