I cant remember my childhood

Im 18 and I can only remember a handful of things that have happened to me my ENTIRE life. Most of them being the things Ive done this month or when Ive hurt myself BAD. I can remember all the places Ive lived and vistied, but not the things I did when I was there.

    i think it's normal too. i think the things that make some sort of impact can be recalled, but not the minor day to day things.

    also, as a baby and child, your mind is still developing, so we are all probably somewhat the same in that.

    Everybody's mind works differently and retains information differently. I'd say it's normal.

    I'm 35 and I can remember stuff from when I was 3 or 4.

    It's not normal to me, seeing as I can recall a lot of stuff (I think) from my childhood.

    You might remember stuff randomly. It happens to me sometimes. You might see something or be thinking about something and viola, a memory got unlocked.

    I thinks kinda normal, you don't really remember things unless there is a point, sometimes you just remember the facts

    Same here. All of my life i only remember some memories. Im a freshman, and i can hardly remember anything until 8th grade. I feel like its so pointless.

    Im in the same boat, a year younger, 17. Maybe its because I hate my life and dont want to remember. The only things I do remember are things that Ive always wondered if I had done differently if id actually be someone today, instead of just the guy with no friends. You may be depressed like I think I am. Try listening to Excess Baggage by Stained over and over again doesnt help but soothes to think about it. Only thing different about me than what that song says is in it he has someone hes saying it to, I use it as a general overview of my life. TRY IT, IT HELPS!
