I wish I was a child and had never learned any of the things I know now about all adult-related topics. I wish I could have my innocence back. Is this normal?

    I needn't wish for such realities.

    I think most folks would rather be a child again with their full adult knowledge and experience.

    Fuck to the no! My childhood was terrible and if I went back, chances are that it still be the same and I would be forced to relive and then forget all of my horrors. Everything that I have accomplished now as an adult and still hope to accomplished would be erased.

    I also wish to be a child again because as we grow up we face tough challenges

    I hated being a kid. I'd sooner die than go through that hell again.

    What specifically about "adult-related topics" is hurting you? Work out what specifically is causing you distress and brainstorm different ways of coping with it.

    I think it's normal to wish you had your childhood back, but it isn't normal for it to cause you much distress.

    Yes, I think everyone wishes to have the freedom of being a kid again with no serious issues, or problems.
