I was just curious about my memory. I can't remember anything of my childhood. Or my teen years. Yep none of them either. I remember a few pieces. I fell down some stairs and broke my oreo cookies. (i felt like the world ended). I almost drowned as a child, i only remember the water going up and up. I was elecrocuted(probably didn't spell that right) at maybe 10 years of age. I am 35 years old. I can't remember much of my 20's either. Seems the older i become the more i forget. AS a teen i was kidnapped by two guys. It was very traumatic for me. I Had a crappy memory before that happened??? I think maybe something happened as a child and my memory is blocking it out? I don't know. Something worse then what i do remember? Hopefully not.

    It is common to remember bits and pieces. If you're really bugged about it you could ask someone you grew up with to describe things of the past as a test. Also, when I'm depressed I struggle to remember or even think about anything positive. Since the memories you listed all seem negative, perhaps a more accurate test may be done when your in a good mood or better state of mind.

    could be head injuries. i had a photographic memory until after i had several concussions. even had my head runover by a small car. not lying. and angel saved me. either way i get really confused now and cannot think spacially. i think i make up memories too. they call it confabulation. i wouldn't worry about it, before my memory was bad i would torment myself by playing every mistake i could remember over and over in my head, and i'm a lot happier now.

    It's normal. I remember only a few camping trips and a lot of fights with my sister. Thinking back as a whole I remember I was treated pretty fair but when trying to think of examples all I remember are times that I was singled out.
    Other people remember me from Kindergarden. Hell I don't even remember any of the people I worked with at my last job, except my as*hole boss.

    It sounds like you were physically abused as a child. Your parents' probably hit you so hard on the head, it gave you amnesia.
