What would you choose?

bad childhoods seems to be the scorpionic theme. if you had to option to choose to be born into a terrible dramamtic childhood, or never be born or even aborted, which would you pick? this is not a question to be funny. i want to know perosnally which would be worse to you. some people do wish they were never born when they face unfair, complicated b.s. in their young lives. its worse when the abuse comes from the people who are supposed to love and take care of you.

this is not making fun of anything or anyone, as abortion is never a good answer for children, nor is abuse while growing up in the home, but it does happen in the real world.

so, would you rather be born to messed up parents and go through a childhood full of hell?

or would you prefer not to have any part of bad childhood and not be born, if you had a choice to decide?

i will answer this. i would have chosen to stay in my Creator's bosom rather than to be born to a crippling childhood.

I had a bad childhood. It was terrible and I had to put with it for seven years. But, I rather be born and live in a bad childhood then never have been born or aborted. I believe everything happens for a reason. Good or bad. You just have to live with it and hope that it will get better. I went through so many phases until I found my right phase. It's funny because when I think about all the bs that me and my sister went through, I realize it made us stronger and taught us life lessons that will help us with our future. I'm not the same person that I was when I was a child. I'm better and have more understanding in life than before.

If I had a choice, I would still keep my bad childhood because it made me who I am today. I'm happy what life turn out to be for me and my family. Everything happens for a reason!!!

Every Scorpio I know believes they had a bad childhood ... even when they actually had a good one.

In other words, P-Angel would have chosen to be aborted.

actually, i'm not sure if it's just scorps who feel hard done by cos of bad or unhappy childhoods. i think it's more a phase you go through to try and apportion blame for your emotional reaction to things in adulthood on your childhood experience. we live in a blame culture. everything's always someone else's fault.

but there has to come a time...ie when you've grown up...that you accept responsibility for your life otherwise you will not be able to move forward and mature. you are who you are - no go and deal with it.

bad shit happens to a lot of kids when they're growing up...it's more about circumstances at birth and how your parents raised you that determines that whole experience.

people who wish they hadn't been born have become trapped in a negative cycle and all the time they feel that way, bad shit will continue to happen.

some of the greatest people the planet has ever known have overcome unimaginable hardship to achieve great things. the difference in those people is that they were GLAD they had been born. you have to feel that way to seize all of life's opportunities.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger and most likely if you were aborted you'd likely get reborn elsewhere in this crazy world. Life could be worse off than a bad/unhappy childhood or imagined bad/unhappy childhood. If you weren't born in a "Western Country" you could be facing an endless war/conflict, starvation, diseases which could be prevented, no healthcare, poor work/food safety, limited education options and limited "freedom/rights".

Enjoy your life as much as possible, there are many people overseas who'd wish they were in your shoes.
