Little Secrets We Hid

"I remember my own childhood vividly... I knew terrible things. But I knew I mustn't let adults know I knew. It would scare them." - Where The Wild Things Are 
I think this quote could mean a lot of things to many people including myself. I think when kids are little they are destined to find out something that they should not know and keep it to themselves. Parents can not shelter their children from finding out things that their children should not know as well. The kids may hear something from someone or even when seeing something from watching t. v. When I was little I heard and saw many things that I probably should of not heard. I saw effects of what alcohol could do to some people. I did not like what it would do to the people I loved. It hurt a lot of people in many ways and not just me. I saw what would happen when people would become addicted to getting that "high" feeling. It scared me a lot to think that just some simple things could change people that I loved into terrible people that I do not know who they are anymore. I never really talked about it to my parents because what would they of think. Those events have shaped me into the person I am today; not wanting to be the kind of person they are.
