Childhood is pointless, no?
 

We all have different childhoods. We cannot choose the way we grew up, but we can choose the way we want to lead our life. Childhood is a precursor to your beliefs, and really your self as an adult. Only "you" can change the way you want to be perceived, think, etc.

because your childhood and the environment you grow up in determines the rest of your life, basically, because of your mental development and whatnot. if you grow up in an unstable environment, you'll probably be an unstable adult.

Childhood may seem pointless when so much of our society refuses to accept maturity. However, it is no fault of the children, and in fact they have much to teach us - the main lesson being how to learn.

I was at a birthday party for a three year old girl today with several very young kids and their parents and grandparents in attendence. There was much happiness and some interesting lessons in sharing. Such a simple yet crucial concept that rarely makes it onto CNN.

That is true, but the way we let people affect us come straight from childhood.

This is very true. The things that I used to, in a way, shy away from and avoid, like family things, I now very much appreciate and find these times to be the happiest and most insightful.

In your case, if your childhood produced a person who posts crap like this, then, yes, it was pointless.

Childhood is pointless, no? Jesus wept.

The shortest sentence in the bible.

Childhood has a point- to give us a feeling of deep nostalgia and lost innocence later in life.

I wish I was still a child. Sure I'm still young but I want to be a kid who's full of imagination again.

I was so easily amused as a child.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
