Is it normal to not remember most of your childhood/teenage years?
 

I think back, and I don't remember much before the age of 16. Even major events are a complete blank to me. It's not that I don't want to remember - I just draw a blank. When people ask me about things we used to do as kids, I barely remember THEM let alone the things we did.

Anyone else have this? Is it normal or am I going braindead?

I have memories as early as about 14 months old.

my first memories begin from age of 3

I did, and then I joined Facebook and it all came rushing back. :1orglaugh

I have early memories, basicly because I'm still in my teen years..

Repressed memories!

hehehe totally! Those guys who made fun of you in grade 3, the girl who everyone said was a slut in grade 7, the next door kid who went to private school... they're all on Facebook, waiting to be your "friend." ugh.

i remember whn i was born in the hospital

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh It's a fucking curse

Juicy D Links wasn't born into the world. The world was born around Juicy

not normal ...

It is basically the same for me....... I have always wondered if that was normal or not myself..... I have some memories from when I was a kid but they are pretty hazy. Of course some big events stick out but in general there is not much there. Perhaps I am just repressing the trauma of not getting laid until I was 17? :)

it is normal for the brain to remember happy and exciting moments especially.
usually boring and negative emotions/experiences are repressed and dumped in a "black hole"...
guees you could have had a boring childhood... could be all but i would definitively check with a doctor if you dont remember anything...
unless you smoke tons of weed ofcourse.

No it's not normal

you need to think around the block.. so instead of thinking about your 13th birthday, try and remember situations around that time
