Aspirations and childhood


Ever aspired to be a certain animal or famous person? This lot have and they also give us their views on children today.

Lauren

Lauren, 18 Do you think kids grow up too fast nowadays? Definitely, they grow up way too fast - they're all into mobile phones and short mini skirts at the age of 9. It's like "nooo" you're babies! What was your favourite TV programme? He-Man, I wanted to marry him when I was younger. I guess him and Power Rangers were my idols. I wanted to be them.

Emma

Emma, 16 If you could be anyone who would you be? Christina Aguilera. She has so many different looks and she's just so stunning! If you could be any animal what would you be? A cat... that's a really random question. If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive who would it be? Brad Pitt (hmm, wonder why? - ed).

Tom

Tom, 19 If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive who would it be? Kurt Cobain. If you could change something about yourself what would it be? I wish I wasn't diabetic.

Anna

Anna, 16 Did you have a favourite toy when you were a kid? I had a massive white fluffy polar bear, I've still got him actually! He's called Poly. Did you have a childhood idol? Not really. I think I used to be in love with Michael Jackson though. If you could be any animal what would you be? A tiger, they're really beautiful and there aren't many around at the moment.

Chris

Chris, 18 Do you think kids grow up too fast nowadays? Yes, I definitely do think that! I think there's too much pressure on kids to grow up and be adults and be 18 and get into pubs, but they really don't need to. Did you have a childhood idol? No -actually, does Batman count?

Maria

Maria, 18 Do you think kids grow up too fast nowadays? Yes, for instance the clothing. There's lots of really tiny clothes for small children! Did you have a favourite toy when you were a kid? My teddy.
