What Was Your Biggest Problem When You Were 11? – #TQOTD

We all got problems, but they change drastically as you get older.  So we wanted to know what your big problem was when you were just a little person.  Connie's problem was having to come home and eat lunch while she was swimming.  Fish wanted to go play Star Wars, and Steve couldn't stay up all night playing computer games.

TEXT QUESTION OF THE DAY:
What was your biggest problem when you were 11?

• Having to shut off my bedside light and quit reading and go to sleep lol
  going training bra shopping with my Mom.
• #tqotd School. We moved and making new friends wasn't easy. Most at that age have grown up together. I got lots of practice because my parent's couldn't decide where they wanted to live. One year I changed schools 3 times!
• What was my biggest problem when I was 11?? My BFF moved to Spring Lake and I was devastated. We did the best we could to stay in touch but phone calls were far and few between. Fast forward today... We have never been closer and we do everything together. I love my Jayne... Happy Tuesday ???
• So 11 years old I was in probably 6 grade and I'd say my biggest problem was that I was the fat kid and I had a really hard time fitting in because I was still kind of new at that school
• Grease and just come out and I couldn't go to the movies to see it
• TQOTD...biggest problem I had when I was 11 was missing half the year being really sick and having to stay after school the rest of the year to catch up. Sadly I don't think I caught up with math ever, that problem followed me to this day. Lol!
• #TQOTD Making friends at a new school.
• When I was 11 I started dealing with the monthly issue of the female reproductive system and I had a jerk of a step-dad that started my hatred of doing dishes cause it was my only chore.
• Mine was probably the note tv my brothers and sisters controlled that because they were younger than me
• TQOTD- it was 1996 and my biggest problem was dial-up internet.
• Text question of the day Having to come in when the street lights were on and we would be in the middle of a game
• The girl that was my best friend decided she hated me overnight and proceeded to make the rest of the school year hell. FROG YOU, SHANNON
• Rando texto Fish, I keep hearing about your childhood on banks lake in Greenville, I grew up with a cottage on Woodbeck. My parents since have built a home and reside there. Which brings me to the text question of the day. My biggest problem at 11 years old was when my parents needed a break from pulling kids tubing on the lake.
• Going to bed at 9:00 in the summer and not being able to eat all the things others got to. Junk food.
• Being uprooted from where I was born and raised and moved 2 hours away. And it was the summer I was started middle school, so talk about starting school with no friends a month later.
• My biggest problem when I was 11... my family. My single-parent mom was bipolar, and a fiery, fierce redhead. My younger brother had no impulse control, oppositional defiant disorder and ADHD. Because mom was ALWAYS busy with brother, I had to be seen but not heard. There was no room for me to have an opinion, express any feelings other than happy, and I wasn't allowed to have friends over because of the "chaos" in my mom's parenting style a.k.a yelling and spanking.
• Having to wear a bra and having the boys at school constantly snapping it
  I let my friend pierce my bellybutton. Believe it or not, the safety pin piercing got super infected and I had to tell my mom. 2 weeks of being grounded and some penicillin later all was good.
• My biggest problem when I was 11 was going from being the baby of the family too than having a little sister
• In the hospital because I lost my left foot when I walked out in front of the hay mower that's how I spent most of that summer also had been camping the week before and was covered with poison ivy ???? love you guys
• Biggest issue I had when I was 11 was learning to deal with having a learning disability. I was diagnosed with some pretty intense ADHD and as a result, I got put on a strong dose of Ritalin. That stuff turned me on to such a zombie that I was failing everything which then leads to me getting in trouble so the time bc everybody just thought I was slacking which then lead to a whole manner of other problems for me. I was dealing with serious depression, suicidal thoughts, an eating disorder to name a few. It would take a few years yet before I took myself off that awful pill and I began to do incredibly well in school and outside of school. I'm now 32, have the ADHD under control without the aid of drugs, am super happy with life, have the best kiddo and the best boyfriend a girl could ask for, and I'm happy with how my body looks. #igotthis
• #TQOTD - How mad my soon-to-be ex-boyfriend would be when I had my best friend break up with him in the lunch line because I was too embarrassed to do it. He used to call me in the morning before school to tell me he hoped I'd have a great day and that he looked forward to seeing me, every.single.day. My mom made me break it off because she said I was too young to have a boyfriend.
• When I was 11, My family had just moved from Canada (Windsor) to a small town of Union City, MI. It's a town where most people are born and raised and stay their whole lives. I was the new kid and got picked on so much! Not only was I new, but I was also foreign, the shortest in the class, and smarter than 90% of my classmates because of the huge difference in teaching styles. But I survived!
• My biggest problem? Being fat and sassy. Still a problem lol
• #tqotd - Anonymous please! my younger brother had been diagnosed with a serious mental illness and was in and out of psychiatric hospitals. He is relatively stable now and living on his own but that time in my life really grew me up fast.
• Biggest problem when I was 11 was fighting off my step-father. He was a Bad, bad man ?? but thankfully the hell I endured young is over and my life today is amazing. Hope springs eternal!!
• Tqotd: At age 11 I was a white kid in a dominantly black population school. Looking back on this year of my life I see it as a major positive impact on my view of the world, but at the time I was completely out of my element and my teacher felt like a complete bully to me, her constant teasing of the students was so odd to me and I dreaded going to school every day worrying about what was going to happen to embarrass me that day. I was easily embarrassed and shy so this was not hard to do anyway. It was also a major year for impacting how I viewed my ability to do well on school work. The teacher misgraded my papers so often I was convinced I was terrible in school. My mom kept these papers and when I was in college she gave me this box of stuff from childhood. I looked at those papers and was aghast seeing papers with F’s on them where EVERY ANSWER was actually correct. So, yeah 11 was a huge year for me.
• Hey mine was my brothers always stealing my bike there r six of us kids and by the way fish I got a lot of likes on the best West Michigan looking man lmao

• I got hit in the forehead by two 2x4's after me and the neighbor's kid made a homemade catapult, the same week my brother broke his knee and my mom broke four of her toes and my dad broke his arm lifting weights, I haven't seen the neighbors kid ever since, I'm now 20

• ??My biggest problem @ 11, was twofold. I was conflicted about whether or not I would get in trouble, or if the librarian at the school would tell my mom of I checked out a "Teen" or a "Seventeen" magazine!!! (Because at 11, I was neither 17 nor a teenager!!!??) But I had a HUGE crush on this one boy, and he liked me too, and my bff was having a BOY AND GIRL birthday party!!! I had no idea how to kiss a boy, and I knew they planned on playing the "spin the bottle get locked together in the closet for one minute game". ...It took me weeks, but I worked up the courage to check them out, I hid them in my room like porn, and was ultimately REALLY disappointed!!! The magazines were NO help whatsoever, and we just held hands and whispered in the closet!!! I didn't get my first kiss for another year and a half or two...but it WAS with that same guy that I was crushing on that caused me all that stress over checking out stupid magazines from the library at 11!!????????

• You will laugh at this one. My biggest problem at 11 years old was that I found a really cool T-shirt with a cute little duck inside an egg on the front. The shirt said "I just got laid," and I couldn't understand for the life of me why my mom wouldn't let me wear it to school lol. I get it now.
• Having to wait for my sister to get off the phone so I could use the computer. Dial-up problems.
• Being too chubby to fit into a pair of Jordache jeans ??????
• Biggest problem was do I hang Shaun Cassidy poster or David Cassidy, or both!!
• My biggest problem was having to share the computer in 30-minute intervals so we could each get a turn playing The Sims. We had a schedule of who's turn it was and when for each day of the week so we couldn't argue about it. We had a serious addiction to The Sims (still do ??)
• #tqotd My biggest problem when I was 11 was acting like a normal person. I was a weird kid and that followed me through my life. It sucks because mostly I'm normal now and I feel I interact with people better now. But 11 year old me was a bit nut job and no one liked me.

I understand why she'd rather hang out with the guys!!

• My biggest problem when I was 11 years old was being made fun of on the school bus on the way home. This boy named Pat used to make fun of my nose every single day and told me that I look like Gonzo from the Muppets. It was so mean and I really didn't think I had a big nose but he told me every single day that I did. When it was in my early 20s I ended up getting a nose job. Did I need one? Probably not, but for some reason that stuck with me and that's how I saw myself. Kids can be mean! If my own children ever made fun of other kids like that...watch out! Love you guys!

• I would have to say my red hair. When I was younger redhead was not a cool thing to be. People made fun of my hair color ruthlessly. I would actually have adults come up to me and say I'd rather be dead than have a redhead when I was a little kid. It was ruthless. Now everyone thinks red hair is so cool and the greatest thing to have but back then ouch
• I lost my brother. It was really hard for me to understand and my family. It has been 13 years its still hard but we have traditions to help remember him
