Like most kids, I too believed in Santa. Every year when Christmas rolled around, I would hang socks with a wish on the windowsill. Waking up next morning to find gifts was probably my most cherish-able memory. Until one day, I saw my parents putting in those gifts. That was the day I realized Santa wasn't real.

Adult Hypocrisy has shattered the innocence of childlike behavior since as children grow , they tend to mature and mold themselves according to there circumstances, Once we are adults we need to be diplomatic , and we can’t follow the right principles everytime as we are responsible and our main goal is to achieve the best for our loved ones , This leads to Hypocrisy in the eyes of children , and children don’t tend to understand this and it shatters there innocence.

I used to be extremely quiet and used to cry at almost everything. i would never of my own choice try to communicate with others of my age. I also believed in the tooth fairy but that belief was quickly shattered when i saw my dad sneaking in my room to keep coins under my pillow. I guess that was the day i lost my childhood.

I thought tooth fairy existed and I used to keep my teeth underneath my pillow everytime I lost it, and I received a small gift everytime I did that. I think I matured when I didnt tell my parents that I lost my tooth and the next day I didnt find any gift so it was obvious that my parents were only putting the gift and no tooth fairy existed.

1. I was a very naive child. I used to believe every little fantasy anyone would tell me. My biggest belief was that santa existed.
2. I believe I lost my childhood when I started getting a sense of my responsibilities and realized that most of my beliefs were just imaginary.

Innocence means purity and we always associate children with innocence.

Childhood is the happiest period in the life of a person where we are free from all the responsibilities and burdens. One of the things that come to mind when we think of innocence is children. When I was a child, I believed that babies were dropped by storks to parents who really wanted kids.

Growing up,I was a very innocent and gullible child.I was always very obedient and disciplined.I had an extremely fun time in my childhood.My childhood was filled with love,guidance and care.I lost my childhood the day I learn that I had to be responsible and learn to be independent in not just studying but also going to the bus stop alone.I miss the freedom and innocence of my childhood

as a child, I was extremely pampered, since I was the last child, last grandchild, and last niece in my family. That being so, I wasn't much aware of my responsibilities. I was very innocent and i couldn't differentiate much between truth and false.

When I was in my childhood I was very innocent. I used to believe everything. My parents used to say that if you keep your broken teeth under your pillow while sleeping, you would find money under your pillow the next morning. I came out of my childhood and became mature when I realised that none of this was real.

I had a very positive childhood. One of my memorable experiences include me chasing my brother and kind of ruining his birthday party. My parents always tried their best to provide me with the best of everything and I could not be more grateful. My parents would only say white lies to me to prevent me from doing something dangerous. I have lost my innocence but since I am not yet an adult, I’d say I still have a bit of that childhood like innocence.

I had a fun filled childhood with long lists of hilarious stories to share. These experiences made me an extremely outgoing and extrovert child who was always ready for an adventure. However, now I don't consider myself as extroverted as I was since started to realize that everyone in your life may not come with a good motive.
