What do you remember about being ten years old?

Did you feel closer to being a child, or a teenager? Or did you feel inbetween? Did you feel understood? Were you often daydreaming about your future life, or more caught up in your present?

Update:

These answers are thoughtful and helpful. Thank you.

    I felt like I was a child, and I feared being a teenager, and growing old. I think that I was so much of a child that I didn't understand that much around me and I was driven my my impulses, fears, etc. At that time, I knew I had a lot of time to sort my future out, and that junior high and high school were a long time away. I had certain things I liked and there were certain things I wanted. That's what I remember. After so many years, I don't feel like the same person.

    Well at 10 years old I had nieces and nephews I would help take care of and my sister would actually pick me up and have me come stay with her one or two nights just to help with her new baby (she was 16) so she could get some rest. So I would say at 10 I felt a lot more grownup because of that. I was changing the diapers, fixing bottles and doing baby baths by that point. The more I did it the more I looked forward to having my own baby some day.

    I don't remember much about being 10. I know I enjoyed school a lot, and I felt that I was soooo much older with each passing year. I thought I was on top of the world! Haha, obviously that has changed.

    I felt more like a teen because thats what I wanted to be =] I felt understood then. I was caught up in the present.

  • hmm, that was...5 years ago...um, I think I was in 4th grade..

    I remember my parents fighting a lot. I was really caught up in the present and past. I felt closer to being an adult. I was left home alone a lot and had to take care of myself.

    except for the fact that my mom had just married my.. 3rd? step dad and i hated my life
