So when it was the last day of 6th grade, my two friends and I decided to do something special to mark our entrance into middle school. So we chose to jump from the structure that covered the lunch benches. I would say this is a good 8 feet off the ground. The landing zone was thick grass.
It took a good hour of courage after getting up the contraption for me to jump. The jump was high enough where I felt butterflies in my stomach before I landed. Being in 6th grade and supple, as soon as I landed, my body rolled a few times, and I was ok. I did this about 3 times.
Now comes the "it still affects me part". I can't jump more than 2 feet off the ground without feeling this stinging pain in my tailbone. It happens so rarely (after all, who jumps from high places often?) that I keep forgetting to see a doctor about it. I hope it's nothing serious. Maybe a hairline fracture.
So what about you guys? Anything you did at a young age that still affects you? Could be mental or physical.

I remember being locked in a room by a cousin when I was about 6 or 7 years old. Banging on the door calling for help did not help so I decided to find another way out. The house was on stilts and the floor was maybe only about four feet off the ground. So I opened the window to make the jump to freedom. However the window sill was at least another four feet off the floor making that an eight foot drop if I stood on the window. Needless to say I fell on my face on the solid ground below and I bit right through my tongue in the process. This affected my speech and I could not talk properly for more than a year after that fall. I stuttered through every word and forming whole sentence at a time was a real struggle. However at that time, I do remember knowing exactly what I wanted to say, but the words just would not come out. It was a horribly frustrating experience. Of course I have long since recovered from that. Now I just cannot stop talking... ;-) -

Nothing now,.... I had lots of fears, but before my education degree, I learned a lot about thought processes and all that is gone for ever now, I have become new now. -

When I was 6 or 7 years old, I was alone in my grand ma's room, with a big window facing a very small private garden. It was night and dark outside, when suddenly I saw a man and little girl dancing in the garden, that should be empty. I run out from the room, and until now, I've always been a chicken shit, never has the courage to go to a dark place alone, sleep with a light on if i have to sleep alone, and can't stand to hear horror stories. -
