I'm training to be a teacher at the moment and so often the kids in my classes come up to me and blurt out their "troubles" : my shoes are the wrong colour, mummy said I can't play with Fred today, I didn't want my pudding, my daddy spilt tea on my school bag etc etc. The things they tell me seem so important to them and any problem experienced by them seems like the end of their world. How I wish I felt like this! As a child I coulnd't wait to be "big" but now that I am, and especially at this time with my problems, I find myself wishing to be part of their world again and having these little worries rather than huge student loans, too much work and days that are so black that I just want to end it all and get away.
