When I was a kid... I had a number of looks. You can see the changes over time in these photos both physically and personality-wise. Some of these photos were taken in Ohio, some in Washington State and the rest were in other places in the US.
Overall, my childhood was one big mixed bag. One of those "Is what it is" situations. It was better than some, worse than others... definitely grew up in the lower class areal of wealth but whatever... material items and blah blah blah. At least I had a SNES and PlayStation at some point... heh.
Hope you liked the Onision photo gallery... still miss that quad I got to ride as a kid :)
