Meeting My Inner Child

I had to write a three and a half page essay on how to help my inner child out with problems I actually faced when I was younger, making myself about ten years older than I currently am to do the exercise. The problems talked about are kind of touchy for me, so please, no hate on this. I had to work up a lot of courage to even talk about some of this stuff in front of the class, since this was also to be a speech subject and we had to publicly announce how things happened in front of the class of about twelve or thirteen people including the teacher.
