Being unwell I mean is rather nice and a little enjoyable for small children. Illness is very common among them. It has certain advance for their thinking such as not being away from school or some kind of educational center. But the best one is that they won’t have to do any housework or anything else. When it comes to me as a little girl I felt being sick is a good thing. But after I took bitter medications and medicinal shots I quickly changed my mind. Back in time which I was under the weather in cold days I completely remember that it happened on December 21st. It was snowing heavily at that time despite the freezing. We used to snow at each other. This game was between girls and boys so while I was making snow someone filled my hoodie with much more snow. It’s a beginning I didn’t care about it but little by little my body became cold, my head hurt to me point of unbreakable. I don’t remember how I got home. My mother beat me and some hit me. 10 days I just slept. I didn’t want to watch TV or play on the phone. I wish I could get better soon. I’m not in favor of my previous opinion. When I grew up I realized that being sick is not good for adults because you have to take care of yourself. Your parents ignore you. They don’t pay attention to your health. They don’t tell you what’s wrong. Just be self-care. That’s my decision.

Being unwell is rather nice and a little enjoyable for small children. Illness is very common among them. It has certain advantages for their thinking, such as not being away from school or some kind of educational center. But the best one is that they won't have to do any housework or anything else. When it comes to me as a little girl, I felt being sick was a good thing. But after I took bitter medications and medicinal shots, I quickly changed my mind. I remember that I was under the weather on cold days, and it happened on December 21st. It was snowing heavily at that time despite the freezing temperatures. We used to throw snow at each other. This game was between girls and boys, so while I was making snowballs, someone filled my hoodie with snow. In the beginning, I didn't care about it, but little by little, my body became cold, and my head hurt to the point of being unbearable. I don't remember how I got home. My mother scolded me, and some hit me. For 10 days, I just slept. I didn't want to watch TV or play on the phone. I wished I could get better soon. I'm not in favor of my previous opinion. When I grew up, I realized that being sick is not good for adults because you have to take care of yourself. Your parents ignore you. They don't pay attention to your health. They don't tell you what's wrong. Just self-care. That's my decision.
