No, I most certainly am not the same person I was when I was a kid. Life will change you, sometimes for good, sometimes not. I'd like to think the events of my past helped me become the honest true person I am now. I had many troubles growing up, personality disorders pushed many of my close friends away and I was bullied for many years. I hid in my own shell for a while with games being my only escape from reality. I eventually got sick of it all and started to stand up for myself and stood my ground, no matter how hard I was pushed. The events of my past only made me stronger. I no longer shy away from others, I now eagerly forge my own path and controls who comes into my life. There is nothing wrong with change, we wouldn't be human otherwise.
It is best to have failure happen early in life. It awakens the phoenix in you so you can create a new life for yourself from the ashes
