    What interests or hobbies did you once have but now don't appeal to you in the slightest?

    When I was in my early teens I loved wrestling. Now I would find it very hard to watch the current stuff. Maybe it's gotten sh*t or I just grew out of it.

    But saying that I bet there's still people on here who haven't grown out of the stuff they liked when they were younger, please enlighten us.. Come on, own up, you with the Pikachu pyjamas step forward :)

    Beating the crap out of bunches of nettles and thorns which had wronged me with sticks, even though saying that it doesn't sound wholly unappealing!

    Wrestling. I used to love it but it's just like a glorified soap nowadays, I can't stand most of the new people and the gimmicks.

    That's probably the only childhood interest of mine that I've given up on.

    My childhood consisted of phases of obsessions where I'd be madly into something and have to learn everything about it but then I'd lose interest in it after 6 months to a year.

    Examples were (in no particular order):

    Pokemon
    Flags
    Kings and Queens
    Premier League Squads
    WWF Wrestling
    The Titanic
    Cars

    Indeed. There was so many variations, that magazine was ahead of it's time.

    Drama clubs and auditioning for west end musicals.

    My sister constantly told me I was a crap singer. Many auditions later and I realised she was right.

    Oh god I was the exact same! I loved my drama clubs though I remember some of the singing auditions I did with extreme embarrassment!

    I was hooked on it when it was the good old WWF, a glorified soap and one for a older audience too.

    You had DX, the Nation and the Corporation cutting about. Thrown in was some cheap character development and the stupidest of storylines. Ah good times.

    Ugh I also had a book called "Spells for teenage witches", I tried a money spell one day and 20 minutes later my granny who never came to our house arrived with 40pounds for me!
    My dad found me and a friend in my bedroom surrounded by candles doing a spell, went crazy and threw all my witchy things away :( that was the end of that!
