Was Prince crazy as a child?

Sounds like although he was brilliant in music as a youngster, he admitted that he is crazy. Did he display mental problems as a child, or was he just painfully shy? Is he considered a little mentally off now?

I recently met a lady who was his kindergarten or first grade teacher (I forget which) and she said he was a very sweet, shy, well-mannered, polite, and intelligent little boy. She said he left an impression on her even at that age and she taught for many years.

Awww that is so cute. So he has been this way his whole life? Some ppl say that him being shy is just a public stunt. But I always suspected thats the way he REALLY was. eye love prince

bored Anbody else got sumthin interesting to share?...okay, I'll go first. I believe that there are 2 kinds of ppl in this world. The Observers and the do-ers. The observer just observes and takes in everything like a sponge and learns. The do-er learns from hands on experience, their always involved. I am an observer. I have been this way since I was little. My teachers gave me the exact same description when I was young. I like to observe before I jump right in. innocent

She even mentioned being surprised that his name was Prince when she read it on the student roll. smile But she was very complimentary about his behavior and demeanor when he was little, and he was little. nod lol

As the owner of a 4 year old daughter, yes... Prince was crazy as a child.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Are you suggesting that Prince is an observer, rather than a doer?

Mere observers don't make it to the heights he's ascended.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Thanks, I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who have crazy children and think that he was crazy as a kid. I have a 4 and 3 year old and they both are boys...They take risks everyday, singing, dancing, jumping off of high places...LOL! lol They are some characters!

Prince was not a crazy child. No child is crazy. They're just being children. But children do grow up to be crazy adults. Remember, Jeffrey Dahmer and the Uni-bomber had parents and teachers too who thought they was sweet or shy. It depends on the child surroundings and who raises them to really consider if they're going to be crazy or not. You're not born crazy. In some sort of way we're all crazy but to a certain extent. Some more than others. We all have more than one side but it's up to that individual to what side will take over. Besides, Prince, even though he was shy and some times reclusive, did have a some what pretty normal childhood. He had friends he played with. Whether it was basketball or music. He has bunch of brothers and sisters who helped watch and raise him. 2 loving parents(although at times a difference with John L.) and a loving step-father. So, despite being a prodigy of sorts he like most children have they ups and downs growing up and that is normal not crazy unless your like Doogie Howser or something. They say most genuises are crazy in their own way. That could possibly be true but will never know that about Prince. Unless he shoots or kills somebody like O.J. or Phil Spector.
Peace and be wild!

nod Yes, foine AND talented. Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great were also epileptic and they did okay. Except, of course that whole being murdered by their rivals. In that case, Prince doesn't have anything to worry about cuz I KNOW he could kick Michael Jackson's ass. LOL! lol

The high heels don't hurt either. lol But if it's a dance off like in Beat It or Bad, Princey might be in trouble cuz MJ be coming with a gang of dancers, literally, and Prince only has the anemic looking Twinz. Not a fair match, but I'd pay big money to see that shit! nod bitchfight

What? Prince would pick up the (borrowed) Batphone & call up the NPG & The Revolution. Just by the outfits alone they'd kick the asses of MJ's subway gangsters. boxing Plus Wesley Snipes can't back up MJ anymore 'cause he has to keep his nose clean with all those tax issues he's having. lol
