Ive never had it but you know, its good to have It at an early age because you really dont feel it much but as you get older it will be worse when you get it. Sometimes you will have it and no even know it. Theres also sometimes chicken pox parties for little kids, when one little kid has it, other moms bring their kids so they can catch it and get it over with. I hope that helped because Ive never had, at least I dont think.
