What was John Lennons Childhood like?
John Lennon was born Oct. 9th 1940 to Julia Lennon (1914-1958) and Alfred Lennon (1912-1976) at Oxford Street Maternity Hospital and attended Mosspits as a young child. Alfred did not see his child until November, when he returned from work as a merchant seamen and offered to look after Julia and their son but Julia declined. John lived with Julia at 9 Newcastle Rd. until 1946, when Julia's sister Mimi reported Julia to Child Services for a third time. Mimi and her husband George Smith were subsequently given custody. It was around this time when Alfred kidnapped John with intentions to emigrate to New Zealand but his plot was foiled by Julia. Alfred would not see his son again until after John became famous. Regardless, Mimi and George gave Lennon a good home and George taught young John how to read, write and how to do crossword puzzles. Mimi was strict and discouraged John from pursuing music. Julia on the other hand encouraged her son, taught him the banjo and ukulele and bought John his first guitar. George died of a liver hemorrhage when Lennon was about thirteen. John Lennon lived at 251 Menlove Ave until 1963. Although Lennon was a bright child, by the time John attended Quarrybank Grammar School Lennon frequently got into trouble in school, and was considered a "class clown". He later said this was because he felt more clever than his teachers (John's I.Q. was 165: gifted and advanced). Also contributing was his very poor eyesight (without glasses, Lennon was legally blind). When John was kicked out of Quarrybank his teacher recommended he attend the Liverpool College of Art. Although John lived with Mimi, he began spending weekends with Julia and her boyfriend (and their two daughters), until she was killed by a drunk off duty police officer when John was seventeen. When John decided to take up music, Mimi told him repeatedly "The guitar's all right, John, but you'll never make a living at it." (When the Beatles became famous, he presented her with a silver plaque, engraved with those same words). Mimi would later admit that she "never wanted children, but always wanted John".

Was John Lennon family supportive of his dreams?
His mother Julia only got to see him perform onstage once; he sang "Be-Bop-A-Lula" with his first band, the Quarry Men. His father wasn't around, and his Uncle George had already passed away.
His Aunt Mimi definitely wasn't supportive of his becoming a musician, telling him again and again "The guitar's all very well, John, but you'll never make a living at it." After the Beatles became famous, he presented her with a silver platter, engraved with those words.
Mimi later claimed to have bought Lennon his first guitar, though he always insisted it was a gift from his mother.
"When I was five years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "HAPPY". They told me I didnt understand the assignment and I told them they didnt understand life." ~John Lennon
