They didn't actually even have a vaccine for it when I was a kid. I got it in first grade if I remember right. Apparently it's much worse to get it as an adult.
I should add my mom didn't deliberately do it, but I caught it at school because it's highly contagious and an epidemic of it was happening at the time. I guess public school is (or was, now they have a vaccine) a de facto pox party!

That's what you're supposed to do, it stops you getting it when you're an adult when it can kill you

It really isn't what you are "supposed" to do. It can kill you as a child too, it's just statistically less likely. Childhood exposure to the virus is just a convenient solution in the absence of actual medical remedies. Childhood chickenpox infections lead to other health concerns later in life.

By that logic, you shouldn't give a shit about contracting it at all. If you want to try to get all the diseases to prove how strong you are, then by all means go ahead.
