Do I have mental problems if...(sippy cup)?

Question

This truly is not a joke, I am 16 years old and I have a sippy cup, because its fun (is spongebob squarpants) and Its just convenient cuz when I wear lipstick nothing happens to my lips. I dont know if that is weird or not. Is there something wrong with that???

Answer 1

You're probably just hanging on to your childhood.  Everyone has something from their childhood that they can't let go.  Just as long as you don't openly share it with others.

Answer 2

Although some people may look at you weird if you're doing it out in public, there's really nothing wrong with it in particular.  When I was in college, there was a sort of fad started by someone trying to stop smoking -- she went around with a baby pacifier in her mouth, hung around her neck on a pretty ribbon.  Some of us in the dorm had "character" sheets and curtains, our favorite stuffed animals from home that we slept with, and we often sat around with our coloring books and crayons!  It's a great tension reliever!  (well, okay, some of us used the very high quality "poster books" and fine markers, but it's still coloring!)

Answer 3

Though nothing is wrong with that..its not something you want to openly share with friends and others.  If it satisfies your needs as a cup then use it..regardless of what its called ...only thing i can say is wrong is a baby bottle.

Answer 4

im 13 and i still drink out of a sippy cup becuase i like them and its like impossible to spill or get anything on ur clothes and my cuzin who is 15 still drinks out of one and she has no problem tellin ppl or anything and shes not a nerd or anything she is actually popular

Answer 5

depends..... are u a dude wearing lipstick or a girl wearing lipstick?

if your a dude, you got mental problems.

if your a chick you are ok =P everyone has their little kids things that they cant just let go. like personally i cant drink from a can =P i always use a straw and when i go in the car and want to bring somethign to drink i use my little sisters sippy cup its nothing bad =P btw im 15 and a dude so yea lolz

Answer 6

Sounds reasonable to me.  Do what makes you happy!

Answer 7

You may just be hanging on to your childhood.  It is strange to still be using a sippy cup and most adults do not use them.  I guess whatever floats your boat, but I'd stay away from using a sippy cup in public or if you have a guest.

Answer 8

As long as you only drink from it at home only. Do your friends see you and think your a dork? If so, then you may want to stop. Never ever take it out in public or you will look like a dork.  

Answer 9

Clearly, you just want to get attention for doing something like that.  So, no, theres nothing weird or wrong about wanting attention.  Especially because most 16 year olds will do pretty odd things to stand out and call negative and positive attention to themselves.  Good luck with that, I hope you get all kinds of people looking at you and talking about you!

Answer 10

sounds fine to me *shrugs*

Answer 11

Definitely creepy.

Answer 12

Not really, It's probably just a habit. You should really quit though. If you have problems doing so, just try slowly by getting a healthier habit, such as drinking from a straw that's in a cup or something. Then you could just work your way up. But no, you don't have mental problems, because I'm sure other people but you do that. ^_^

( Just ignore the people who are giving you offers for "something else to suck on". They're just immature idiots. )

Answer 13

no nothing is wrong with you .

your completely normal.

everyone has somthing from the childhood that they can't live without.

think about it sipppy cup ? mental? ahahha no.

&+ if its for you lipstick - thats goood .

Answer 14

its just a cup.

why would a cup determine if someone has mental problems....

Answer 15

Relax.  You have found a way to keep your lipstick on, and, well , SpongeBob isn't so bad.  Not everyone has to know about the cup. Enjoy and don't worry,  

Answer 16

As a speech-language pathologist, sippy cups are horrible for muscle development for speech production and oral-facial muscle tone.  A sippy cup uses the same muscles as sucking on a baby bottle.  At 16, it is not developmentally appropriate for you to be using this awful cup.  I don't even recommend a sippy cup for toddlers when I conduct a speech/language and feeding/swallowing evaluation.  If you're choosing to use a sippy cup, then my guess is that you are looking to draw attention to yourself or you have weak oral-facial muscles that make it difficult for you to drink out of a regular cup.  If the latter is true, you need to see a speech-language pathologist who specializes in oral motor therapy.  If you are purposefully trying to draw attention to yourself, consider seeing a counselor to explore why you want people to notice you.

If you don't really care if you're a "dork" or have "mental problems", or have convinced yourself that you're cool, then why are you asking this question?

Answer 17

Hey, if it makes you happy, than there's nothing wrong with it. It may seem weird to others but hey your right that does sound convenient, hey i should try it. :]  

Answer 18

As you said you use it because it's fun and also because you don't mess up your lipstick when you use it.

There's nothing wrong with it.

Some people may think that the fact that it's Spongebob Squarepants is weird but that's just one of the "little kid" things you like. Most people like something which is more of a "little kid" thing - just check out the amount of women/teen girls who wear Elmo, Mr Men, etc tops.

Answer 19

Yes, it a problem when a 16 year old uses a sippy cup.  Time to grow up.
