I sleep with my bear and I'm 16. Am I weird??

Question

I'm 16 and I occasionally sleep with a teddy bear that I have had for maybe 8 or so years. I am the type of person who loves to give hugs and cuddle people so that may be why I like to sleep with one when I'm in my bed.

Does anyone else do the same?

Answer 1

Well if you were a boy then maybe

Answer 2

Answer 6

Hey girl, I'm 16 too and I sleep with loads of stuffed animals in my bed every night.  A lot of my friends do too. Even when I go to a friends house to sleep over, I always take at least one stuffed animal with me. Your not weird, don't worry!

Answer 7

Of course not! Plenty of adults still do that. Don't worry about it. :)

Answer 8

Answer 9

I am w-a-a-a-a-y older than you and I sometimes bring my favorite stuffed Tiger to bed with me.  This usually happens when I'm feeling sad.  

Answer 10

You definitely are not weird!!

Many people sleep with special items (bears, frogs. pictures, blankets, etc)

The only thing that I might be concerned about is if you are using the bear to "stuff" your feelings. This might happen if there is some sort of mental illness that you have not dealt with. (I will also abmitt that I don't always believe in this theory but there are some who would put all their eggs in this basket)

I am a lot older than you (more than double your age) and I sleep with a monkey that a friend got for me in January when I was in the hospital. Before that I slept with a frog for many years.

This is not something that you should spend much time worring about. Be glad if this is all that you have to worry about, you are doing a lot better than some teens!!!
