I'm 16...and still have a teddy...

does anyone else?

its really bad because i dont just have it at night...i always carry it round when im in my bedroom. seriously, as i am typing this it is sitting there on my arm.
I know this all sounds so stupid, but its getting rediculous - I will sit there in my room staring into space and stroking it. ok that sounds REALLY wrong :rolleyes:

...its nothing like that(!)

I dont know what to do... :frown:

I want to get rid of it...or at least not use it as much. does anyone have any tips??

I'm 18 and can't sleep without the duvet cover that was on my bed when I was 7. I've had countless new duvet covers since there but I always keep this one separate. I sleep with it every single night and I take it to sleepovers and on school trips. All my friends know about it :biggrin:

I do what you do, I stroke it as like a comforter when I'm drifting off to sleep. And if I'm homesick I put it over my pillow so that I can smell it because it's familiar. Nowt to be ashamed of at all, it doesn't make you a bad person or anything!

Whats wrong with that. I've still got teddies from when I was young and from my bf, they have sentimental value!

I'm 20 and I HAVE to sleep with my teddy "Bongo" whom I've not spent a night away from since I got him when I was a young child. It's not (and never will be) at the point where I carry him round or sit stroking him, he just sits on my bed all day and by my pillow at night. It's not a crazy obsession or necessarily for comfort, just that I'm sentimental and he's travelled the world with me, heard my secrets and been there when I was ill when I was younger. I'm aware "he" is a stuffed toy and I'm under no illusions that he's real or that I'll keep him forever, but until I stop being so soppy, he'll always be around.

I'd say you're pretty normal, just don't let it get to crazy extremes... :yep:

I'm 20 and have a teddy!!
I cant sleep without it, but its not the sentiment of the teddy, i just cant seem to get comfy without something to cuddle. any bear would suffice!
I used to have a dolly, but it was really creepy, so i got a bear instead which isnt as weird ha.
Once i didnt take it when i went away and i couldnt sleep, so i tied my pashmina into a ball to cuddle. I think i just need something to cuddle as i've had it for as long as i can remember.

I used to keep my old bear at my boyfriends, and he got me one to keep with me at uni, and then when we're about to go to sleep i'll cuddle it ha, he used to say 'why cant you just cuddle me', but he isnt small and fluffy and doesnt fit under my chin, but he never minded or took the mick!

I'm 22 and I still sleep with 2 soft ducks. And one of them is called Little Yellow Ducky Wucky.

They're awesome.

If it got to the point when you HAD to have it at school and out with your friends then I'd be worried. But if it's just something you like to have there with you at home then I don't think you need to stress over it (:
