ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

102 Comments | Add Yours

I'm too old to sleep with a stuffed animal!

 

Check these out, too...

  • Can you stay friends after just one kiss?
  • I have no talents. Why am I so boring?
  • How can I turn my attitude around?
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • YOLO or "Oh, no"? When taking a risk is the right thing to do
I sleep with a stuffed animal. How can I break apart from my comfort-giver?

 

Dear Age 13,

You’re not the only 13-year-old who still cuddles up with a stuffed bear. Sleeping with an animal for comfort is not like sucking your thumb or dragging a blankie around. Give yourself a break! Soon enough, you’ll probably change your ways without even trying. If you still want to break the habit, put your animal on a shelf or at the end of your bed instead of right next to you. Grab a pillow if you need something to hold.

Hey hinatagal, well none of your friends can see you when you sleep at night, so grab your Teddy girl. I don't think there's anything wrong with sleeping with a stuffed animal. I used to sleep with Minnie Mouse and I was a freshman in college, so no worries. Xoxo

When I was in 7th grade (just finished 8th grade and going into high school when school starts) I slept with a teddy bear and cut myself, I stopped cutting myself when I started seeing the social worker at my school she really helped me. At sometimes I'm thinking about cutting but don't because the counselor told me whenever I get the thought think positive or do something I love.
But I took my teddy bear to my friends sleepover just to sneak it in and I was caught it was so EMBARRASSING so I stopped but now I miss sleeping with it. Lynae P.
