ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

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

 

Check these out, too...

  • 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
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
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.

Don't worry! I always sleep with 4 or more stuffed animals and I uses to sleep with 20. (yeah, kind of crowded!) but I love my animals. Nothing to be ashamed of!
