As you grow older you shouldnt keep so many teddy bears. Im 18 and i still have a few(only 4 or 5 i keep out around my apartment). The only ones that i kept are special. My parents paid over 100 dollars for a teddy bear when i was 13 that heats up and helps heal stomach aches. Ill never get rid of that one, but all the others i had are in storage. So at 12 I dont think its babyish to keep lots of teddy bears. Your still young. Enjoy it!

No, I still have almost all my stuffed animals and I'm almost 19. They are mostly all put up in a box or something. I don't sleep with them anymore (except occasionally when I get lonely cause my husband works nights) there's a little stuffed doggy I've had since I was like 3 in front of my keyboard right now. They make me feel good and remind me of a time I felt safe, loved, and any question about anything I had my mom could answer. I say keep them. I think anyone else who answers otherwise had their's taken from them or just weren't lucky enough to have any. My husband doesn't understand it, but again I don't think he ever had any or maybe just didn't get to keep them cause he was in foster care and moved a lot.

Wait until you get to college. Practically every girl walking into the dorm will be carrying a teddy bear. If they make you happy, keep them and don't worry about being "babyish."

No, it's not. It's you. If you like teddy bears, then you like teddy bears. I'm 21 and I collect Barbie's. I still have all of my Barbie Dolls out in my room and I have stuffed animals that practically cover my entire bed. So what? My friends don't care and if they did, that's their problem. Be unique!

I am gonna let you in on a secret here...all things in life change...but your teddy or blankie or stuffed pet are eternal. I am a mom and I still have my two or three most prized stuffed animals hanging around the house...way up high where my toddler cant get to them because they are way too special to me and she would destroy them lol. I also collect Boyd's Bears but not very seriously. It isn't baby-ish at all to keep around things you liked a lot when younger and still like some. If anyone gives you lip about it it is only because they are too insecure about their own possessions to understand that somethings aren't kept only in childhood.

A little but I know a lot of adults with stuffed toys. I know a 50 something lady who collects them. If you like them and want to keep them, then that's your business. I'm in my thirties and have kept my porcelain dolls and my Smurf collection from when I was a kid. It's okay to keep part of our past. You may one day want to give some of your teddy bears to your kids.
