<p>I’m a guy. I initially didn’t bring my favorite stuffed animal since I didn’t really need it. However, when I arrived, my roommate had his teddy bear, and I felt left out. So, I brought mine the next time I went home.</p>
<p>I know people who are in theirs 40s who still have their favorite stuffed animals. As long as you’re not being ridiculous about it (i.e. bringing it to class and work), there’s no shame in bringing a stuffed animal.</p>
<p>Anyone who makes fun of you for having a stuffed animal has serious issues themselves and probably needs their favorite teddy bear much more than you do!</p>
