What about stuffies?

We all have a furry fake friend.

I have a stuffed animal and honestly, it’s my support. It’s always there when I’m sad and when I want to sleep. I feel like if you have something that was given to you by someone special that you still have from a long time ago you should not be ashamed to still own a stuffed animal. We all have something that comforts us in our house. We should be proud of it.

Stuffed animals are more like your family or best friend. Friends don’t always stay; they can stay as long as you want. Stuffed animals are like support animals but this one you can squeeze without hurting it. Everybody should have something that makes them feel safe. And makes them happy when they’re sad,or scared.“ They may not be real but they were my first best friend.’That is what I told my parents when I was about 9 because that’s when I realized something doesn’t have to physically be there to make you feel better.

Stuffed animals and my baby blankets have been with me since day one and no matter how torn opr old and broken they are. They are still there. They don’t just disappear. “Friends come and go but this is for life.”- Phoebe Buffay. We can choose to keep or give away our stuffed animals. We can’t choose with friends because it’s not always up to us. And it’s nice to know that you yourself have control over something.

In conclusion, I believe everybody should have a stuffed animal, just to survive this cruel world.
