I feel childish how can i help it?

i have a bear named buddy ive had it about a year. it was a gift from my mom because i had an exact replica of buddy but it was a gift from my grandmother that i got when i was two but is in safe keeping now. they do not make these bears anymore. but i still cant sleep without it. i mean its not like i suck my thumb or anything but i use the bear as a pillow sort of. i cant sleep withoutit even when i go to a friends house. its embarrasing but my friends are reall nice and dont say anything. whats your oppinion and what should i do
Answer:
Everyone has a certain quirk to them. If you are happy when you sleep with your bear - regardless of what society says - then keep sleeping with it...but to become dependent on having your bear around so you can sleep may start to become a problem over time. Try changing it up and see if you can survive a night without your bear. Maybe put your bear on a shelf but not with you in the bed. Then gradually move the bear out of your room. Or, just keep sleeping with your bear. As long as you're happy, who is anyone to judge. We all have our quirks that only a few people who love us find endearing. The decision should be yours alone. Good luck! and Good night!

I agree with the girl above me, we all have something that puts us at ease and lets us sleep, if it makes u happy and lets u sleep at ease its ok to have it.

Keep in mind that a child is answering this question, but I do too. Anyway, if nobody minds that you do, you shouldn't feel embarrassed! Don't worry about it! ; )
