15 Year old with a Pacifier
I'm a 15 year old guy and, as I write this question, I have a pacifier in my mouth.
I was wondering, what do you think of a teenager secretly sucking on a pacifier?
Do you think I am normal? What should I do?
Thanks

I personally like to chew/suck on things, so I'm usually chewing gum or something. But the whole pacifier thing, though may satisfy the urge to have something in your mouth, probably isn't cool. Pacifiers should be taken away from children when they start growing thier teet, because the action of sucking on something in that position of your mouth is bad for your teeth - it can make them crooked and bent, and loosen your gums. So, ditch the pacifier and put something else in your mouth, like gum.

You are absolutely normal. What you describe is linked back to something in your early childhood and your "oral phase". For what ever reason, your brain has chosen not to let go of that as a self comforting method. I would recommend that if you want specific answers that you see a licensed professional counselor of some type. Most of them are awesome people and can really help you get to the root of your questions. Do not worry about people finding out. Counselors are bound by law to keep your privacy and can face very serious consequences if they don't. No one will ever know. Are you able to talk to one or both of your parents to see if they could set up an appointment. You don't even have to tell them what's going on if you don't want to. Just assure them everything is ok and nothing bad or harmful is or has happened to you. Just that you want to talk some things out with a professional. I hope it all works out for you. If it doesn't there is always Google. Just make sure the information on the websites are from reputable sources! Again...there is absolutely positively NOTHING wrong with you!!!

Strange, but hey, we all have our quirks. As long as it doesn't affect your everyday life, do whatever you like.

You are 15 years old, You are too old to be sucking a pacifier
Most people grow out of that before the age of 5..
My viewpoint, It is immature and childish

It's strange.. but I think that it's pretty awesome. Try switching that out with a sucker..
I don't know about other girls, but I'm always attracted to a guy with a sucker or lollipop.. it means their a good kisser.. most of the time :p

so my adivce is to try to break the habit. not for others sake though.
i try not to get what others think about me get me down but in reality it hits me hard.
its awesome that you are open about it (even if its just advicenators that know).
well i think that you should try to break the habit so that you arent dependable of it and so that others dont hurt you about it.
my habit im trying to break is biting my nails so i try to chew gum whenever i can.
you should try it too.
