I'm 16 and still have my imaginary friends
I have imaginary friends since I was young. I've had no friends. i only play with my mom or just myself,read books, play games, so I started to have imaginary friends and world. i talk to them always and play with them. Whenever I get bored I just think about my imaginary world. i would just close my eyes for hours and imagine about the world. There are huge skyscapers of candies, cotton candy clouds, my friends houses and their mobile numbers, and we have dinosaur pets. i have my own family there where I go to school and live my own life. These things didn't bothered me at all but i'm just worried because other teens didn't experienced like this. I consulted a doctor and said that there were things that are lacking in me (grew up with no siblings) Am I still normal?

I wouldn't go around telling everyone you meet that you still have imaginary friends. At your age, people are trying to figure themselves out and will jump at the chance to look down on someone to reassure themselves that they are 'cool'. That said, people mature at different rates so while you may grow out of it eventually, I say enjoy it while you still can. I never had imaginary friends but it sounds pretty awesome. With all your creativity maybe try writing out some of your adventures with them. I gurantee you that future you will enjoy reading them. And who knows, maybe you will become an awesome and successful writer. Just make sure to get out and interact with real people so you stay grounded in the real world. Best of luck, you sound pretty awesome, so keep it up.

You haven't given me enough information to fully understand with details whats going on here, other than you feel worried that you are not normal.
If I step back and look at this letter as a whole, it appears that you are a creative individual who is frustrated by a lack of outlets to express your creativity.
Obviously, in your situation, this is different from the norm but that doesn't mean that you are not normal. Many of the creative people and inventors of our history had greater focus on their creativitys and much less to none, on the friends and relationship interaction and yet they still contributed to society.
If you've seen a doctor and they have no real concerns, then may I suggest you focus on a outlet for your imagination either in art, drawing out what you see in your mind or writing detailed stories. It will be good therapy for you and you never know but your art or books may sell one day.
