When did you stop playing with Barbies? Why did you stop?

"Honestly I was 15, I stopped because I naturally grew out of it. I used to get worried thinking I was the only one who played Barbies up until that age, maybe I was. I suppose I was becoming an adult so just gradually stopped."

Has playing Barbies as a child affected who you are today?

"I have realised that I am pretty much the same now as I was as a child. Without Barbies to play with I may have been outdoors a lot more and could of been more active now as an adult, but I feel playing with Barbies allowed me to see what life would be like as an adult. As we all viewed Barbie as an adult, right?"

When did you stop playing Barbies? Why did you stop?

"I stopped playing with Barbies around 4th or 5th grade. My friend who I usually played with at that time "grew out" of playing Barbies, so we just generally stopped."
