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."

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

"When I was in grade seven. Probably because grade eight was high school and it wouldn't be cool to still be playing Barbies."
