Should I change my avatar and signature thingies to something a little more grown-up?  How do people perceive me by them? Do y'all think I'm childish?  And why do I keep getting perverts come into myspace and places assuming I'm a kid fit for grooming just coz all my pages are teddy bears, lovehearts, rose petals etc? Do I need to pretend I'm a proper grown-up and post yucky grown-up stuff?

I don't think that you should change . I personally like your teddy bears, and I don't really think it seems childish.

Depends on which causes you most pain I guess. I have a lot of interests and ideas so if someone doesn't like one or it gives me problems I move on to another. But I'll happily share the other side of your seesaw :-)

I wear Disney shirts in real life, and I always have a Disney avatar... don't worry about being grown up

I'd rather just be myself and take any flak that comes with it to be honest, I was just curious what ppl here think is all. |

Personally I like things that are "childish." Children are innocent and good...anything that reminds me of them makes me happy.
If more people acted like kids, the world would be a better place- less judgemental, more accepting, and full of kind hearts. Keep em!

K_J, I would hope that nobody here would judge someone by their avatar or sig. Personally, I try to ignore what other people think and focus instead on what I feel. If you like hearts and bears and that makes you happy, own it.

Keep you bears!! I love them they make me smile!! I don't have a problem with anyone's avatar or signauture..they are expressions of who we are!!
Oh FarmerFrank welcome to Pc!! To change your avatar go to my profile and in the drop menu there should be edit personal. When you get there scroll down and there should be a section about avatars..if you want to upload one there should be a option for it and a box where you input the file. Hope that works!! |

I wouldn't change a thing, if its truly a part of who you are leave it as is and ignore the pervs on myspace etc...
Besides it just reflects how sweet, huggable and cuddly you are, LOL Stay who you are always. You are my still my shero, teddy bears and all TJ |
