    As someone who has taken a lot of developmental psych classes, I can tell you that this obsession/repetition phase is very common in adolescence. I taught middle school, and have had students who were obsessed with specific countries, bands/singers, colors, animals, celebrities, beverages, foods etc. You name it, and I can guarantee an 11-14-year-old somewhere has spent a LOT of time on it. I think there's something almost comforting about it to our brains at that age. No need to be embarrassed--best to just have a good laugh at your younger self and move on.

      "Obsession/repetition phase" is not a "phase" at all 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ it is something all humans do all throughout their lives, it's just as common place in adulthood, as it is in our younger years 👌🏻✌🏻 we don't grow out of these types of behaviours.

      Yes, adults still have obsession/repetition in their lives, to differing degrees depending on their personalities, but the extent to which adolescents get obsessed is usually quite different. For example, a 12-year-old crushing on a celebrity can take lengths (putting up walls of photos, trying obsessively to meet them in person, learning every detail of that person's life) that, if an adult were to do the same things would be considered stalkerish and creepy. Maybe stage is a better word than phase, but you missed my point entirely. It's normal to be fixated/obsessed with things, especially at the 11-14-year-old age. Adults, however, should have learned to regulate their fixations and obsessions in a way that it doesn't completely absorb all their extra resources (free time, social energy and finances). If they can't, it can very negatively impact their lives.

    As a fish tank girl with five bettas with 20 gallon tanks, i cannot relate to regretting telling others not to be abusive fish keepers. 😂 i dont bully anyone, but bettas deserve better. Theyre bred by the millions to live short, agonizing lives forgotten in tiny containers not fit for any animal to live in. Regret the bullying, maybe, but never apologize for loving and advocating for animals who cant advocate for themselves.

      It's a big problem in Denmark too, my dad was a fish tank guy his entire life, and one time he actually went ham on the manager of a Chinese restaurant because they had 25+ giant koi goldfish in one of those flat screen shaped tanks that are basically only fit for cherry shrimps and a couple plants. Normal goldfish need like 7-15 gallons to themselves, but these were like 8 times the size and they barely had 3 gallons each. We never ate there again and my dad called animal control, who said they didn't know what to do. Pet shops here also sometimes sell bali shark fry and try to tell people they don't get bigger, but they do.

    I once had a fish tank full of fish. Turns out, the filter was too large for the tank so many of them met their demise in the grates of the filter. The others? Well...they met their fate inside of a fish named Tito. All except one: Phyllis. Tito and Phyllis were both strong. But obviously, Tito was a bully. His existence pissed me off. I shat talked Tito every day. Well...one day, I came home from class and my cat, Howard, was sitting in the dining room...still as can be...looking up at me in such a way, it made me concerned. Then I saw him...Tito...laying dead on the ground in front of Howard. Howard had had enough of Tito's shit. Did he eat him? No. He played and poked Tito till his very last breath. Phyllis was the lone survivor. Howard loved Phyllis. And Phyllis, Howard. Phyllis lived for EIGHT YEARS. She lived in four different apartments with me and Howard. She died in 2016 at the ripe old age of eight. How I loved that fish. I will never have a fish again. No one could ever top the awesomeness that was Phyllis. 🐟

    Here's a long one!....I think I was around 11 years old when I was obsessed with this boy in my class. He was super popular though and I most definitely was not. After weeks of watching him from afar and writing about him in my diary, I finally worked up the nerve to write him a love letter. But I was going to do it anonymously. I was too afraid to straight out say it was me. My hope was that he would become obsessed with this mysterious girl who sent him a letter. To the point where he could only think of her and when I finally revealed it was me, he would fall madly in love with me XD Being in a time before home computers and printers were common, I asked my mom to write the letter for me so he wouldn't recognize my handwriting (Looking back now, I don't know how he would have, LOL). It was super embarrassing because my mom giggled her head off the entire time and kept asking to put super lovey-dovey quotes into it....
    The next day I waited to put the note in his desk (our grade was the last year before we got lockers, so our only storage was the cubby under the desk.) We always had a bathroom/drink break at the same time, and this became part of my plan. I wanted everyone to leave the class so I could go past his desk (which happens to be in the opposite direction for me to leave) and slip the note in. Unfortunately, some kids stayed behind. I waited so long for them to leave that other kids started to come back. I knew my window of opportunity was closing, so I just hurried over to his desk, tossed it in and quickly left to get a drink.... I *thought* I had made it without being seen. Boy was I wrong....
    Not long after, we all went to gym. My crush approached me, letter in hand. He asked nicely if I gave it to him, but I saw all his friends standing back and laughing their heads off. I quickly realized I had just made the worst mistake ever. He wasn't going to reciprocate my feelings; I was about to be set up to be teased mercilessly. So, I did what any self-respecting tween would do...and lied through my teeth. Nope, not me, I did not write that. (not a total lie, since my mom technically wrote it, LOL). Crush then stood in front of the class and asked who sent him the letter. He wanted to know since it was so sweet. I kept my lips sealed even though everyone's eyes were on me. A few moments later, one of his friends and most popular mean-girl in the class, jumped up and said, "It was me! I did it! I like you!".... It was so blaringly obvious that they were trying to pull a reverse psychology trick and get me to say, 'No you didn't! I did!', but I wasn't going to fall for that. I continued to stay quiet.
    Finally, the day ended, and I crossed his name out of every diary entry that mentioned him, vowing to never like him again...Instead, I started to crush on his best friend! Thankfully, I learned my lesson and never sent him a love letter!

    Toni I was also a #twihard, I had a shrine of Twilight posters (cutouts from magazines and printed photos) on my bedroom wall above my bedhead, and I was a forum gal (I spent every day on Twilighters Anonymous)💀. Twilight was my entire personality between ages 12-15, and tapered off around 16. What makes matters worse is that I was that unpopular kid in Year 7 with underdeveloped social skills whose only friend was in the year below, so I was bullied anyway and then I became obsessed with Twilight, before the movies came out, so everyone in my class bullied me for it and even wrote "Twilight sucks" all over my Year 7 leavers shirt when everyone was signing their goodbye messages. The kicker is, when I got to high school at the start of Year 8, a couple months after the first movie was released, my primary school bullies ran up to me going "Zosia!! We watched Twilight and it's AMAZING!!" 😡😡
    Also, my twilight obsession makes sense in hindsight now knowing I was an undiagnosed lil ADHDer (and now provisionally registered psychologist).

    Okay, so my obsession was with Nick Carter from the backstreet boys. I wish I could say I was 13, but I was like 23 years old. Back then we couldn't see our fave celebs on youtube, so when they came on tv, you had to get a VHS tape to record it, so you could watch it over and over. I remember being at my boyfriends who looked just like Nick and finding out the Backstreet boys were going to be on TV and I called my mom and told she had to tape it. I lost it when she said she wouldn't. (Again I'm 23 years old) So my bf who looked like Nick, cheated on me. I no longer find Nick Carter attractive but I think that's due to my ex. He ruined Nick Carter for me lol.

      Omg, I totally did the vhs recording thing. But my obsession was with a pro wrestler. Every match or interview or any air-time he had, I had to press record as soon as it started. Lol. I still have those stupid tapes somewhere. I still think he's hot, but I did stop being obsessed. Eventually. Hehe.

    As a teenager, I was balls-to-the-walls OBSESSED with the musical CATS. I gave all of my friends CATS names like Tumblebrutis and Bombalurina, made them watch the pro-shot on repeat, and would dance alone in my room to the choreography (not a dancer). This all culminated in me being cast in an abridged, dubbed production of CATS on Ice the summer before college (not a figure skater). Today, I'm still ready to die on a hill for CATS and will shoot down any ties to the 2019 film. Fuck the film!!

    For me it was Taylor Lautner.... I had a to scale cardboard cut out of him from the twilight movies- the kind of card board cut outs you get from the movie theater. This cardboard character stood in my bedroom for 6 years, and I would take time each week to dust it. Sometimes I would talk to it- not full conversations but like the young teenage idyllic "what do you think of my outfit?" on my way out the door for school in the morning.... I was in high school. I was a senior in highschool asking cardboard if it liked my outfit. Halloween of my senior year, I put on a really big fake engagement ring and the most expensive clothes I owned, which in the 2010's included leapord print, and carried the cardboard cut out of Taylor Lautner around. I told everyone that for Halloween I was Taylor Lautners wife. I went to a summer camp ever year, and my senior year of highschool year I took the cardboard cutout with me. I was ruthlessly made fun of, to the point that the counselors wanted me to fold him up and store him under my bunk because they were sick of me yelling at people saying reasonable comments like "aren't you too old for that?" and "why do you even have that?" I always passionately defended my obsession with the purple rage fits a nerd takes to defending dnd. I didn't actually fold up the damn cardboard cutout until the week OF MY WEDDING..... I figured..... well I'm not marrying him, so I should do my future husband a favor and go ahead and discard him. I was 20. 20 years old before I threw it away.

    i had a crush on a 9th grade boy that was the captain of the swim team who looked like a professional surfer/model. i was in 7th grade and the moment i saw him i was in love. so one day at lunch his friend caught me starting at my crush and he tapped his friend and pointed at me. i was mortified and looked down at my lunch table. the next day i got a note from one of the popular girls who bullied me in P.E. i nervously i opened the note and unexpectedly it was from my crush and he had gave me his phone number. i was so happy and excited but my sister reminded that my bully could have found out about me looking at my crush and decided to mess with me so they could bully me more if i called the number. so i got too scared to ever call but i always kept the note and i would admire him from a far till he graduated. flash forward me now 25 finds my school crush on Facebook. so i message him and tell him i did get the note he wrote me in school but was too scared to call but i did always like him. he did message me back he said he did remember me and he said he liked me a lot too but when i never called he thought maybe i didn’t like him after all. but unfortunately he had a gf and a baby on the way. we’re still friends on fb but we don’t talk to respect his relationship. me 33 he’s now single now on fb and so am but i just got out of a very abusive 4 year long relationship so i’m still putting myself back together again. i still look at his fb and like his posts. maybe one day we will finally be together you never know.

For probably a whole year I always picked that movie. I could recite most of it by the end of that year.

Some students can probe picked to read them aloud to the class. I wrote a love poem directed to my crush, who knew I liked him and he already rejected me. I got chosen to read mine aloud and he knew exactly who I was talking about. Gave off total stalker in the making vibes, hard. Dude, I stopped obsessing over people in Middle School, wish I learned my lesson sooner before that moment in time.

    An obsession I had began in 2nd grade, and it was with even numbers. Everything I did, from steps to the classroom, to clapping at assembly, to number of times I chewed my food, had to be in even numbers. In adulthood I realized it was OCD due to a difficult home environment, but my gosh was it all consuming. I'm genuinely surprised not one of my teachers thought it was odd enough to mention at a parent teacher conference. Side note, I'm much better now as a 40 year old, so proof positive kids can grow out of their idiosyncrasies with enough counseling.
