I realised I have my first crush on fictional characters when I was 5. The characters were 10, 12 & 13? Is that weird as a kid?

I’m ashamed to say I had crushes on boys in Battle B-Daman. My crushes are Gray, Terry, Wen, Enjyu and last but not least Cain. My other crushes are Danny from Danny Phantom, Zick from Monster Allergy, Kid Flash & Robin from Teen Titans (early 2002s) and Skullboy from Ruby Gloom. It’s a good thing my profile picture is blank otherwise I would be ashamed of myself. Me a kid crushing on boys at 5… Strange isn’t it?

It’s normal

No it’s not

I never crushed on cartoons but what is strange that the person I liked at age 6 looked like the person I liked at age 11, they had the same ethnic background, similar body shape, same tall height, both a few years older than me, and both had similar cheek and nose shapes. Both had similar voices too.

I was crushing on drake bell who was grown or close to grown when I was 6 or so , so that’s normal

Nothing wrong with that. It's relative to your age and memories of it

I wish they will remake the original Battle B-Daman as adults that way I can still have a crush on them. We can never get back the good old days.

Perfectly normal, To a 5yo, teenagers are adults.

Having crushes on fictional characters as a kid is completely normal and quite common. Characters from shows like Battle B-Daman, Danny Phantom, and Teen Titans are designed to be attractive and relatable, so developing an attachment to them is a part of growing up and exploring feelings. It's a harmless and fun way to engage with stories and use your imagination. Don't be ashamed; you're definitely not alone in this! 😊
