I had to put up with people making fun of his bikini briefs, 3 inch heels and leg warmers that he wore at his concerts. I defended him all the way.

I am alos a young Prince fan, 16, and I am completely obsessed. Right now my entire room is Prince and my locker, which I get a lot of shit about, ut it's okay!!! Because I love him so much!!!I've been told that before I sang Mother Goose rhymes, I would sing every single Prince song. It is hard with your friends, but I have a few that have learned to like Prince. That is all I will listen to. I make all of my friends watch the Prince movies, even though I don't think they pay attention!!!! But I have convinced some to fall in love with him. I mean c'mon it's not hard at all,he's sooooo sexy!!!!! | |

When I was a teenager in high school, I also was obsessed with Prince. Like you, my room and locker was plastered with Prince and Prince-related posters and pictures and my practically my whole life revolved around Prince in some way. That was back during the Purple Rain era, though, so the hype was everywhere anyway.
I think as you grow older (most) people mellow and mature and either their 'obsession' fades completely, or it evolves into more of an admiration and deep appreciation...your interest can still very enthusiastic and sometimes intense, but not on the same level or scope as an "obsession". The mania and superficial fixation settles down as you get older and you realize there are other aspects of life you need to focus on - aspects that, trust me, you'll WANT to focus on instead of directing so much of your emotion and energies towards Prince. Hopefully the most important part of Prince, his music, will be what stays with you as you mature, and remains in your heart and soul even when the more supercial hype calms down. Because the music part is what enriches your life in way that truly endures. As for now, enjoy your obsession. This is a special time in your life where it's okay to become so totally immersed in something. Just don't take it too far and let it get you in trouble or cause you to do things you know are wrong, or let it affect things like schoolwork or jobs or relationships.
Some of the very, very best and most cherished memories of my life are associated with my own "Prince obsession" from back when I was your age...enjoy yours now, too. 
ps - An don't concern yourself about what your friends think of Prince. If you like him, that's all that matters. I know it's not easy to feel like the 'odd one out', but you can't live your life on what others think. If Prince is what you like, well, then that just shows you've got excellent taste in music.

moderatorI love this thread! I've been a fan since I was 5 but I didn't become a die hard till I was 12 and since then I've heard everything under the sun from my friends about him but I knew what I liked and I'm still here at 25. His music never escapes you. Once you get it, you GET IT!
It's FUN being a Prince fan!!!!! I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

I've been a fan since I was 13 or 14. I Love Prince and his music. My family thought I was nuts for collecting posters and his music. My Mom thought he was a satanic worshiper but I didn't believe it. Now she has something else to say about him. She even likes a few of his songs. I Love him | |

I`m on2 my 15th year now and i gets better...As i get older it gets deeper yet calmer.I 2 did the posters on the wall,ceiling,office etc...now just one wall and little 1 in the car...
I passed on the music 2 my children and my 4 year old loves his " costumes " as she puts it. Enjoy it..it takes a special kinda person to get on this train so hang on and enjoy,it will bring u lots of fun etc... Although my family r amazed at my stage of life,only 30 something.i`m still having more tatoos related 2 him in various places,where i can see 
Its not the "pop star "..it`s what he represents musically and spirtually ! ""And if i never c u again....it`s alright "" | |

My two favourite artists- Michael Jackson and Prince.
I get a lot of stick for being a fan of both too, but let it roll over your head. They're missing out | |

I remember having a huge Lovesexy poster on my bedroom wall at home.
My Dad came home from work, saw this great picture of a naked man and said "son I think we better have a talk".
Then I made him sit down and watch the Lovesexy live video, and he was like... "Wow this guy's a real musician!!"Little? Yeah, right. It might be little but it's loud | |

it's ok! be obsessed if u want to! i am put down by my insatiable love for him all the time and i'm still a teenager! but i don't care because he's the greatest and all u have to do is listen to him sing and all ur doubts will drown away! don't listen to ppl if they ridicule u for ur love of his music. they're just narrow minded. be part of the new generation! stand up! organise!

I Wish U Heaven
It's totally okay. I think I might have a slight obsession of my own, even though I haven't gone out and bought all the albums he's released (yet) or plastered my room with any memoribilia. But, it's always great to hear when we have someone that expresses their appreciate for P... Ooh, little darlin' if you're

I was totally obsessed with prince when i was a teenager, had prince posters all over my room, made my own clothes so i could dress like him i even bought a guitar that i never did learn to play. I only ever had one friend who loved him as well, everyone else used 2 slag him off saying he was gay,but i always stood up for my idol, he's just not afraid 2 express himself and i think most people do not realise just what a genius he is. Just enjoy ur obsession as i did, it's just part of growing up. My obsession has faded over the years but i will always love the man. Still ever so slightly obsessed! | |
