I've only recently realised how fascinating I find this. Here are a few things to think about:
1) What's your general opinion on them? Are they beneficial during childhood or a hindrance to your development?
2) Have you ever had/still got any?
3) At what age does having an imaginary friend cease being 'normal' and 'acceptable'? Or in other words, at what age does it start being 'weird'?
1) To some extent yes, so long as you don't choose them over real life friends.
2) No, and I don't plan on it in the future.
3) I'm not sure about age, but it depends on the influence you let this imaginary friend have on your 'normal' life. When it starts interfering with every day life you should be worried.

personally i've never had an imaginary friend but i've read some stuff about it.
1. my opinion...i think its harmless and not at all out of the ordinary. some say its actually quite beneficial for introverted kids as it helps them cope with what they might regard as a hostile environment.
2. have i had any..nope.
3. at what age it might start to get weird...i'd say 15ish.
