<human>: Ever since I was little, I would love to go to the library and pick out books. I would always pick books based on their pictures and not their content (though these days I look for both.) When I was in HS I read a lot of "real" books, chapter books, for classes or just for fun. 

Now that I'm in college, I've found myself drawn to the same books I grew up with, such as "The Teacher From the Black Lagoon" and others. I just love looking at how the illustrators drew this or that, and they're just so fun. When I'm reading them (takes like one minute per book sometimes, lol,) I forget about my problems. 

I do read a lot of things other than kids books. Since I'm studying to be in the healthcare field I spend a lot of my time studying how the human body works. If I'm not hitting my textbooks I'm reading articles online, or forums. It's a ton of work and I feel burned out on most days, but it's necessary because I want to save lives in the future. 

The problem is, my friends have not stopped teasing me about reading kids books. They are relentless and bring it up **all the time** to try to embarrass me. I get that friends tease each other but it hurts. I have told them to stop before, and they would stop for a week or so, and then continue again. 

At the same time, I have doubts whether my behavior is normal. I also have doubts whether or not my friends' behavior is okay.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Friends tease me for reading kids books, not sure if it's okay that I do, and not sure if it's okay that they're treating me this way.
