What are your fears?

I have a fear of drowning even though I can swim. Cause of this I avoid swimming pools and beaches now. I also have a fear of dying, and dying suddenly in my sleep, it scares me so much that I think about it every night when I get into bed.

Chemistry on Tusday


I used to fear that too at GCSE. Ugh, hated Chemistry.

I fear that I would fail to beat my older sister in my GCSEs


Is the competition THAT fierce? I don't think my little sister cared much. She accepted that I would beat her.

Well, my sister is three years older than me and she's at uni, but I remember how she got shouted at as she 'only' got 4 A*s for GCSEs (only in an Asian family...). I want to do much better than her, so I was strangely unhappy when I was 'only' predicted 8 A*s after my mocks.


Oh dear. I've never really agreed with the pressure Asian families put on their children. It's lousy.
Only 8 A*? Wow! That's more than me. You should be proud of yourself and work towards getting them.

Letting people down. It seems that I never learn
Needles, injections, blood tests etc... Cannot stand them!
The love of my life
My biggest fears are failing, a Tory - UKIP coalition and above all, spiders.

Oh yeah, they're horrible. It takes on average 20 minutes for me to get blood taken because you can't see my veins under my skin! Makes it all worse! Have you had a bad experience?

I will cry if we get a Tory-UKIP coalition.
Yup, also have a fear of failing. Cried when I got a B at AS History.

I've got medical problems with both of my legs and been under anaesthetic 4 times. Once I had pins ripped out of the bones in both of my ankles with just gas and air as a pain relief. Ouch! That's where it's all stemmed from I think.

They're lucky they get any blood from me at all. I refuse to lie down, thrash about on the bed, cry, squirm, everything! They have to tie me down lol! :wink:
It's quite ironic, actually, as I have a part time job in the blood sciences lab at a hospital...
Spiders. I just shrivel up if one is in my room.
Heights too- makes me nervous.
Also places with large crowds.
I am an aviation enthusiast but I am of me falling to the ground. I don't think I would take to skydiving good at all.

I have been on the Manta ride in Florida and honestly I nearly had a nervous breakdown, I shouted and screamed the whole time. Me and big drops don't go down well.

I did the bare minimum of studying and got 5 A*, 6A, a B and a C. With the amount you're planning, don't worry. You'll do great!
