What Are You Afraid Of? Jasmine Coleman My biggest fears are dying, thunderstorms and being chased by clowns. People always called me weird for being scared of clowns, but I couldn’t help it. After a while, I got tired of being the only one known for being scared of clowns, so I went around school and asked some students what their biggest fears were, and here’s what I got: “I’m afraid of death, because I’m afraid of not being here on earth anymore.” Kai Wade “I don’t know, there is something weird about clowns. It seems like they are so happy just to get you.” Tyshell Morris “I don’t like being home alone.” Kayla Drake I’m afraid of crossing the street because I’m scared I’m going to get hit and die.” Somalia Pumphrey Being afraid of death or dying is called Thanatophobia. It affects most people in the world, but only 20% of those people have documented treatments and are on record for this phobia. Coulrophobia is the over whelming fear of clowns. I have this phobia, but with me, its not how they act that scares me. It’s the way they look. When I see a clown, I instantly see the red mouth and the white face, and after I see that, I start to panic and try to get as far away from the clown as possible. Astraphobia refers to the fear of thunder and lightning, it is a type of specific phobia. It is a treatable phobia that both humans and animals can develop. Symptoms of Astraphobia include trembling, crying, sweating, panic attacks, feeling of dread and rapid heartbeat. When it thunders, I experience thoughts and feelings of dread and rapid heart beat. About 19% of Americans have Astraphobia, and about 15% of the world has it. Here’s a List of Other Bizarre Phobias Clinophobia is an abnormal and persistent fear of going to bed. Sufferers experience anxiety even though they realize that going to bed normally should mot threaten their well-being.
