Students Reveal Biggest Fears

4/14/2015

 
Fears. Everyone has them. They can range from being scared of heights, snakes, drowning, or even being scared of clowns. According to Dictionary.com, fear,  “is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.” When people are scared of something, they usually have a reason. The reason can be just because what they fear is just creepy, or there might be deeper reason for their fear.
When students at NHHS were polled about their biggest fears, the poll revealed  that some students fear snakes and spiders. The reasons people fear these animals is because they are just scary.

Junior Stephanie Russo said her biggest fear is spiders because  “they can come in different sizes and colors, and they can hide in almost everything. They just pop out of nowhere and scare you, and if you don't keep your eyes on it, and they move and you don't see it anymore, you'll panic and leave that room for a day.”  Furthermore, junior Jenny Alvarez stated that spiders are her biggest fear because they just look disgusting

Sophomore Emily Lewis is scared of Johnny Depp; she says, “He’s just a really creepy actor.”

Sophomore Brady Kruse mentioned being scared of snakes but has no idea why. Also, freshman Hannah White is afraid of snakes because they are just scary.

Freshman Emma Engelbrecht said that drowning or burning are her biggest fears because you are slowly dying and you know that you’re going to die. Junior Abby Perdue she had said that one of her biggest fears would have to be drowning also. She said it scares her because of how slow and engulfing it is.

 Whether it is snakes, spiders, drowning, or burning, students at NHHS have many fears.  What’s yours?
