  7. 1. I use to be afraid of the dark, I would always have to always have the light on in my room when I fall asleep, or leave the washroom light on or the hallway lights on .
    2. I tried to use a night light or I would hangout in the dark more oft
    3. I never wanted to sleep alone I always slept with my mom , when I did sleep with my mom I would never get sick, I would never have nightmares after movies. One day I just decided to sleep in my own room ,Now i can sleep alone but I still like to sleep in my moms room .

    1. The thing that I am most afraid of is hieghts

    2. I cope wit this fear by never going anywhere that is high up

    3.One time when I was at Canada's Wonderland, my mother convienced me to go on "The Drop Zone". Which is where it slowly brings you up in the air and then just drops you. So when I got on the ride, i thought "its not that high, i can do this". But when I got up to the top, i nearly craped my pants. And then i droped, but i couldn't scream because there was no air to breath. When the ride was done, i got off and said " I will never go on that ride again".

  16. I'm afraid of geese, thunderstorms, plan crahses,the dark, and dying.

    How I deal with geese by not going near them or throughing golf balls at them. Thunder Storms are scary but I go into my room and i lay down in my bed and hold my favoourite childhood toy. Plan Crashes because 1. You could die. 2. You could get eaten by a shark and 3. You could get lost. The dark I sleep with a night light. Dying it is scary but i don't really think about it.

    When I overcame a fear I was walking down the road and I got attacked by a goose after screaming i just walked away. Plan crases I don't really worry about it as long as I have my family near me I'm fine. Dying I don't have to worry about it yet. One night it was thunder storming and I was home by myself and I was scared so I started cryng and I just sat in my moms room on her bed. The dark it was the first time my lamp stopped working and I heard scary noises and I couldn't fall asleep soo I make sure I my lamp works.
