Answer 1

Answer 2

I fear aging alone.  Because we are human, every so often we take a look at our age, life, and death.  The good part of this is that it helps us put focus into our lives.  We make changes because we know time is passing and we don't want to waste it.  Make the most of your life while you have it.  Good Luck.

Answer 3

I am in my 40's and you know what scares me the most? I look back and say to myself,where did all the time go? It goes too fast! My son will be graduating from high school this year and I can't believe it.

Answer 4

I am 17 and I already am afraid of aging

I think my biggest fear isn't to get old but it is to get old

and not have enjoyed life and done what I wanted to do

and also looking old.

But the more you worry the older you get

so don't worry, just look in the mirror and see yourself

young, enjoy your time and think of it as a child

thinks. They don't worry about getting old

Good Luck Pal!

Answer 5

I am nearly 19 and I feel so old. My last year of being a "teen". I feel like I have done nothing with the whole of my life and I am allready a adult. Oh god it's horrible. I think we all feel it to be honest. Every one fears getting old.
