Fear of sharks?

Question

OHKK. well i have a horrible fear of sharks. i can not go in the ocean, pools, sometimes bath tubs, and worst, the shower. How can i get over it? I am 12

Answer 1

I can understand the ocean. However pools, bathtubs, and showers are obviously unable for a shark to reach. I used to have a horrible fear of the clown "IT" I was scared it would come up from the shower. I thought about it and realized that it was just a movie. So here is my advice: Think about what u r scared of. Does it even make sense? Talk to ur parents, you can't keep feelings bottled up. In the ocean, (if you ever get brave enough to go in) think about how whoever is in the ocean is just as endangered as you. (They aren't very endangered) Stay fairly close to the shore and away from dark vents. Don't wear anything shiny. I used to body surf until I went to Ripley's Aquarium where I learned about sharks. It was really scary but sharks don't like how you taste and if you stay relatively close to the shore, you don't have to worry about the sharks. It's OK to be scared. We all are of something.

Answer 2

well just remeber sharks are not in fresh water and they can not go into ur shower or tub so say clean and u can go in the ocean just dont go close to the booes or over ur head and u have nothing to worry about but i hope u stay clean and dont worry about sharks

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

well sharks can't get you in showers, bathtubs and swimming pools. so just keep that in mind. im afraid of sharks too, but im only scared of the ocean, nothing else

Answer 6

i suppose most people have the same phobia as u do. u're not alone :) but u do know that sharks wont attack u in the showers or bathtub do u? well, u'll be able to spot them if they are ever inside, dont worry. just remember to shower. or u'll stink. but then the sharks probably wont ever bother u again.

Answer 7

SHOWERS?  You're afraid of sharks in the shower?  

Be certain to tell your parents this and ask them to take you for some serious psychological counseling as such a fear is far beyond reality and is totally and completely irrational.

Answer 8

hi

sharks cant be anywhere except for the ocean. so just tell urself that its ok. they cant get in ur shower. its ok...just be positive. and did u know that not a lot of people are killed by sharks? besides...sharks arent really dangerous unless they smell blood so ur ok if u r not bleeding.

its ok...if u dont go in the ocean. besides...just say to urself. u'll be fine. u can have fun at the beach without going in the water. just walk by the water. sit in the sand and just watch the ocean. its fun. besides. sharks dont come up where it is really shallow just stay like 3 feet to the shore. it takes time. just try not to freak out. its ok...
