OKay so I have 8 reasons to believe the world will end on 2012. I'm not afraid of dying, but I'm going to be 18 when 2012 comes! And I feel like I won't be able to live my life! Do YOU honestly believe it will end on 2012? *And how can I stop believing that the world will end on 2012?!* It's just been stressing me out for the past few months!

Answer 1

Why do you believe the world will end in 2012?  Please give your reasons why you believe this.

Answer 2

You should relax and stay calm.Try to do something that will make you forget about this topic.Besides, I don't think the world will end in 2012.

Answer 3

the world will end when human race is finish destroying it with the use of fossil fuels, energy wasting, overpopulation, decease, killing of species of animals to keep the natural circle of life, annihilation of vegetation and many more, in a few decades , you´ll be very old by then i f nothing kill you first

Answer 4

ok dont fret! this is all based on the mayan calander theory, however, it has been proven that even though the mayan calander ends then there is no historical evidence that supports they believed the world was going to end in catastrophic events. they simply were to restart their calander, like we did with the birth of Jesus Christ. everything else u hear is mumbo jumbo related to the fact there will be sum kind of cosmic alignment that hasnt occured in 26,000 years. however scientists do not believe it will have any major effect on earth.

theres always people that will hype things up to "scare" you into believing in the Lord, which i think is wrong. he should be taken into your life from love, not threats! remember when those same people said the world would end on july 6th, 2006 (666) ? well we are still here!!!

i to have a fear of death, but you need to just live life while you can and focus on the present. even IF that were to happen, theres nothing saying your life wont end tomorrow, you know?

everyone dies at some point, the most we can do is make the best of the time we do have, and cherish the ones we love in our life, and try to make a positive difference for the ones that will come after us.

and if that still doesnt help, think of this- you are, what, 14 now? think of all the poor souls that didnt even get the chance to make it as long as you have! sadly children pass away every day. every day should be taken as a blessing!

Answer 5

so what if it is? can you change it? probably not, so stop worrying about it and enjoy the time you have. dont waste time or energy worrying.

"I am convinced that life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% how I react to it." - Charles Swindoll, from his 'Attitude' essay.

Answer 6

Honey, you have to understand, the we live in the now, not the future or the past, they are not real, only now. So what if it all ends in the time you say...will you have wanted to not lived at all? Will you let fear govern you? You can walk out your door and die tomorrow, let it go, just live for the moment of now. That is all that is real anyway no matter how paranoid you get about it. You cannot change the facts, NO one knows the future NO one. I am 53 years old and remember freaking out like you are when I was 16 and they said the world was ending FOR SURE in 1973 for some stupid reason, and think of the melinemm...come on.  Even if it were true..you have four years to enjoy life, so  many people on this earth dont even get that.  Love while you are alive, you have no way of knowing how long you live but if you focus on that...you wont...you wont live at all...enjoy life to the fullest in the now...that is why it is called a present...it is. QUIT giving your peace and power to the non exsistant...live now, love now and when it is time to go..you wont regret that you lived and lost in fear of the future...we  only have today, this moment is real...all else is ..... love now. live now.

Answer 7

I used too be like that too, but there is no need to worry about things you have no control over. If the world ended tomarrow, sure it would suck... But I wouldent be scared, because if it is going to happen, its gunna happen regardless of how worried I get. And if the world did end tomarrow im just thankful for the time I had on earth, the time we spend here is precious and the people are amazing, im just glad i was blessed enough to experience it.

This is why people say live your life to the fullest with no regrets and always tell people you love them. Life is unpredictable, being stressed wont help the situation. If anything it will hinder your efforts to live a productive joyous life.

"Tomorrow doesn't exist unless we step into tomorrow, so don't worry about the future. What is clear and in front of you is the present. If you don't live well in the present, how can you ever think of being happy in the future? "

Answer 8

Sometimes I get like that too...I just think of other things and start a conversation with someone.. It should get your mind off of things...And another thing that I did was prey that I forget about it and that I stop stressing..And it worked for me. Good Luck.

Answer 9

You're freaking about the world ending in 2012 and I'm freaking about the now.  

Lets ask our selves "what can we do for our country, rather then what  our country can do for us."

Answer 10

    A lot of the reasoning that the world will end in 2012 is because of the mayan/aztec calendar, which ends then. However, that calendar is based on cycles. Sets of smaller cycles make bigger ones and so on and so on until you get to the biggest one, the end of which comes at 2012. But just because one cycle is finished doesn't mean a cyclic calendar will end, it means that a new era has begun.

Quite a few proponents of the 2012 theory indeed believe that 2012 isn't an ending per say, but the beginning of a new era of spiritual awareness, one that might require some shaking up in the world, but you'll at least live in exciting times!

Answer 11

People who are in control of their lives, who know what they want and what they want to do, aren't bothered too much by prophecy because they are too busy trying to achieve their goals. Since I am assuming you are about 14 now, its normal to feel like you aren't in control and you don't know what you want to do with your life and that things are going to happen that you can't do anything about.

You aren't afraid of dying, you are afraid that 2012 will come around (making you an adult) and you have no idea what it is you want to do with your life. I think too much pressure is put on people to figure out who they are and what they want to be in life early on. Alot of people only find that out much later, and go through alot of unecessary hassle and worry because of it. I've only known since I was about 20 that I've wanted to live (and eventually die) in Los Angeles, but I'm 36 now and still haven't achieved that simple, straightforward goal. I could worry about what I will do once I get there, but experience has told me that one fear at a time is how you worry about these things.

Right now, its enough of a worry for you to simply get through high school in one piece, nevermind trying to figure out your life or worry if you will have one after 2012. One goal at a time.

Answer 12

  I'd freak out too, with all the gloom and doom about, but I've got 8 reasons it won't! ( so there!) :)

Take heart, no one knows according to our Creator, except for God, men are just big noting themselves, as always.

Read what He says in Matt.24 V36/37 (KJV)

Relax, you'l be fine, have faith and trust.

Answer 13

well, I sure qualify for the mature part.

In 1971, there was a massive earthquake in Southern Calif, where I lived. You would not believe the number of people who left CA because they were sure it was going to fall off into the ocean.

It didn't.

Your "reasons" to believe this, are built on mind manipulation.. finding "cause" in something, because you expect it to be there. Similiar to the idea of self fulfilling prophecy.. like someone who thinks they will die in a car accident from drinking.. so they go out and drink some more. In fact, if they STOPPED drinking, they eliminate it as happening. Not that there can't be an accident.. it won't be because of their premonition, which really is their own thoughts.

Its a common thing, about how mind games work.

There is no REAL REASON to believe this. Until you open your mind to looking for reasons why people believe things that are not proven, you will stay stuck.

It really is a choice.  

Answer 14

Well I never worry about such a thing. But IF you believe in God and such sort no one will know when the earth will end, it could be tonight at 7. But if you are not a believer of Christ then I would say Its something you will never know intill it happens but you can believe whatever you like!

I believe I will be dead when it happens  a long time from now. Like if you watch Doctor Who People think that global warming and dooms day but it could be 10000000000 years from now we might not ever know but who I am to say you believe so Just research and Believe!

Answer 15

Your not alone, i'll be 19 in 2012

No nothings majors going to happen, just alot of solar space stuf

1. The sun will begin another solar cycle

2. Our solar system will be right on the horizon of the milky way

3. The sun will Have a solar maxx

none of this will affect us TOO dramatically, there might be a few magnetic or gravitational stuff, but nothing serious

This is what the Mayans predicted, they didnt understand what the consequences of all these things happening would be, but we know now it wont be too dramatic

So please focus on something else!!!

BTW the date is the winter solance aka December 21

anyway, please dont worry, you cant pend your life worrying, otherwise you cant live freely
