I need help with my phobia of the dark.. :|?

Question

k when i was younger i hated sleeping alone in my room, i used to scream and cry for my parents to come and let me sleep with them and then eventualy they would just let me sleep with them. well ive always had a fear of the dark, and only now am i admitting to it i always thought i just liked sleeping in the same room as someone else.Now i cant sleep in a room alone with the lights off. i get really nervous and panic, but its not as bad as it used to be i used to cry but now i dont i just get nervous and get up. so im wondering, how can i fix this? my parents think its stupid that im so affrid of the dark and they say im just across the hall but honestly i cant stand it. so im wondering how can i fix this? or how can i make my parents understand this?

thanks!

You can always read yourself to sleep with the lights on.  But you should listen to Iron Maiden "Fear of the Dark" I don't know if that will help but I hope you overcome your fear.
