Answer 1

I think the music idea, particularly with earphones, is a great one.

Answer 2

the best thing to do is try and ignore it and it the storm will go away after a while try and dream about your dreams like becoming a singer etc.

your not stupid and a a cry baby for it a load of people are scared of thunder and lighting and i don't blame them it a powerful thing from nature.

Answer 3

not at all. when i was 14 i would actually sneak into my parents room and sleep there.  but i am 19 now and i just sort of grew out of it.  what i always did was put on headphones and music and keep my attention with somethin else, like drawing or something you enjoy.

Answer 4

oh its normal.

you need something to keep you

distracted from it.

Like I know its loud but read a book

or listen to music.

Answer 5

No harm unless you are out of doors. Ear plugs or a pillow over your head should help with sleeping.

Answer 6

one of my dogs hates thunder

Answer 7

This may be a stupid answer, but they always say, "face your fears".  What if you took a friend or a parent, got all dressed for the rain, and went out for a walk in the storm so you can see that the thunder and lightening won't hurt you.  Well, lightening can, but try to stay away from metal objects...lol.  It could be a phobia you developed from something you don't remember happening when you were younger.
