Things We Can't Control
I have 15 phobias.
15.
That sounds like a lot but there are people who are literally scared of everything.
Now a phobia is more than a simple fear, it cause anxiety, panic attacks.
15 things that can cause panic attacks sounds like a lot more know doesn't it?
When someone says they are scared of something, let's say a snake, and you purposefully put them in a situation where they will see a snake, or touch one,
you're giving them anxiety, pushing them over their normal limit of fear into this deep black abyss of terror.
I've had people laugh at me for crying and hyperventilating when a clown comes near me, but to that person(literally) deathly afraid of snakes who was laughing at me, how would you feel if it had been a snake..
There are so many things people joke around with that they shouldn't.
Rape, anxiety, phobias, physical and mental disorders, and race are some of them.
No one can control if they've been sexually abused,
if they have panic attacks just be thinking of a situation,
if they are scared of something they can't see,
if they've lost an arm, if they were born dyslexic,
or if they were born with a different skin color.
Everyone deserves the same respect for being alive.
You shouldn't bully someone for something they can't control.
Do you want to know why?
Because you were probably the 8 year old little kid hiding in the corner when someone brought a spider on show and tell day.
You were probably the kid who fell out of the tree and broke your arm. You were probably the kid born with ADHD. You were probably the kid who had asthma attacks when you cried.
You were probably the kid whose babysitter didn't play the games you wanted to play, but instead gave you the wrong idea of doctors.
You were probably the kid whose friends parents never let you stay the night and you didn't know why until you saw the look of disgust on their face and you realized they didn't like your color.
So just think about that.
How would you feel if they knew that stuff about you and they taunted and teased you?
You probably wouldn't like it... Would you?
