People choking really scares me. But besides that, I really don’t like monkeys.

Radiation. The more I learn about it, the more scared yet fascinated I am.

Sticky, germy, children. They’re a neat freak’s worst nightmare!

My deepest fear is the thought of losing a loved one. I am afraid of imagining life without someone I am attached to. On a lighter note, I am easily scared by any type of insect, but mostly spiders.

My parents around my friends. That and losing my homework.

I’m terrified of spiders. I know that’s super cliché since I’m a teenage girl afraid of spiders, but I’m serious. I’ve cried a few times because a big spider got too close to me.

Birds, mascot costumes, my teeth falling out, math tests and missing opportunities.
