Scary...

[BabyPiglet]

What's the scariest thing you've ever heard/watched/been a part of?

I haven't had many scary moments, but when I watched some audio clip of the VT shootings, I broke down. Memories of my family rushed pass.

It was scary.

VT was also very scary for me to watch.
I can seriously see it happening at my school,with all the wackos that go to my school.
Also,September 11th freaked me out.
I have many friends who lost family members that day.
I may have only been 8 years old but seeing something horrible like that on TV and knowing how many people died, is just unbelieveable.

yeah that whole VT thing is scary.
9/11 was pretty scary too, i was like 13..and i didn't really know what was going on, really scary.


the scariest thing that ever happened to me though, was my mom getting into a car accident when i was 11, she came REALLY close to death.
It really scared me, it kinda ruined me for a while (i got really severe seperation anxiety after that)
that's probably the scariest thing that i, personally, ever expirienced.

9/11 was hell.

The week before Thanksgiving, there was a "shooting" at my school.
Someone brough a gun to school and shot a uninal.
the urinal was found after school, so they never found the person who did it.
The camras didn't show any one or noise (silencer)
It happened on a Friday.
My dad found out about it because he works for the school.
He told me the Sunday night before the next Monday.
He told me what went down and how the school was going to handle it.
My mother didn't want me going to school that day, just incase something happend, but ultimitely, it was my choice, and i went to school.
My dad told me where to go, not to bring any electronics (they took them all), do what people tell me to do.. and such.

When i got there, all the doors were locked except the gym doors and there were teachers, police, bomb squads, and offical looking people.
They turned out gym into something that looked like an airport securtity station.
Everyone's coats had to come off. you had to take off all shoes, jewelry, belts, and glasses.
Cell phone were taken and put into your homeroom's box.
you were wanded down and patted down.
I waited two hours.
Nothing dangerous was found. luckily.

the next day went by fine, but Wed. was awful.
The school was evacuated twice due to bomb threats.
It was a complete mess.

For me, those were the scariest days i've been in.
Most people just left when they saw the line.

I think the freakiest thing that has happened to me personally was 9/11. No I wasn't actaully in NY at the time, but it still affected me.
I remember I was in 3rd grade, and we were all doing our multiplication tables when the teacher next door ran into the room.
She said, "Turn on the news quick!"
Mrs. Hilton quickly turned on the TV and we saw the Twin Towers coming down on live TV before our eyes. Then I remembered that my grandma was flying over NY to get sopmewhere, I forget, and I seriously started freaking out.
Only when I actually hugged her when she got home from her trip, did I really almost felt better about what happened.

 

[BabyPiglet]

My cousin was on a plane that day too.

I had no idea what was going on the entire day, as we weren't old enough to watch to news.

That's why it boggled me that when I came home my mom was freaking out.

 

[WORLDwarQUIFFLE]

When I found out about 9/11. My next door neighbor worked in the twin towers.
And once there was a bombing in Bombay where my uncle worked.
Both of them survived, thank god.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

One of the scariest moment's for me was when my grandpa was in the hospital.
We all thought he was going to die.
It was on my sister's birthday.
Luckily he got better later on in the night and is now okay.

I was probably in first grade when 9/11 happened. All I remember is me sitting on my parents bed watch ing the news and seeing all the chaos. My mom was in awe I also remember. But I was like 5 when it happened also.

 

[Loves Disney]

First grade? lol that makes me feel old. I was in 7th.

Anyway, I don't think this was the scariest part of my life -- but the VT shootings really made me a little shaken up. I know I can't worry about it, but it made me more aware of the type of students we have and some recent occurrences. I have seriously become too aware and am feeling less safe at school. I really shouldn't be though because I know the risks I take by just walking out of my house -- but it would be a lie to say this didn't make me feel on edge -- especially thinking about college next year. This situation really really shook me up.

9/11 had me feeling the same heavy emotion (very shaken), but in a different way. Not so much about schools, but rather everyday life.

I get scared when I hear about anyone I know being in the hospital or in danger. That scares me. I have only experienced one death of a person in my life who wasn't strongly connected to the family -- but enough to put us all in tears and in grief. He was very anti-social so we didn't see him much, but he was involved with gatherings and such. I don't think I could stand a death of anyone closer to me. For that, I'm afraid.

I was terrified when we were taking off in an airplane and we got a lot of turbulence and the lights went out and we found ourselves flying through a thunderstorm. Scared me sick because I'm not exactly the best for flying lol. I do it all the time but the take-off still scares me often times.

There was one time I was driving my sister and friend to the movies for my sister's birthday and we got this AWFUL downpour where heavy branches and trees were falling. The rain was so heavy, the windshield wipers were completely useless and having lights on was unnecessary because no one could see them anyway. I was also driving through Springfield which is Massachusetts's second largest and busiest city next to Boston. I was not AT ALL afraid driving. I was trying SOOOO hard to focus on getting through and my entire thought process was on trying to get my sister and friend to the movies okay. I didn't even think ONCE about me. It's extremely weird how that works. It wasn't until we got the movies where I realized what I had just been through and that I could have gotten in an very serious and fatal accident. I was so thankful I was able to drive us through it. So in this case, I more scared AFTER the fact rather than when I should naturally have been. I'm glad it worked out how it did. I'm glad I didn't get scared while I was driving. I wouldn't have been able to keep control such as I did. It truly is something when you are dealing with other people's lives how yours doesn't seem to exist anymore and that you need to do everything to protect the others.

September 11th was the hardest thing for me to watch, one of my best friends lived in new york at the time so i started thinking the worst thoughts about something bad had happened to her and her family. .i still remember all the vavid pictures and videos taken that were shown to us. i was in fifth grade when it happened i think that was a day in my life when my innocence began to slowly fade away. because i learned what horrible things that man can do to one another.

 

[EeyoreFan1]

I was young when 9/11 happened, so that really wasn't that scary. I'm trying to think...

My grandmother was in the hospital for a while, and I was so scared that she was going to die. She's ok now, but both my grandparents are in their 80's. They tell me every time I visit "when we're gone..." or "We don't have much time left.." and I cry almost every time they say that.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I don't quite remember how old I was. 10 maybe. Yes I think so.

I didn't hardly understand. The only thing I was worried about was my cousin. That day was the day he flew to his basecamp. His first real "Marine" day after bootcamp.

That's what scared me, my cousin was going to get stuck right in the middle of the war. And he did, and he died. So I think my worries were justified.

 

[xlRacerXlx]

Since I was eleven years old, I do not remember a time in which I was scared.

I have had everything from both my wrists breaking, to watching someone die, to having a gun pulled on me. I am not afraid mainly because I place zero to no value on my own life.

And, I follow in tune of FDR, "The only thing to fear is fear itself."

 

[VolleyballQt07]

I think the scariest thing I've watched is clips of 9/11.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Most of the things you've mentioned, upset me, but didn't particularly scare me.

This past week, my grandmother passed. It was sad, but I wasn't too upset. The only time I really broke down was seeing how upset my grandfather was. I was afraid this pain would be too much for him, I was afraid he would just let himself rot alone. Right now, I just wish he'd give up the house and live somewhere fit for him.

 

[shellybellypolo]

I was in first or second grade when 9/11 happened. All I truly remember was coming home and walking through the door to find my mom pacing the room. She then leaned down to my level and whispered, "Something terrible happened today." And when I saw the news, I realized what was going on, but didn't really put it into thought.

And have we all forgotten about that horrible Tsunami that occured? And Hurricane Katrina? My, my. So much, so little we can do. I've had some truly scary moments in my life. xlRacerXlx, you've had a gun pulled on you? Wow. Nothing I can think of can top that. But my dad has almost died maybe... five times in his life? Let's see... when he was young he drank unprocessed cow milk, some kind of illness came upon him, and the most recent was probably one of the scariest.
He was working outside on our house and it had been raining. He was using one of those lifting machines to work on the roof. When he went to get down, his foot slipped and he did a sort of split thing on a pole. When he came inside, he was barely walking and he was losing blood fast. I remember I was doing my homework, and when he was bleeding all I could think was, "Focus on my homework, focus on my homework." I later broke down into tears. When my aunt and uncle, whom are really into their religion, came over, they came over to me. All I can remember is hearing their voices, "It's ok, Jesus will take care of daddy, Jesus will take care of daddy." I wanted Jesus to take care of him, but not to send him to heaven. I was just a wreck. It was nightmarish.
And how can I forget the time when my brother, who was about four or three at the time, got sent to the hospital at one in the morning due to spitting up and breathing difficulties? Now, I'm one to hate anything thrown up or regurgitated. But in this case, all I could do was hug him and hold his hand and tell him he'd be ok as we raced to the hospital. I'm lucky that my dad is a nurse. He knew partially the problem. When we got there, my dad's nurse friend, China, had to put him on a breathing machine. Then the most heartbreaking part came. He had to get a "poke poke". I couldn't stand watching my brother sit there while the nurse told him to look at his dad, and the instant he did she took the needle and drew blood. He was in tears. I was in tears. I can't stand watching my brother get a shot. Oh, and did I mention it was a few days until Christmas? Not fun. But he got home the same night, and he got to open up a gift early. My mom let me open one up, too. He opened up his space astonaut. I got my bracelet.
I, personally, have never gotten a life threatening illness or been sent to the hospital. Heck, I never even broke a bone in my body or been through any kind of operation. And I know I probably will, as an older person, break a limb or two or get my tonsils removed or some kind of operation like that. I'm just happy that isn't today.
