Scared of being kidnapped...?!
Question: Scared of being kidnapped....?
I don't know why, but at night I have this fear of being abducted. I'm scared someone will break into my house and take me, and then murder me or rape me or something. I'm 14, so I know I'm too old to be worrying about ridiculous things like this, but I see it happening on the news etc. a lot. Our house has been broken into twice, but only things were stolen, and this was like 5 years ago. Of course since then we have had bars installed infront of the windows, locks, doors etc. Why am I so scared of this.? At night, if I hear a noise, my heart beats like crazy. I live with my brother and dad btw. And this fear has only been going on for a couple of days, after reading about something similar for school. :/

It sounds like you wouldn't have thought it if you hadn't read it. That is why it's bothering you that it might happen to YOU in particular. But, those chances are unlikely and you can make them less likely by:
1) NEVER giving out your home address to somebody you don't know (reliable businesses are NOT in the same catagory ...) but you are weeding out possible predators. I wouldn't even talk to people who make me feel weird in any way.
2) Recheck locks at night if that makes you feel better but it's still unlikely anything will happen. do you have a home alarm system.? Get stickers that say you do even if you don't.
3) When you run...run in public and keep your eyes open to anyone being overly interested in YOU. Don't take rides that are offered and don't trust anyone until they prove to you that they can be trusted!
Breathe deep and don't stress yourself out. Instead make this an opportunity to get stronger not let the fears get'cha!! Take a self defense class.?.?

I am assuming that at night when you go to sleep your dad and brother are with you. Firstly lets look at being broken into these probably happened while no-one was home and it was 5 years ago and the house is now secure so what are the chance of the house getting broken into again, what are the chances of someone breaking while your home and what are the chances that your dad or brother won't hear them.
