Will I ever be able to grow up?!
Question: I am 18 and I still sometimes act like a little kid when get scared. And I get scared a lot. I'm terrified of the dark. And I hate being home alone, because I dont feel like I'm alone, know what I mean? I have such a crazy imagination. I'm afraid that I'll have a hard time dealing with my future childrens fears if I'm just as scared as they are. =(
Answers:
I wouldn't worry about it too much. The big secret of adulthood is that you become an adult and you realize that adults aren't mature either. There are plenty of adults who are afraid of the dark, but it can help you raise your kids because you will know how they feel when they have fears. Even adults sometimes want to climb onto their mom's lap, believe me.

dont worry, everybodys afraid of something. even bigshot posers have secret fears. As long as you love your future kids they'll turn out fine.
I wouldn't freak out too much if I were you. Everyone out there is a little paranoid about something or another. As far as dealing with future kids' fears wait until you have some and then you will know what to do.
My personal paranoia: the water.
we all have fears to over come theres nothing wrong with being afraid its what you do with that fear that counts for example force your self to develope a routine and check then telling your self youchecked theres nothing youll get there dont stress about it till then you have time

The best way you can help your self is by facing your fear.
Try being on the dark, alone, take a deep breath, relax. The more you do this, the more you will realize that there is nothing to fear. There will be a day when dark will no longer scare you, but you must do this exercise many times before you get to that point.
OMG you're a baby still. At this age your allowed a little room to act silly, but when you get to be 21 you better get your act together. See, I'm 29 and I didn't get the chance that you have now to be silly and live to learn without major responsibilities like a child or marriage. So enjoy your life right now, but while you are being silly learn from mistakes and life. You're goin to need it when u get to be my age. LOL Don't worry you're do fine.
