My 12 year old seventh grade daughter is being bullied at school by a boy.?

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:24:08 +0000

She doesn’t want to tell on him because she fears the bullying will get worst. She says the boy is bigger than all of the kids and threatens them with gang affiliation. What should I do to help her? Keep in mind she has tried standing up to him, she’s tried to involve other kids but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I have a small fear of unfamiliar and wide open spaces (like being on the plains) anyone else?

I don’t like being out in an open area where i can’t see any mountains, (even an area like Nevada scares me, where there are just one or two visible hills or ‘table-tops’) I can’t underestand why, though. only the prescence of surrounding mountains, or a large city or forest can calm my nerves! (I hate driving through Nevada)

Why do some people fear or hate all snakes regardless of them being non-venomous?

Why do some people fear snakes of the non-venomous type even though most pose little or no threat to them? And why do some people go as far as killing all snakes? Especially since they keep the rodent population in check without polluting our Earth? And why do some people think they’re slimy and gross when they have never even touched them? Why all the hate for snakes? Is it because of the Bible, the way snakes are portrayed as evil in the Bible? Phobias? Or is it just no knowledge about snakes or ignorance? I think snakes are cool, I’ve held black rat snakes and boas before, not slimy, a snake’s skin feels like soft leather, somewhat. And the snakes I’ve held were docile and gentle, not wild(they were kept as pets by my high-school applied biology teacher) and therefore not nasty. I wish people were more open-minded about these creatures.

Phobia of being alone?

What is the proper name for it? I found one site saying that it’s monophobia, and one site saying that it’s autophobia, but I’m not sure which one is right. Or if they’re both wrong.
