South students share fears, phobias

“I really don’t like clowns because when I was about 5, we went to the circus, and they asked for a volunteer to come down and help, and they picked me. When I got down there they let out this midget clown wearing fake blood and a mask that had a knife and he chased me around the arena and I screamed and ran, but he didn’t stop. So I have been afraid of clowns ever since.”

-sophomore Jilly Hebert

“When I was 7 years old, I was at a park with a boy that I liked. We were sitting on a bench holding hands and everything was great until a bird literally flew into my face. I couldn’t stop screaming because I was so scared, and after that day, I die a little every time I see a bird.”

-senior Sonali Patel

“I’ve always been afraid of falling from high places since I was really little and went to the top of a lighthouse and there was no rail. When I’m in high places, I feel like I need to be close to something stable and away from edges.”

-sophomore Clayton Nimz

“I don’t know why I am afraid of spiders – I just always have been. When I see one I just get annoyed that I have to deal with it, and I stop whatever I’m doing to kill it. I can’t leave it alone.”

-senior Donnie McNeil
