Hmm, as a child, I've been afraid of the dark and kept a night-light in my room and a mini-mag near my bed but now obviously, I've outgrown that.
I'm still afraid of thunderstorms; especially the thunder part
Car accidents; maybe that's why I still don't drive (I'm turning 19 this June!)
Heights; well, I might overcome it if I'm really careful when I'm approaching where the "edge" is.
Tornadoes, even though I'm in California
Sometimes, I feel nervous walking under transmission lines; I hear the buzzing and get the feeling that a giant spark would come down and hit me like a bolt of lightning
On the other hand, my mom is always afraid of people knocking at our doors (even if it's our neighbor) and fire or robbery (She sometimes asks me when we leave the house "Did you remember turn off the stove or oven and is the front door locked ?" and then one thing she really fears is who I meet on the internet (She has heard so many stories on the news about kids meeting strangers on chatrooms and then later getting abducted)
She always askes me "What kind of "chatroom" is <insert forum or message board here>?" and "Who are these people you're talking to?"
I know many parents are protective though
