  • You're right.

    Most of my fears were cause by traumatic events when I was younger.

    • Yeah, some parents really fail. So do teachers. I remember in the first grade being told that second graders who misbehave have to face a paddling machine. I wanted to go to a different school.

      Then there was that BS about the "permanent record."

      I'd hate to be a policeman. Can you imagine the number of times they have to be subjected to bad parenting like that?

      • I had a friend who wanted to be a policemen and the thought sent shivers up my spine.

        I ended up getting a guilt trip over what happened. I kept getting told of the horrors of foster care and that I could get someone much worse. Then, they kept freaking me out with the possibility of a "permanent record" and having to be a "delinquent".

        I admit it must be rather hard for them to deal with it. If it's not that then they don't react or they react too late.

        • The guys I knew who wanted to be cops where the kind of guys who weren't fit to serve fries at a burger joint.

          I can't think of any phobias that I have that stem from my childhood, although there are some old people who give me the creeps and that's probably from childhood experiences.

          • My friend was one of the most logical people I know. So, hopefully he's doing his job right and not fucking up.

            Some old people scare me too. I once drowned and had a bad experience with swimming lessons and now I have a extreme phobia of water. I think allot of things can contribute to phobias.
