Ok, ever since I watched the movie Jaws, I have been terrified of the water! My brother is at the beach, and I have been obsessing that he doesn't go in the water! I watched the 1978 or something like that movie, the original one. I understand Some of you don't think that Jaws is scary while watching, I don't either! But now I am scared of the ocean, lake and even the pool in my back yard! My dad told me that once the movie first came out, NO ONE would swim, including him!!!!! Even though the movie is obviously fake, it still scares me half to death! IIN?

    Yes sharks have been known to just appear in people's back yard pools, ive even heard about baby sharks coming through the plumbing and attacking people on the toilet so just think about that the next time you dangle your tackle over the toilet.

    It's normal - they're generally more dangerous in the water than out of it.

    I read the book before the movie came out. The book was way scary. When I watched the movie I picked it apart. The only part that was scary to me in the movie was the very beginning when the girl was drunk and went swimming in the dark. The sounds she made bothered me alot.

    Yeah, it's pretty normal. Except, you're going a bit overboard with being afraid of the pool in the backyard. o.O

    Your fear is really extreme and illogical. You should at least be ok with swimming in a POOL or a lake

    The ocean is one thing; it's so vast, you really can't see much, and no one knows for sure what is out there and where. But your pool? You can see everything in it, so where would te shark come from?

    There's a new movie out called 'The Reef'. Watch that and your fear of the sharks and oceans will increase!

    sure its normal and we have white pointers that size here in australia so i wouldnt suggest you go swimming or surfing in our oceans. but sharks dont like eating us, they just get confused because surfers wear black and the sharks think they are seals. once they take a bite and taste how horrible we are, they will spit you right back out.
