@k.rami87: Idk why that was such a fear of mine, any ways. #school #sun #lol #scream #kids

Julie Gutierrez :

Why did we take that burden on at such a young age 😂

konnaharper :

This and tectonic plates freaked me OUT 😭😭

zues2k6 :

we were so worried about the sun dying, quick sand, and being kidnapped

troygirl24 :

I’m a teacher and after I explained this to my students, one of them started to cry. I wasn’t thinking and said “don’t worry, we’ll be dead long before that happens.” 🙄🤷🏼‍♀️

Togocaan :

I started having nightmares when I was told that the ozone layer was being damaged😭😭

NachMachoMatteo :

Don’t forget the Bermuda Triangle 😂 how we thought we would get lost there

user998922639815 :

Someone told me “the sun will grow so huge it will swallow the earth one day” layed in my room every night sobbing imagining getting sizzled alive☠️😭😭

Faith :

Even the Bermuda Triangle

introvertcatlady :

I'm old so...I used to sob myself to sleep because the Russians were supposedly going to nuke us. Politicians and their fear mongering really out there giving kids nightmares for probably centuries....😭

ChaosG0blin :

And that’s when the existentialism began

qwertypoiuyy :

when my 6th grade teacher joyfully told us about the super volcano underneath Yellowstone....that one def kept me up at night

AK Oldmanbeimler :

Just wait till urgent 8th grade science teacher talks about the universe combusing or becoming cold

hades_prince32 :

I’m ready for that shit to happen now. I’m currently in my 30’s

ED HARDY1213 :

when I heard stuff like this I dint care because I knew we all die way before then

Stephanie🌟 :

My teacher told us this in 3rd grade, one of my classmates started to cry and my teacher was like "don't worry, you'll be long gone by then." She cried even harder. 😅

user4684024116728 :

And the unreasonable fear of quicksand

Nicholas Rendon :

It continues to be a source of existential dread for me.

ash.brooke1228 :

Me when I learned about the Mayan calendar ending in 2012 I fr thought we all were gonna die 😂

Jesse Timberwood :

All of our fates involved alligators chasing you into quicksand where you’d get stuck and have 9 minutes after the sun exploded for the radiation to torch us all.

Michael's Exploratio :

ghostlychaos :

I'd look toward the sun and become super sad because I imagined that each time I looked towards it would be the last time before it dies. I imagined it dying right then and there. Literally traumatized!

Im Just Saiyan :

No but why did they tell us things like this WAY too young? Our parents and Gen X and Boomer adults were the worst generation to ever exist
