Fear is an emotion every human being holds. A persistent and intense fear of a situation or object is called a phobia. It can be recurrent and unrealistic. Persons with phobias become over- whelmed in fear. If they are kept in a situa- tion with their phobia, they sometimes panic and begin to cry. A common meth- od used to treat phobias is psychoanalysis. This is an examination of the mind to dis- cover mental causes for the phobia. The location is sometimes related to the phobia. A person can have claustrophobia, which is a fear of confined space, or agora- phobia, which is a fear of a large or open space. There are many types of phobias which include astraphobia, a fear of thun- derstorms, hydrophobia, a fear of water, zoophobia, a fear of animals and nycto- phobia, a fear of dark. Some phobias seem quite ridiculous to others. There are those who have a tear of tear, which is phobo- phobia, and others that have a fear of the French or France, which is Francophobia. Phobias can be mild or very dangerous. Some people can laugh at a person ' s fear of height or space, but they are just laugh- ing at themselves. Everyone has a fear of one thing or another. It is an emotion. It is a part of us. Some students were questioned about their greatest fear, and there were many different replies. Ellen Pistone replied, that she had a fear of the dark. The fear of being alone at night was Gina Graham ' s comment. A fear of heights was Patty Burch ' s greatest fear and she was not alone. Many others answered that that was their greatest fear too. It was very easy to find one ' s greatest fear because it is often lodged in the mind and can not be forgot- ten. by Lori Forrest 4 1.
