I am afraid of heights they are just the scariest thing ever! It’s really for me to go on roller coasters. Also hiking and rock climbing is scary .But one time at Ober Gatlinburg the sky tram takes you over 1,000 feet high. I think that’s insane and there chair lift takes you over 1,400 feet high.
Chandler Skaggs, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

What are you afraid of? I´m afraid of spiders because they are funny and they look weird. One day when we were getting ready to go on a ride in the woods I saw a spider on my side of the ranger and I wouldn’t let him my daddy take off until he got the spider off of my side of the ranger. The other thing that I´m afraid of is snakes. I don´t like Copper Heads because they raise up their heads and puff up. So I´m not a big fan of snakes my mom is so afraid of snakes to but my dad isn’t scared of snakes. I am afraid of something else and it is cockroaches and roaches. I do not like these insects because they have no fur the only thing that they have is legs and they are slick. Now you know what I´m afraid of.
Charisa Moore, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

What I am afraid of is clowns. The reason I am afraid of clowns because one time I was riding my four-wheeler in the woods and I saw a shack that was tore up and stuff like that, I thought it was a good idea to go check it out. So I went in it and there was a clown sitting there in a chair and had a sign saying free hugs and told me to give him a hug and I was like NO! Another reason is when I was asleep at two a clock in in the morning I heard something down stairs. I went down stairs and the front door was open. So I looked outside and there was that same clown that chased me the other time! He even had a stick in hands. Another reason is because on a YouTube video I saw a killer clown try to break into Jake Paul’s house. When they got in there they stole his Lamborghini and his dog. Eventually he got them back. Once I was at my cousin’s house in the back woods and we were playing killer clown hide and seek to see if the clown would come back in the game because that’s what he is. So I looked in the shed. I didn’t see Aiden. Then after that I looked in the barn. I didn’t see him there, but there was a blanket. So I lifted the blanket and there was that same clown again. So I ran and told my mom the clown was back. She ran out there and looked and he was gone. So I turned around and there he was. So then I went and tackled him, but then he threw me off and got away. Since that day I have never seen him again. I´m sure I will one day though. That is the reason I am afraid of clowns.
Chase Pearce, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I´m afraid of clowns because there pretty creepy. My worst nightmare is being chased. My best worst nightmare but, in a bad way is when I go in a carnival and kids is just having fun with the clowns but, in the end SLICE! I hear kids getting killed. I try to run out but, then there is clown right in front of me then SLICE! But, luckily it was a dream so we are all good but, are we?
Chase Weston, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of the dark because I can’t see where I am going in the dark. I am afraid that my sister will jump out of the closet. I am afraid that I will run in to things. I am afraid that I will run in to the wall.
Chloey Parks, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

What are you afraid of? I am afraid of a big albino banana snake. The story of this was when I went to the edge of Kentucky and we were walking on a trail along somewhere and this big snake came out and I took some pictures. I almost got bit by it!
Collyn Neff, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of getting kidnapped. The reason I am afraid of getting kidnapped is, I would never see my family again. One time my family and I went to my sister’s softball tournament in Johnson City. Six kids almost got kidnapped. I was playing with my friend Avery. Every time he got out of my sight I just assumed that he got kidnapped. It was scary because I was yelling his name and he did not answer. I would really hate getting kidnapped.
Elijah Stafford, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I hate spiders. Since I was 5 years old I have never liked spiders. My mom is scared of them too. My brother is a little bit. My little sister is too. As long as I can remember I was scared of spiders even if they are little. I am so, so scared. The water spiders I am scared of. I have seen people on YouTube have pet spiders. Never ever will I have a pet spider. That’s just too much. If I see them outside I never go back out.
Glocklyn Morris, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of spiders because they are deadly, scary, and weird. I believe in ghosts and demons, but that does not mean I like them. I know that there real because I was at my cousin’s house and at night about 12:00 we heard scratching on the door, and the vacuum cleaner started out of know where. I hate snakes because there scary and hide in places you can’t see them.
Grant Howell, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

What are you afraid of? I am afraid of spiders because they are really hairy and they have 8 long legs but the bad thing about spiders they can be poisonous. One time I was going in my room and I saw spiders in the corners of my room. My mom told me to go to bed and I was up all night just staring at the spiders just in case they moved.
Hannah Cowan, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of 2 things: snakes and heights. Why I don´t like snakes is because the devil was in the form of a snake. I’m afraid of heights because I don’t want to fall from a high place and get hurt. I am more afraid of snakes than heights I can stand to go high but I don’t like to.
Jace Keene, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of my pawpaw’s garage. One day when I was 9 years old, 2 years ago, I went to get on my four-wheeler and there was a big rat sitting on the front of my ATV. I did not notice it until I got on it and it jumped on me and ran for my life.
Jacob Snodgrass, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

Two main things I am afraid of are losing family and poisonous snakes. When I was nine I was digging for worms and dug up a ground snake and got bit. The main reason I am afraid of snakes is the venom. When we lost Pa it was the most terrifying time of my life. I really don’t know what we will do without Granny. It’s just not fun at all.
James Carmony, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of snakes. Snakes can swallow a big mouse whole. So it can swallow my foot whole. One time my parents were helping us kids around the farm. When it became dark outside we were picking up hay my papaw had just baled with his tractor. My mom was starting to pick up a hay bale. My dad yelled be careful there might be a snake under it. My mom picked it up and a snake slithered out from under the hay bale. She screamed to the top of her lungs snake.
Jaycee Parks, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of spiders unless I am watching them on YouTube. My story is that I was coming on my porch and my mom said “do not move”. There was a black widow on the porch. Luckily I was not bitten. If I am on my phone I will sometimes look up tarantula and more that I cannot remember.
Jayme Livesay, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I´m scared of chickens. I always think that they will peck me. I walk up to a chickens and it chased me. I hate chickens. They are DEADLY. My friend Mikah she got pecked by a chicken. She had a BIG brush. My dad John got poked in the eye.
John Carter, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I’m afraid of snakes. One time when I was little. I was on the back porch and they were a snake at the bottom of the stairs. I yelled mom and finally my mom came outside. She saw the snake ran to the buildings she come out of the building with a pick ax. Then she came back and she struck at it she looked down and saw she had hit it. Mom ran up on the porch where I was. We watched it slither up into a bush we never saw it again.
Johnna Bledsoe, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of snakes and sharks. About a year ago I was at my house and then I went in to my kitchen. Then when I went in there, there was a snake on the table and I told my dad and he went in there and it was not in there. About a month ago I went to the beach and I got in the water and there was a shark and it was the scariest thing that I have seen in my whole life.
Joseph Sutphin, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I´m afraid of spiders. Spiders are one of the scariest insects out there. Why? For example: A spider walks on you or crawls on you, when a spider sucks out blood from other insects that get stuck in the web. A spider would freak you out if were a jumping spider, daddy-long leg, tarantula, water spiders, huge spiders, small spiders, and blah blah blah. There is one thing that makes me scared about of spiders is, when they create a web when you don´t know, and then it attaches the web on you without you knowing, and the spider comes at you. That´s what is scary about a spider. 2 more scary things about it, it has 8 legs and it has 6 or more eyes.
Joseph Horner, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

What are you afraid of? I am afraid getting hurt on Vault. Vault is an event in gymnastics and the reason I am afraid of it is because once I was doing a Vault and I fell. I almost broke my neck and my hip. For the rest of the day I sat in the same spot. But my coach made sure I was fine.
Julia Britton, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of scorpions because one time I almost got scratched by one of them. Now I never want to see one again.
Justin Franklin, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

What are you afraid of? I am afraid of snakes. One reason I am afraid of snakes is because of how big they can get. Another reason I am afraid of them is because they can kill you. One time I watched a movie called ” Anaconda.” That was scary. It was scary because knowing things like that can really happen and they can be that big and that dangerous. There are videos I have watched on YouTube saying babies have died because their parents have left unattended with a snake. Having that thought in your mind makes you have goosebumps cause it can really happen.
Justina Lowder, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of clowns because clowns are scary to me. Clowns have a red nose and clown’s shoes. They have a mask that will scare me so much. Watch for clowns!!!
Katelynn Taylor, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

I am afraid of spiders. One reason is they can bite. Also, their bites can be poisonous. Another reason is they have 8 pointy little legs to crawl on you with. Here is a story of why I’m afraid of spiders. When I was 5 I was at my Mamaw Teresa’s house. About a week ago she had got a terrible bite by a poisonous spider. When I first walked in the door to her house I saw a big red and purple bump on her arm. I didn’t know what it was so being a little kid I asked. When she told me I didn’t want to stay the night anymore, but I did. Every time I see a spider now tiny or big I freak out. Even if I think about one it gives me chill bumps. I am very much afraid of spiders!
Kylah Parsons, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin

If I’m going to fully honest I’m scared of my grandma’s dog. His name is Cooper. Look I know it’s silly to be scared of a dog but he bites you if you even try to pet him. Every time I’m at her house he tries to bite me and not in a playful way. If you leave your food out on the counter for even a second and he sees it and he tries to get it if you try to get it back he will bite and growl at you. Cooper made my grandma and me both bleed. And that’s why I’m scared of my grandma’s dog.
