Kidnapping
OK, this may seem weird, but it's something that really scares me. Im really scared of being kidnapped. Now that it is summer, i really need to keep my window open, but what if someone cut the screen? If my parents are already in bed, I go around the house, checking to make sure every door is locked. I wanna stop being afraid. Am i being way too paranoid? HELP ME !!! I RATE HIGH

well you have same problem as me. i was sooo scared of people coming and break in. i mean even tiniest sound of leaf scared the living crap out of me. but you will grow out of that like me. i am still scared sometimes but not as much now. but here is what you can do to feel safe.
1. lock all the doors.
2. have the phone available (just in case u gotta call 911)
3. have someone be with you
4. at night, get a night light so you know whats happening around. and lock your room door and all the windows...
and if that dont help, talk to your parents about it because they will help
and hope i helepd too =)

pray to god for protection adn he will protect you! also dont let fear run your life and get a gun or knife or somtipe of thing to fight with by your bed or in close reach if that makes you feel better. God is the ultimate protection he can do anything!

I sometimes do this. Its kinda normal. If you're really scared, call the cops or get someone to sleep near you to reassure you that everything's going to be ok.

It's good to be aware that kidnapping is a possible danger, but don't be too afraid. It will help to comfort you if you think of what you would do in that situation.

I highly recommend taking martial arts classes, especially tang soo do. Once you know how to defend yourself, you will feel much less fearful of kidnapping or any other kind of confrontational situation.
I grew up fighting, so I never had much fear for myself, but when I had children I was always scared about them being kidnapped! Now that they have taken a few years of martial arts and know how to defend themselves, I am not nearly as plagued with worry as I used to be.
Here's what you do in the short term, and this is going to sound weird, but two things that really scare attackers are noise and insanity. In the unlikely event that someone should enter your room, act crazy and make a lot of noise. By acting crazy, I mean SCREAM, a high-pitched, threatening-sounding, LOUD scream, and wet yourself. Growl and snarl and act as menacing as you can. Few attackers will hang around in the face of such behavior. The reason? Noise attracts unwanted attention. And crazy people are unpredictable and dangerous. Your attacker will go looking for an easier target.

i used to feel the same way (then i moved) but most likely someone wont break in. do you have a bush in front of your window? you could keep pepper spray close by. if you have a dog, maybe see if he/she will sleep in your room or keep your bedroom door open or a nightlight ( i know that might seem childish but who cares)

i think you are paranoid because if someone wanted to get you that bad..they can always break your window. just try concentrating on not living your life in fear. if you really dont feel safe sleep with a knife by your bed oor something

its ok to be scared of being kidnapped, the trick is not to let it rule your life! while it is a real therate, generally most kidnappings happen while walking alone, so the therate of the cutting of screens is almost nonessitiant. just watch out for yourself, if you notice something strange tell someone.its ok to be afriad, and if your ever afriad in the night just do what i do, i call on god and just ask him to protect me and my family and to make the fear go away!
best of luck!

I went through this thing some years ago :)... being kidnapped is a frightening idea, but chances are it won't happen to you. This fright is most likely just a stage, so for now I suggest doing whatever makes you feel safe until the feeling passes... it worked for me :) feel better dear <3

aw hun, your not being paranoid. Every person has something their afraid of. kidnapping is very serious and you shouldn't feel weird being afraid of it. Every person has worried about kiddnapping at least twice. if you want to stop being afraid, block your window with something when you open it. Your being very responsible by checking if the doors are locked. Have something loud by your bed that you can set off or something just in case a kidnapper does come you can ring it or something and your parents will wake up. kidnapping is very serious. But you seem like your handling it well already. Just don't think about kidnapping for a while. Read a book or watch a movie before you go to bed. hope i helped

I don't think you are being too paranoid. You are just being safe. A lot of kidnaps aoocur nowadays. You are being very responisble by checking to see if every door is locked. I think that it is good that you are scared of it. I don't mean it in a "mean" way, it's jsut good because you will be safe, unlike many people. Many people don't even check to see if their doors are locked ((me included)) so you are doing something very good!! I say just don't worry about it too much!! Just make sure the doors are locked, and just keep doing what you're doing! Hope I helped some.
Love always,
Kerry
