Airplanes
My brother is getting married next month. He lives in Washington and we have to fly there for the wedding. I am scared to death to fly and I really don't even want to go if I have to. Should I say something to my parents? Should I just go and hope it doesn't crash? HELP!

Aw. Sweetie I was scared to fly also, but airplane security is so amazing now, they wont let anyone in. Once you walk in the doors and go to security, they make you empty your pockets, and take off your shoes. They scan your carry on's thoroughly so theres no way anyone can get on that plane with a gun to force anyone to crash the plane. Your not even allowed to carry on lighters or matches, so since there are no weapons that could force someone to do something, allowed on the plane, nothing should happen. Hes your brother sweetie, go to his wedding and dont be worried about planes, Ive flown about 10 times since 9/11 - youll be absolutely FINE. =)

I am scared to fly on airplanes too, but I have to sometimes. It makes me feel better to pray that the plane will not crash and that we will get there safely. Sometimes you just have to trust God. Also try staying busy on the plane, keep a journal or listen to your cd player/mp3/ipod.
Anyways, think logically. It is more often that the plane gets there safely than it crashes right? Yep, plane crashes are atcually kind of rare. So don't worry about it because:
1. The pilots know what they are doing, alot of them have trained in the airforce, and they have been flying planes for many years!
2. Ever since September 11th, Airport Security has been very tight, so that should make you feel safer.
Love & Peace,

Dude! Flying is the best! I love to fly!!!!!
However. There isnt anything to worry about. Planes almost never crash. You have a better chance at being struck by lightning, or eaten by a shark. I say just go and take the "crash" course in flying. (giggles like a school girl.) If it does happen to crash, then it was just meant to be your time. However I am willing to bet 14,094,384,837.5 American Dollars, it wont crash. So...if you do crash...you're one rich mamma. ;-)
Hope I helped!
(and you wont crash...trust me.)

i used to be extremely EXTREMELY scared of flying. i just kind of got over it after flying a bunch of times, i think its something you have to jsut get over. its your borhters wedding, and you should be there. plus i live up here in washington and its beatiful here so you dont want to miss it!

think of it this way...the day you're suppose to die...nothing can stop it...not even if you stay in bed all day with all your doors locked...and planes don't crash often at all...its very unlikely for a plane to crash now a days. it's more likely for you to get into a car crash then a plane crash

I was EXTREMELY scared of airplanes the first time I went on one, too. But honestly, now every time I see an airplane up in the sky I wish I was on it, I loved flying so much. I would go, because its a very important day for your brother. To help get over your fears of flying, REMEMBER that THOUSDANDS of flights go out a day, and one crashes maybe every 6 months, IF that. I'll let you do the math. ;) Also, airports nowadays are very busy, because of security and such. Keep yourself wrapped up in what you need to do next. Like, "Now I need to go pick up my ticket." "now I need to go through the first wave of security." OKay now I need to go check my luggage" and so forth, and then you shouldn't have too much anxiety about flying until time comes that you're sitting on the airplane. But then you take off, and I can almost promise you'll like it. Good luck!

You shouldn't be scared!!! It's mmuch much more dangerous to drive in a car than an airplane and I'm sure you do that every single day!!! I think you shouldn't mis your brother's wedding because then what kind of sister would you be?? See him on his big day and overcome your fear of airplanes. I'm sure the flight attendants will try to do the best they can to comfort you.

You should mention your fear to your parents. They might have ideas to help you cope and will be supportive. Extremly few planes ever crash, you are far more likely to be in an car accident then a plane crash.
Bring music to listen to, plenty to read, and even take some medicine to help you sleep and keep your tummy sound. Make sure you take slow deep breaths and stay relaxed. Bring some hard candies to suck on during the take off and the landing, that will help you keep your ears from poping and feeling the height so much.
Having said that. Please go! This is your brother, and marriage is a once in a life time deal. The couple will probably be deeply hurt if you don't come to thier wedding, and many other members of your family will be dissapointed too. Welcome your sister-in-law into the family in person, you'll probably regret it if you miss this day.

It's nothing to worry about AT ALL. Of course you can say something to your parents that you're scared to fly. I know plenty of people are afraid to fly. I'm still scared to fly a little... But really it's not that bad. Plane crashes are SO unlikely to happen. I think you'll be fine. The only part that is a little scary is takeoff. It's a little bumpy but you'll be FINE!!! Bring a book or a CD/MP3 player with you to listen to while you're on the plane and it should calm you down. You can even take a few sleeping pills before you go on the flight so that way you'll sleep the whole way. But it's nothing to be worried about. You really will be okay. But if you're still nervous, then really talk to your parents. But I think your brother would be really upset if you didn't go to the wedding. Just talk to your parents... But I reaaaallllly think you should go!!! But hey, that's just my opinion.

I htink you should just go for it...it's better to conquer you fears and ever since 911 they have undercover people on the planes to keep it under control! But if you are too scared then tell you parents. Good Luck!! x0x ♥
