I was on Instagram and came across a comment. It read:
"If you stop reading this your going to die. I am teresa fidalgo if you don't repost this on 20 photos I will sleep with you forever. This girl ignored an her mom died 29 days later and its true. You can search me on google". I posted that on 20 photos because I was so scared. I still am. I'm so scared and I don't know why. I searched the girl's name and saw a picture and immediently clicked out. I didn't read the story because I was so frightened... What should I do?? Is this normal? Please oh please help me.

No harm will come to you or anyone you love or care about because of this posting.
How can I be sure you might ask, well for several reasons.
First off, it's a psychological condition called "magical thinking" in which people attribute one thing with creating or effecting something else that is not related. An example is the old saying "If you step on a crack you'll break your mother's back." Clearly stepping on a crack has no bearing on your mother's health whatsoever.
Second, if you are a person of faith in any way, you surely believe that you can ask for the protection of a higher power. Could there ever be any goofy Internet prank that could be more powerful than that? Heck no!
Last but not least, just listen to feedback of other people who have posted answers to this question. Some have even been through the experience themselves and have had nothing happen to them.

If it was true, then I would've been dead probably like 20 times for not reposting or fowarding any of that.
I think those are super annoying. They're just to freak people out and I guess they really do.
Just don't read those types of things and realize that they're fake.
It's not a nice thing to do to other people either, so don't post on their pictures or videos.

ieatjello answered Friday June 20 2014, 9:09 am: Ignore and delete the comment because that's just spam. I used to get those messages in chain mails when I was younger and I believed those messages because I thought it was real. And then I realized I was being dumb and I started ignoring these messages and honestly, I'm still fine today.
Just ignore, someone is just out there to scare you but these things are fake. [ ieatjello's advice column | Ask ieatjello A Question ]
Razhie answered Friday June 20 2014, 6:03 am: It's okay to be scared. These things are designed to scare people, but you have to remember that chain letters like this are always, completely and totally false.
They are created only to hurt people, and to spread like viruses. The best, kindest smartest thing you can do is NOT spread them. There are no monsters under your bed, and chain letters like this are always lies.
Valentina answered Friday June 20 2014, 2:09 am: You or your family members will not die, if they did it would be pure coincidence. It's lies. Don't panic and you will see your life will continue just the way it did.
I even checked online the real teresa fidalgo died in 1983, so presumably way before you were born. Goggle teresa fidalgo fake, you will see.
