Cryophobia(:

Cryophobia is the fear of extreme cold, ice or frost. Another name for this is frigophobia. I sure hope the people who live in South Dakota don't have this fear because it can get pretty cold here. Pagophobia is another word for the fear of ice or frost. This seems to be a phobia that has a lot of different names or ways to refer to it. Pluviophobia is the fear of rain or of being rained on, this year we haven't had a lot of rain but this would be a very hard phobia to live with because the weather kind of does what it wants and i don't know of many places except the desert were it does not snow or rain.

Ha...this one is pretty funny..

Ephebiphobia is the fear of teenagers. This could be a problem depending on what your career was, most careers have something to do with teenagers. I work at Dairy Queen so I see teenagers every night. If you were a teacher this would expecially be a problem. I was trying to find a fear of teachers but I found out there is no scientific name for the fear of teachers. I bet some people do have a fear of teachers though. Sometimes school makes you feel a little dead inside and since I already did the fear of school i will do the fear of dying. Necrophobia is the fear of things associated with death such as coffins and graveyards. This can also be the fear of dying. Now, when your dying...you may have to go to the hospital. Some people have a fear of hospitals. Nosocomephobia is the fear of hospitals.

In conclusion, if you are scared of teachers when you go to the classroom you might want to die but be scared to. Then, when you go to the hospital you will be too scared and end up dying anyway.

Imagine this!

Ablutophobia is the fear of washing or bathing, this would probably be one of the worst phoias i could imagine. Most of us shower everyday so its crazy to believe that some people are scared of showering or washing themselves. This is very uncommon but also very serious. This event can be caused by a tramatic past event that happened to you or a family member. This phobia is very socially unexceptable because society now thinks you should shower. You can get on medication but social interaction may also help.

Hydrophobia is the fear of water. This also includes a fear of getting in a boat or learning to swim. Hydrophobia is usually caused by seeing a friend almost drown or almost drowning yourself. I seriously tink i may be afraid of water to an extent. If someone who had this phobia was to fall in water they may kill themselves just from struggling so much.  This can also be treated with some medications and slow steps toward water. This is a frustrating  phobia because water is almost always near you in some way.
