Term 3 Week 4
Sticky Question Time!
What are you afraid of? What are you not afraid of? What if...
Really think about this. What it would be like? What would be the 'pros'? What would be the 'cons'?
Hi class,I think that it would be fun because...you wouldn't have to be scared of anything or be worried about anything. Also you could do lots of things without being scared of anything. Also if you are scared of the dark you wouldn't have to be scared when you go to bed if you don't have a night light. Also you won't need one because you aren't scared of anything.But the bad thing is you wouldn't have anything to be scared about and that would be kinda weird.Also everyone has something to be scared about so if you are scared of anything don't be embarrassed. Bye From Zara
It would take away your sense of challenge and achievement. Although not being afraid of something does not mean that you can automatically do it. Sometimes being a little afraid keeps you on your mettle (that's a great saying!) and makes you be careful.
Bonjour class! That is a great question. I think you would be bored if you weren't afraid of anything because there will be nothing to give you a fright. But you can also do anything you want because you're not afraid.
Hi Bloggers, If you weren't scared of anything then you can't learn anything I'll give an example: So say you were doing Blogs for the first time you would not be scared you would not be learning something new . The Pros of it is that you would know everything cause you couldn't learn. The Cons are that your teachers could not show you anything cause you would already understand. From Lilly🦊
There are so so many thing that would be a 'con' about not you were not afraid of anything. if you were not afraid of anything then that would mean that you would not be able to learn about the scary things such as, the creepy animals. Also you would not be able to get a fright so you might have hiccups for the rest of your life. But it would be really cool to never be afraid of anything because you would be able to chill all of the time and not be afraid if someone sneaks up on you.
Kia ora Teachers If I was not afraid of anything it will be awesome and fun you can do what you want because you are brave. But i'm afraid of a couple things like being in the dark.
Hi Class If I was afraid of something it will be 100% going to the doctor because at the doctors there are lots of things that the doctors do to you. I am not afraid of is a crab biting and getting me because I am used to be getting bitten by a kitten or a cat and bee and wasps and a lot more things that bit you or hurt you. By Bella At Yaldhurst Model School
yes I think lots of people don't enjoy going to the doctor for the same reason I think. Great to hear that a crab bite is similar to a cat, bee or a wasp although I find that if I've been bitten by a bee I get a nasty rash on my skin which can be really annoying for ages and itchy as well. Thanks for sharing. Mr Brown
Hiiii Ms Lange🙋🏻♀️ I think that if I was not afraid of anything I would be able to do what I am scared of at the moment. But if I did not to have to face my fears and stuff would be boring. Byyyyyyyyyyyyyy🙋🏻♀️
I think if I was not afraid that would be so weird because everyone is afraid of something like my mum is afraid of sheep and my brother is afraid of spiders.
I am afraid of chickens and pigeons. I am afraid of them because they have funny eyes. When I go into my chicken coop they look funny at me. This makes me scared. Pigeons in Wellington tried to eat my lunch. These are the things that I am scared of. Angus
Hi Class I think that if you were not afraid of anything than you would be happy. The problem is that you will never be able to be proud of you self for fighting your fear. The good thing about not being afraid of anything is that you can do whatever you want without being scared.
The point you have raised here is actually a very good one. There is a problem with being happy all the time as you will never have goals and things that you are aiming, striving towards. There is always a sense of achievement when you are able to conquer your fears and can do something that previously you couldn't. Mr Brown
kia ora Teachers If I was not afraid of anything I would do stuff I was to afraid of doing before. But things would be a bit boring because, I would not think and just keep on doing it. I would be able to overcome my fears. Emily.F
Kia ora Teachers,😜 I think that it would be boring because you won't get to do anything challenging and fun and you won't be able to try new things or you won't be scared so it would be very boring. Mischa.B
Kia ora Teachers, If you were not scared of any thing it would be good because you would not get scared if a your friend tries to scare you. It wouldn't work because it won't matter.
The point that you have made is exactly correct. We always need to be unsure of things in the world around us. I guess by doing so we are always looking to learn new things and ideas and therefore learn. Mr Brown
Kia Ora Miss Lange It would be bad because if you aren't afraid of a lion it can get mad and you would not be scared but then it can go crazy but I also think it would be good because you would not get bullied for being scared.
I am afraid of big poisonous spiders and snakes because if you get bitten. You could die. I am also afraid of heights. Especially very high heights. I am not afraid of small spiders and insects. I think life for someone who is not afraid of anything would be cool, because that person is brave like a superhero and they won't have fear to stop them doing anything. We think being fearless could be dangerous as that person might do something that may harm them, because they think they can do something but they might not be physically capable and/or skilled enough to do it; eg, jumping from a high rock to another mountain rock.
Yes I would also be scared of poisonous spiders and snakes as well. There is always a chance you could die. I like the way that you have also said that your not afraid of everything out in the wild. Mr Brown
Hi Class If I was not afraid of everything I would jump of a cliff to show it and I would do everything too so people know that I can do that and I would might be famous. But if I hurt myself I would go to the hospital. From Lilly
Hi class If I was not afraid of anything I would climb the highest mountain and look at the nice warm sunset and then fall. Because it would be so fun to do and I would fly like a eagle in the sky. From Ruby
If I was not afraid of anything I would dive down to the bottomest part of the sea, but that is a bad thing because I could hurt myself, the good thing is that I probably won't give up.
Kia ora teachers I an afraid of a big ponice spider and snake because they could kill you. In one bite because of there pounce bite. If you were not scared of any thing that will be amazing, because that person will be brave at everything. if the was a big spider close to you will stay calm and brave. And if there was a bully bullying a kid he will probably stop him because he is not scared. lots of people could slip ofer when they are on skises on the snowy mountain because it could be slippery or they are just learning how to do it but the person that is brave will do it properly because he is brave and calm and there might of been at the start they might say how to do it and he listened to him or she.
If I was not afraid of anything I would do cool tricks in the playground and become an acrobat, but if I was not scared of anything I could do something very dangerous and get seriously hurt.
Hi Miss Lange. I think that it would be fun being not scared of anything because your life would be full of fun. You wouldn't get scared riding a rollercoaster or bungy jumping. The cons of not being scared is picking up a snake and getting bitten.
Hi Te Mahuri, I have really enjoyed reading your comments so far on this question about living without fear. What I now wonder is would exciting things be as exciting if you felt no fear? Keep on thinking! Ms L
