Friday the 13th is feared by millions of people worldwide (Credit: Rosie huntington-whiteley,/CC BY-SA 3.0/Creativecommons.org)

For most people, Friday the 13th is just another day on the calendar. However, for the superstitious, it is the unluckiest day of the year. The irrational fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia. It affects over twenty million people in the US and many more worldwide. Some of the anxiety can be blamed on the namesake movie series. However, the day's bad reputation began long before the film's hockey-masked villain, Jason Voorhees, made his debut in 1980.

          I am scared of snakes, and also thi8ng with a bunch of holes. How can I overcome my fears, well sometimes we should accept what are fears are and they look like and deal with it. But also probably by getting used to seeing the thing you're scared of a lot, so you get used to it and not be scared by it.

              No the only way to get over your fear is to hold a snake at least once then go near snakes and other things you are scared of

                    Why are you scared of things with a bunch of holes?

                    By the way, I am somewhat superstitious.(But still not scared of thirteen!) Friday the Thirteenth is a great day for witches, BTW. But don't worry, some witches are good, like Glinda from the Wizard of Oz! In fact , most witches are good ones, so don't be scared of poor old Friday the Thirteenth, and don't be scared of witches!
