I'm sure we've all had at least one moment during our childhoods that could've scared us to death. I wanna hear about the worst one!

I almost fainted at school once because of low blood sugar. For some reason, in 7th grade, I started thinking I was very fat (my weight was normal). I tried to eat as little as possible and brought no snacks to school. During class, I suddenly felt very tired and like I was blacking out. I asked to go to the nurse. It's a feeling as if you are very tired and you can feel yourself falling asleep, but have no control over it. On my way to the nurse, I tried to walk by classrooms so if I fainted students could see me through the windows. Then, my ears felt blocked, and I could barely see. Thank God I got to the nurse safely. Warning signs: feeling tired, not getting enough sleep, not getting enough food, overexercising. I'm not a medical professional, but the nurse told me I should always keep some kind of sugar-y food with me - candy with lots of sugar, cookies, sometimes even honey mixed with water - so I could elevate my blood sugar quickly if it happens again. And, of course, I've never starved myself after that.

This is more of a near death experience, but it was still terrifying. When I was 11, I would go to the pool with my brother and we would play with water toys. One day, I took a water toy that I didn't know my brother was using and he started to attack me. He would push me under the water so that I wasn't able to breathe. At one point I punched him so he would get off of me, but that just made him angrier. He wrapped his hands around my throat and then choked me. Then he shoved me back under water, while he was still strangling me. I blacked out from lack of oxygen and stress. Luckily, I had a friend who recognized me and tried grabbing me. If she hadn't been there, I'm not totally sure what the outcome would've been. I had bruises from where he held my throat.

This is more of a, it was scarier to younger me than the time I nearly drowned. Which I did, but this was somehow scarier.

Me and a friend lived in Alaska at the time, and we were taking a detour through the forest to get to school since we had time. We walked along it abs we spot a momma and baby moose sleeping. The mom raised its head abs looked directly at us. It started to get up and we just started running out of their. By the time we stopped we were at school and gasping for breath.

And that’s it have a good day everyone!

That seems a bit nerve-wracking, I admit. I'm sure the mother was just trying to intimidate you, though. I don't think she would've hurt you just because you were looking at her. Unless something seemed threatening about you, which I'm sure there wasn't.
