The things I’m afraid of are some insects like spiders and animals and specially when my brother kills like spiders and picks them up and like tries to throw them at me.  I just start to scream and run and he chases after me.  I really hate when my brother does that to me.  Some times I just wish I can do that to him but I am just really scared of insects such as spiders and more specially when he gets my dad’s dog out and tries to make the dog attack me.  I wish he was scared instead of me.  I just hate it ever since I was little I was always scared of animals and insects.  My mom always said I was scared just petting a dog I would just start crying but now I only like one dog and that’s my Chihuahua it’s really little that’s why I’m not scared of it but it took me a while to get used to the dog.
