Hey! Don't feel bad, I was 30 before I was not afraid of the dark. Now I feel darkness is comforting and friendly. It took a lot of work, but I did it!

Don't worry about it, I'm almost 5 times your age and I'm still not entirely comfortable in the dark, but nothing bad's happened to me.

There is nothing in the dark that is not already there in the light. (That's only in movies). Darkness is GOOD. It is the time that Mother Nature takes Her long earned rest. Enjoy it!

I think you should face the fear.. try turning off all the lights, but listening to some music you like.. acclamate yourself to it.. you get uncomfortable turn the lights on, make sure everything is okay, then try again.... me personally I have an irrational fear of Zombies, and hey LOVE the dark..

No big deal. Most people have a fear of the unknown, and the dark pretty much makes everything the unknown. If that is your biggest problem in life, you'll be fine. I actually enjoy the dark. The dark has never hurt me. It was the hole that I stepped in while in the dark that hurt me.

The dark is the identical same as the daylight. the only difference is a person hears better in the night and see better in the daylight. Being afraid of the dark is normal. it lies within all of us to a degree. it is definitely not dumb to be afraid of the dark. i was when i was your age, but i soon outgrew the fear. it will happen to you. This is the reason man invented light bulbs. to be turned on at night, after the sun goes down. Tell you mom to buy you a nite lite, two if necessary. The dark may make you afraid, but remember this: The angels will always be with you, daytime...night time, makes no difference. when you are really afraid, ask an angel to ease your fear away. it will happen, if you believe.

Try using a night light. It really helps to be able to see that there's nothing to fear. You'll grow out of it, trust me. I was afraid of the dark at your age.

there's two kinds of people in the world, people who are afraid of the dark, and people who feel at home in it. i'd prefer to be the first kind! as another guy said, its all about fear of the unknown. 13's not even that old, so its nothing to be ashamed of

What exactly do you fear?
-
My brother is 40 and he's still afraid of the dark. I wouldn't worry over much about it if I were you. You will probably out grow it.

Dude I was afraid of the dark til I was 25 don't worry about it. And I'm 26 & I still use a nite lite.
