You're ok.... you only have a little life experience, so it's no wonder you're scared. Relax. Consider this from my life experience...
When I was a little kid, we used to have A-bomb drills at school and practice hiding under desks (as if that would help when an A-bomb hit). Every one was scared... the end of the world was coming. That was the 50's.
When I was a teenager, little Israel was attacked by most all of the Arab countries surrounding it. Most Christians were 'scared' thinking that "this was it... the last days". Well, they ended up calling it the 7-days War, because Israel soundly defeated all of them in a week. That was, I believe, in 1967.
Kind of the same thing happened in 1973, but it took Israel a little longer. A couple of weeks, but people also thought it was the 'end of the world'.
The first Gulf War, people were anxious, because Iraq was the Babylon of old... the days leading up to the war were scary. That War only took 3 or 4 days to reach and liberate Kuwait City. The World survived.
I remember 3 years ago when the Iraq War was about to start, there were posters with your type of post....and here we are, 3 years later. Don't be fearful of Life...it has a way of taking care of itself. Just live your life a day at a time, and don't buy into the fear. Live as if "the end of the World" is scheduled for the year 2312, you'll be a lot happier.
