Today, my 14-year-old son was terrified of going into the water near our house, because he was scared of having his leg bitten off by a shark. We live by a lake. I tried explaining why it couldn't happen, but he just cowered behind a beach towel. FML

Too much shark week? I'm really scared of sharks too. I won't go in the ocean, just in lakes. Once when I was a kid the surf was Really calm and my mom told me it was just the biggest lake I'd ever seen, well I got stung by a jellyfish and figured it out and never trusted her again.

If he really thinks theres a shark in there, hes stupid. But i have a phobia of sharks and even though i know there not in lakes or pools im still terrified when i swim. If i see water something in my brain triggers all these horrible images of me being eaten by one. Cant explain it, but its a heart stopping, adrenaline induced terror of mine! So dont force him in if he doesnt want to go in!!! Youll just terrify him and f@ck him up even more!

I'm the same way...not pools though. I tell myself it's stupid though and go in anyways.

Someone has been watching too much shark week!!

He must have seen the preview for the upcoming movie "Shark Night." The premise of the movie involves a killer shark that lives in a lake, even though it is "impossible." I'm afraid if he has seen that, you're going to have a land-lubber on your hands. Just hope that "Shark Night 2" doesn't involve a shark that attacks from showers and bathtubs, or your gullible kid will become a dirty, dirty man.

Too much Shark Week for the boy. I suggest you should block his T.V. with your parental controls.

That kid probably shouldn't have watched shark week.
