"My fears are called phobias. I am afraid to fly; be in the middle of a crowded place; I fear authority figures (boss, teacher, parent, etc.). Sometimes I get so nervous that I feel as though I'm having a heart attack; I get chest pains that run down my left arm, and feel that I can't breathe or swallow. I scream if I see something that frightens me (mouse, bug, etc), and start to sweat and tremble."

first you must start wide, talk about what is fear, why do people get scared? and slowly end your first paragraph in what you are scared of.
in the second paragraph talk about why you think or know you are afraid from that thing, and how do u react towards it
in your third paragraph you can talk about how you can over come this fear, and the steps toward being scared free from whatever you are gonna talk about.
then you may enter into your conclution. start out by telling what u are afraid of. how do u react, and u would try to change, and then finish it up saying it is okay to be afraid, and express your fear; however we must all try to make this world a better place in overcoming our fears.
a four paragraph essay, nice and simple and don't need a lot of thinking. if you are to write one paragraph. start with a topic scentence saying what u are afraid of, then say how you translate this fear into actions and end it up by telling the reader that you will try to get rid of the fear. this is an easy A

Begin with your philosophy on fear. What makes you afraid? How do you respond to fear? Next go back in time and think of a time when you were truly afraid... how did you deal with it? Did you scream, cry, or were you silent? Think about your body sign... do you get clammy and cold? Do you get hot? Does your stomach turn flips? Maybe you throw up... all of these things can be used in writing an expressive response to fear.

I would describe physiological reactions. Tenseness in the back or shoulder or neck muscles, feeling like you are on edge, hyper-alert, or backed against a wall with no way out. Maybe the character feels himself perspiring or heart racing or pounding harder than usual. Or maybe he or she bites her lip with worry. Those should give you some ideas.

Try facial expressions and physical emotions such as trembling or crying. Describe the feeling you get in your stomach when you're scared.

Fear, emotion caused by threat of some form of harm, sometimes manifested in bravado or symptoms of anxiety, and prompting a decision to fight the threat or escape from it.
emotional state in which people feel uneasy, apprehensive, or fearful. People usually experience anxiety about events they cannot control or predict, or about events that seem threatening or dangerous. For example, students taking an important test may feel anxious because they cannot predict the test questions or feel certain of a good grade. People often use the words fear and anxiety to describe the same thing. Fear also describes a reaction to immediate danger characterized by a strong desire to escape the situation
The Scream
Norwegian artist Edvard Munch suffered from severe anxiety for much of his life. The Scream (1893), his most famous painting, reflects his inner turmoil. Many of Munch’s works reflect themes of anxiety, loneliness, death, and grief.
Phobia, intense and persistent fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. Because of this intense and persistent fear, the phobic person often leads a constricted life. The anxiety is typically out of proportion to the real situation, and the victim is fully aware that the fear is irrational.
Phobic anxiety is distinguishable from other forms of anxiety only in that it occurs specifically in relation to a certain object or situation. This anxiety is characterized by physiological symptoms such as a rapid, pounding heartbeat, stomach disorders, nausea, diarrhea, frequent urination, choking feelings, flushing of the face, perspiration, tremulousness, and faintness. Some phobic people are able to confront their fears. More commonly, however, they avoid the situation or object that causes the fear—an avoidance that impairs the sufferer's freedom.
Psychiatrists recognize three major types of phobias. Simple phobias are fears of specific objects or situations such as animals, closed spaces, and heights. The second type, agoraphobia, is fear of open, public places and situations (such as public vehicles and crowded shopping centers) from which escape is difficult; agoraphobics tend increasingly to avoid more situations until eventually they become housebound. Social phobias, the third type, are fears of appearing stupid or shameful in social situations. The simple phobias, especially the fear of animals, may begin in childhood and persist into adulthood. Agoraphobia characteristically begins in late adolescence or early adulthood, and social phobia is also associated with adolescence.
Although agoraphobia is more often seen in treatment than the other types of phobia, it is not believed to be as common as simple phobia. Taken together, the phobias are believed to afflict 5 to 10 persons in 100. Agoraphobia and simple phobia are more commonly diagnosed in women than in men; the distribution for social phobia is not known. Agoraphobias, social phobias, and animal phobias tend to run in families.
Behavioral techniques have proved successful in treating phobias, especially simple and social phobias. One technique, systematic desensitization, involves gradually confronting the phobic person with situations or objects that are increasingly close to the feared ones. Exposure therapy, another behavioral method, has recently been shown more effective. In this technique, phobics are repeatedly exposed to the feared situation or object so that they can see that no harm befalls them; the fear gradually fades. Antianxiety drugs have also been used as palliatives. Antidepressant drugs (see Depression) have also proved successful in treating some phobias.
The physical symptoms of anxiety reflect a chronic “readiness” to deal with some future threat. These symptoms may include fidgeting, muscle tension, sleeping problems, and headaches. Higher levels of anxiety may produce such symptoms as rapid heartbeat, sweating, increased blood pressure, nausea, and dizziness.

To me, fear is knowing that you might loose the one you love forever. Knowing that you can't have them everyday. Knowing that you could wake up one day and see that they are gone. I fear to loose the ones I love.
