learn the science behind every aspect of thunderstorms, like atmospheric dust holding water molecules, attracts more, forms drops of water, thunder caused by lightning shooting through the atmosphere at faster than sound speeds (hence, the delay), electrical charge of earth and sky, etc...

I know the feeling, i really dont like t-storms either due to my past. So just try to relax, go to school. I think these could help you:
1) if possible, wear headphones and listen to some music
2) think of the possibility of it being far far away.
* which if you do numb. 2, its easy to find the distance of how far the storm really is. Count how many seconds between the lighting and the actual kaboom of the thunder then mutiply the second by 2. ex: If the timing is 4 sec apart 4x2=8; which means the storm is only 8 miles away. Which by most regular storms it will calm down within the 8 miles to just be rain.

Theres nothing to be afraid in a thunderstorm. On the to school you'll be in a vehicle which is the safest place to be during a t-storm. In the school you'll be safe too. Especially if there are trees or something tall around it. But believe me... there NOTHING to be afraid of (though you do have to be cautious not to be walking outside w/an umbrella or something) anyway.. T-Storms are AWESOME!!! dont be scared :)

why are you afraid of storms and wont you have the same storm at home as at school go talk to your counsler and let them know what you are feeling and maybe they can arrange for you to be in a study hall or something where you may feel a little safer

if your parents have insurance, you may be able to get in and see a counselor. generally these types of fears subside with time, but with such an intense fear, you might want to see someone about it. talk to you mom or dad about getting in with a psychologist at a local hospital or clinic. there are techniques they can use to assist you. it may take a while, but you'll notice a difference. good luck!

Thunderstorm phobia. Talk to who ever is authorized and explain your feelings.
