Sweetie its a normal thing in life. ppl have this fear of heights and alot of them dont get over it. if anything dont go into high buildings or on high rides. some ppl get over the fear on their own and some dont. its nothing to be embarrased about or anything its part of life. good luck.

Well you have good friends who don't care about something silly like that and that's what matters right? Who cares what anyone else says. They don't know you. Be proud of who you are! Personally I don't see what there is to make fun of. If I saw someone who was scared of heights I wouldn't laugh. Kids can be cruel sometimes but as you get older it'll stop.
I have like really bad clostraphobia. And once during summer camp we actually had to go camping in the woods and sleep in tents. (imagine that lol) So there were two other people in the tent with me and we closed up the whole thing to go to sleep. Well I woke up at like 2 am, realized I was in this tiny little tent and started FREAKING OUT. Like really bad. Not just shaking. I was like screaming and crying and trying to claw my way out of the tent b/c I was in too much of a panic to be able to find the zipper. I couldn't even control myself. Well, one of my tent mates woke up and opened the tent for me and I like threw myself on the ground and was like hyperventilating for a few minutes. It was pretty embarrassing and they made fun of me for a while but it was all in good humor cause we were all friends. They were kinda mad in the morning tho when they woke up and they had like 30 bug bites all over them cause I insisted on sleeping with the tent open. lol It's hilarious tho, when I look back on it.

Its normal for people to have fears. Someday you might even get over it and conquer that fear. If people make fun of you for it just ignore them and keep in mind that they might even have a worse fear (not trying to say yours is bad).
I think to get over the problem is to try and do it. Go up on monkey bars or something at a park or look off from a balcony. Go up on any high surface you can get up on any time you can (don't hurt yourself though) and be confident that nothing will happen.

Its nothing wrong with having a fear of something. Atleast you're friends are there with you and are willing to help you. Those other people are stupid and they need to understand that you're scared and well a lot of people have fears of things its just normal. Dont worry im scared of the dark and bugs and ill yell if a bug gets on me..lol i dont care and you shouldnt either! ( : Hope things work out for you though!

That's nothing to be embarrassed about!! Lots of people are afraid of heights. ME, for one! I'm 42 years old and I can't even watch one of my son's cartoons if it shows a tall building. So it's okay, no big deal! If anyone makes fun of you about this, it's only because they don't want you to know they're afraid too!

Hi. I know it's awful to be afraid of heights. Just know that a lot of people have that fear and you just breathe to try to relax. You know you'll get out of the building eventually. You'll be fine. Don't let people hurt your feelings if they make fun of you. It's just one of those challenges in your life that you need to work through. Good luck. Just breathe.

dont let the fear control you. take little steps. for example go upstairs in your/your friends house and look down. you'll see its not that bad. Than, next go to like a 3 story building, like nordstroms or macys in the mall and look down. Once again its not that bad. Than go to a fourth floor, like a department store in NY, and look out the window, you'll see its not that bad. Keep increasing until you make it.

It's not embarrassing to be scared of heights... I conquer my fear of heights a little bit by climbing a rock wall... When my college had a rock wall where we could climb it, I was challenge by one friend to go through with it... I did and it was awesome and repelling down was awesome too...
I'm still scared of heights but not like I was before....

lots of people are afraid of heights and anyone of your friends who doesnt understand that you cant help it is not a true friend at all. i dont know that its something that you can just get over, but ask your parents for help, besides theres plenty of fun things to do that dont involve heights!
