9/11 am I the only one or are there others like me?

Question

Around 9/11 I always get really scared that theres going to be a repeat or something. I'm 14 and I was 8 when the attacks happen. Are there other people who get really scared around 9/11? Also is it true that we got a new video from Osama Binladin and if so have they figured out if its new or not? Thanks! Sorry if I spelt his name wrong.

I want to hear what other teens think about 9/11 and if they feel the same way as me.

I dont let the fear run my life or anything like that I just really really really dont want to see so many innocent people killed....it'd be even scarier now because I'd actaully understand it, when I was 8 I was just reacting to the videos and how my family was acting.

Answer 1

i was 9 when the attack happened. i was kind of clueless but i still felt some fear. every time now when i fly if i see somebody who looks suspicious i sort of get upset because it does make me wonder "when will this happen again?" thank god it hasnt happened again so far. also binladin has sent a tape and im pretty sure it is new but who knows.

now i pray for those people and i am really ashamed of my self but this morning when i woke up i forgot about 9/11 i remembered when i went to bed but i forgot. how much of an idot am i all year around i remember but today i forgot and i dont think that i can forgive myself for that just yet. it is such a sad think that has affected our lives greatly and i really dont understand why people dont support the war. those soldiers are trying to bring justice to what happened to america and those who lost there lives.

so any way every time im afraid something is going to happen i try to pray to God that he will let us live and that this war will help the terriosts know that we can be strong enough to fight their evil. also dont live your life in fear or else that fear will consume you.


also wolfa whatever pearl harbor THEY ATTACKED US AND WHY SHOULD WE HELP THE JAPS AND GIVE THEM OIL WHEN THEY WERE BRUTALLY KILLING PEOPLE AND WERE ALLIES WITH THE NAZIS WHO WERE KILLING SO MANY JEWS ADAY THAT THEY ALMOST GOT RIDE OF THE POPULATION! ALSO WE HAVENT DONE PRACTICALLY ANYTHING TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND TERRIOST TOMAKE THEM COME ATTACK US. THEY WERE JUST BEING EVIL. AND BY SAYING TO FORGET 9/11 YOU ARE SAYING TO FORGET ALL THOSE INNOCENTS WHO HAVE DIED.

Answer 2

I am not a teen. But, yes I do have concerns on and around 911.
Other countries live in fear daily. We as Americans just don't comprehend that sort of thing...so when it happened, it hit us all very hard. We consider ourselves privledged and untouchable to the rest of the world. Truth is that other countries live in fear day & night.

Try not to let the fear control you. Let the day 911 remind you of what a good country we have and if we didn't have our good military we are for the most part safe.
Remember this attack is very rare and pray that it will never happen again. An experience like this should teach us to be thankful and also cautious...but we can't let us live in fear or the terrorists win. Don't let them win.

Hang in there hon. It has been five years and nothing has happened again.

Answer 3

Yea on sep. 11 I was watching the news through the library lounge, I wasn't supposed to be, but all I could see was burning towers. I had to re watch that news and it almost brought tears to my eyes. That day was such a tragedy. My mom thinks something might happen again, but we can't live our lives in fear because when we start doing that, the terrorist have won.

Answer 4

I know that it brings back scarry memories but you have to realise that security will be so much higher on 9/11 that terrorists would probably not have another attack on that day because people are so much more aware. Also don't be afraid... that is what terrorists want us to be so they make threats like that.

Answer 5

sorry i am not a teen any longer . i do get worried around 09/11 . i do worry that Asama will have another attack planned. i worry because i do not want their war in our country. i heard about that also i don' t know if the tape was authenticated yet or not. what i do know is thak i keep praying that our troops will keep us safe, and keep the war where it belongs. in iraq !!!

Answer 6

No I don't get scared that there's going to be a repeat. As for Osama he could still be alive but he's getting really old so he could be alive or he could be dead. But his little video was not the way to get America out of Iraq and Afghanistan. The USA seems to think it's new so I'm guessing Osama is still alive. Honestly I just ignore September 11th. It's sad that all those people died but people die every day and this isn't the first time the USA has been attacked on our soil for sticking out nose into other countries affairs. We got attacked on December 7th 1941 by the Japanese for cutting off their oil.

Answer 7

I want to believe it was a conspiracy theory. But i cant convince myself the government would do something like that. So I just have to face facts that there are people like Bin Ladin in the World.

Answer 8

I'm 13, and I'm also afraid that something's going to happen. My mom thinks that the numbers 911 equal bad luck. I mean like you dial 911 on the phone if you need help or something.
I'M SCARED!!!! IT'S TOMORROW!!!!!

Answer 9

I don't get too scared, I an sixteen, so I was ten when it happened and it didn't phase me too much.
All I can remember is being mad that the school canceled our open house.

I was a stupid kid back then.

Answer 10

i dont worry because i believe they will hit when we are unsespecting but yes we did get a video from Bin-Laden its true everyone should be worried everyone should be VERY worried personally i believe this counrty has just went to he*l since we put him in!
