Good Ol Nick come back!

Who knows why certain things freak out certain people? I saw a show on TLC about Nostradoumus about 12 years ago when I was 30 years old and was super traumatized, and I'm not a nervous of flighty person. I had never seen a show like that, and it really scared me. Now since then I've seen countless shows on this subject on History channel, TLC, etc. and I know now that they really play up the "End of the World" angle on them for sensationalism. But back then I had no idea, and really got scared. So much so that I called my own mom, very upset about it.

Sorry, but if a 13-year old teenager is crying during a movie about a volcano, then she may have some issues she needs to deal with. There is a huge difference between being scared by a movie (ex. I am scared by slasher movies) and being traumatized (where you literally have physical and mental symptoms).
You may want to consider having her talk to a psychologist. She may have some kind of a phobia of storms or severe weather? If she is showing physical symptoms and it is affecting the way she lives, it may be more serious.

I think the worst bit is where they are at the hot springs and find the bodies of people who were pretty much boiled alive, perhaps that is what started it. Actually thinking back now, if I was younger I wouldn't have liked it either and if you're emotional then sure you're gonna get upset.

So being 13 and if she's an emotional girl then no I wouldn't be surprised that it scared her. I think that what the teacher said to her though would have made it worse.

I really don't understand how..
I'm 14 and I watched this movie 2 weeks ago
And I think its hilarious
I mean sad at some points but hilarious...
I'm REALLY surprised seeing half of my class either fell asleep from it
or laughed at it

sorry. I just don't get it.

WALTER-GET ME A JUICE BOX,BIATCH!

Wow, what a loser. This was such a stupid movie. How could you be scared?

I show this movie in my 7th grade science class and have not have a negative reaction from any of my students (I've shown it for the last three years). Some of the students do get a little upset at times, as do I when I see some movies, but not as traumatized as your daughter.

It is a fairly scientifically accurate film, and I show it after I finish my unit on volcanoes. I think the school psychologist is the one who traumatized her more than the movie. In recent years, very few people have died from volcaones because scientists usually know when they are getting ready to erupt and can send out adequate evacuation warnings. The chances of getting killed from a volcanic eruption in 2008 is slim to none.

I have students in my class who come from Ecuador and Columbia and have had first hand experiences with volcanic eruptions...they were fine with the movie. Some of them even had love ones who were injured trying to evacuate. For them, this is a real occurance, and they are glad that I showed them the movie.

In your area, I would refrain from showing your daughter Twister, because that would definately traumatize her. Maybe you should ask her what specifically caused her to be upset...it could be the grandmother dying or other people getting hurt, or the reality that some people have to go through that reality.

I hope this helps.
