How can I stop...

[Mickword]

Hey Guys! I was wondering how I can stop my mum from getting my school to give me a needle, I have a small phobia of needles, and I really am scared of them. how can I stop her from giving the school this note thingy?

If you and your mum turn around and outright refuse, the school cannot force you to have it. However I would highly recommend getting the jab - whatever it is for, because they are only given to you for your protection. Overcoming a small phobia and a bit of pain is the better thing to do to stop yourself developing something horrible in the future.

I agree with this. Depending on what the jab is for, you should most definately have it. For your own protection. But if it REALLY bothers you just tell your mum you really don't want it done, and see what she says. Or at the least, try and over come your fear. It's not always as difficult as it may seem hun.

Garion and Meree are right, you should at least try to overcome your fear, the jab isn't that long and it only feels like a little jab (the word I originally used, *****, was filtered !) which isn't all that painful, also if you get it in your writing arm, you can claim you've got a dead arm and try to get out of writing, thats what I did . But yeah, the jabs are only there for your protection and its best you get them as soon as you can. But in the end, like Garion said, the school can't force you into getting them, if you tell your mum and she's fine with it, she can contact the school and refuse it.

[clarissa !!]

im petrified of needles even the thought of them makes me cringe, but its really worth getting it done. its never as bad as you think its gonna be.

[Immenseman]

it's worth braving it than dying

[JACKTARD]

im scared of needles but i hate looking silly so i jsut take it

suppose you're more scared than me haha.

Its a pinch for a second, it really is nothing. I see you have a phobia but like its been repeated above, flaunting a little jab or running the risk of getting seriously ill? Which is highly possible without the jab.

I don't want to tell you how to avoid it because i'd feel better that i've encouraged you to take it than avoid it and get a serious problem.

honestly none of them hurt, just go in, sit down, don't even look at it and you will laugh afterwards.

[CHA!NGANG]

Seriously they don't hurt. I'll be honest here and however sad this is going to sound it helped me I was afraid of needles, watched James Bond ageeeeeeees ago and saw him get injected and it didn't hurt him, and by ages I mean years ago, and it for some reason got me over the fear. Now I don't mind needles.

Same goes for hights. I had a fear, then started watching WWE ages ago and saw Jeff Hardy on Ladders and stuff and that got me over my fear of hights. I don't know why that works for me but it does for some reason.

Anyway, they really don't hurt. I'm going to India for 3 weeks at Christmas and I have to get my injections for that, all 3/4 of them but I don't mind anymore really, whilst before I'd be peeing myself.

So... Watch James Bond, specifically Casino Royal and FF to about 30 mins in !
