Is it normal for an 11 year old girl to be afraid of horror?

Answer

Hi Lieselot,

it seems quite normal to me that “an 11 year old girl” (as you write it) is afraid of horror. Adults can also be afraid of this. I think it is important to talk about this with your parents, sisters, brothers or friends. People often enjoy watching horror as it helps them overcome their real fears in everyday life. Being scared during a movie puts you in no danger. But often it evokes less pleasant memories with what you have experienced in real life. Then it is important to talk about it with people you trust and who want to listen to you.

Kind regards,
