Identity+-+Sun+Phobia

=The Sun Phobia = 

Susan is a 10 year old girl. She lives in Iowa with her parents. She likes to look outside of the window, because she has never gone outside. She has a little disease called sun phobia. As it says, she’s afraid of the sun and she thinks that the sun will burn her if she becomes exposed to it. That’s why her house is always dark. The technology has developed incredibly until now, 2008, but it couldn’t help her.

Her mom tried everything to make her go out of the house, but nothing worked. Susan yelled and cried. She made her mom crazy. She went to every hospital but they gave her only one answer. “Expose her to the sun.” But how could she do that? Susan was like a nut case. She only watched TV and played computer games.

One day, like other day, Susan was looking outside of the window. Her mother found out that Susan was looking at the kids who were going to school. So her mother asked Susan, “Do you want to go to school?”

“Yes, I want to be like normal kids, mom.”

“Then you just have to go to the outside. The sun won’t hurt you.”

“But the sun is too hot and dangerous. Mom, you shouldn’t go to the outside too. The sun will burn you!” As Susan finished her sentence, her mother sighed desperately. She would give everything to fix her daughter’s phobia, but no one could.

One night, Susan forgot to blind her windows with curtains. The next morning, Susan’s screaming filled her house. The bright and hot sunshine was coming down to her room. She screamed as loud as she could. Her parents were surprised and climbed the stairs to her room. Susan was hiding in her blanket and all the sunlight was filling her room. No wonder she screamed. Susan’s mother did the challenging thing. She pulled away Susan’s blanket and threw it. Susan screamed insanely. Everyone’s eardrums were about to explode. Susan’s mom told her daughter, “Susan, just calm down for a second. You are fine. You are exposed to Sun and you are fine."

“Am I? No, I’m burning. Arrhhhhhhh, hot, hot, hot.”

“No, believe me, you are okay.”

“Wow, I’m not burning. I’m not burning!”

After that day Susan became the bravest person in the world. She experienced that a phobia just depends on how people think. If they think it’s nothing, then it is actually nothing.
