Should I fly alone???
Well im 15, and I live in Palm Springs area in California. I am visiting my uncle in tucson Arizona, which is about six hour drive away. What has been planned is that I would be driven halfway by my mom, other half by my uncle which would take six hours out of there day because I am scared of flying. I do have mild anxiety and havent been on a flight since I was 10. So fear of it has been building since I have flown last. What I would do is fly to Phoenix and then fly from there to Tucson. Im scared I will have a panic attack, get sick, that people will be annoyed with me etc. I dont have an ipod so I can listen to music. Money isnt an issue so you can put that out of the picture. What should I do? Im in a situation where I want to fly and at the same time dont. I appreciate the help :D

Look, im 15 as well and not much more of a fan of flying than you are. I just took a vacation with my parents and flew on 10 different airplanes. The thing about flying is, its really scary when the plane bumps but you just need to know its wind the plane is flying through. The most dangerous time on an airplane is the first 15 seconds of flight and the last, things rarely go wrong in between. Another thing to think about is how many flights go out every single minute. At least 500 planes around the world are taking off right at this moment. When you haven't done things for a while you tend to make them extreme. Like bad food one night could be not so bad, but years later you remember it as repulsive. Same with flying, as you said. Relax and if you decide to fly when your airplane takes flight count to 15 and know you are safe. It really does help.
