Is anyone else out there afraid of needles?! I don't know how to get rid of it and it's really annoying and scary because I'm going into yr8 and I need a HPV vaccination and I know I have to have it but even so I don't know how to approach it.
I think the quiz is really good. I think you should do a quiz were you say something about yourself and your phobia and you can see if you can help us overcome our phobias. Mine is definitely needles
