My story is similar to most of those worried about 2012. I don't remeber how it started bugging me really. I've never been one to believe history, netgo, or the discovery channel. I find them fake and they twist words a lot. I remember first hearing about 2012 when the movie was going to be released naturally I knew none of it could happen I myself love science. I never thought much about 2012 and the rumors until one day while hanging out with my boyfriend and his soccer team before a game they started talking about 2012 and how there was signs everywhere. Naturally I told these kids they were nuts but they ripped me apart (they all are"bible thumpers" shall I say and I am Agnostic). So it began I was reasearching 2012 constantly and trying to find ways to show people why they can't believe hollywood. Unfortunatley I stumbled across too many doomsayer websites and began to fall for the rumor. I was sick for days and I still can't fully put my mind at ease. I was so bad I went around asking almost everyone at school if they believed it (No one did but one). Anyhow I drive my friends crazy with it I'm almost always talking about it ,and even though I know it won't happen my anxiety (I've struggled with it all my life) keeps acting up when I hear 2012. Of course I got onto actual scientifcally websites such as nasa.gov and such I discovered that I was just worrying over nothing. My dad who has a degree in geology told me each generation has there "Doomsday" and his was y2k. When he told me this i calmed down some ,but still I couldn't put my mind at ease. Then I found this website and I couldn't tell you how much it has helped me understand where this whole thing came from. Even the kids that were ripping me apart say it's just a hoax. You guys are doing a great job I find this site to be very logical, and you don't have any ads! I found that any site that says 2012 is doomsday sells you things I've even seen one that sells tea shirts! It's just sick what people will do for a couple bucks. Now I find that with 2012 coming closer more and more people are starting to see it's just a hoax. Only people I know are conspiracy theroist who believe that dumb show by Jessie Ventura (My science teacher laughs at this show). Anyway my point here is keep up the great work you guys helped me get my life back. There are times I slip back into a depression when I think about 2012 ,but when I step back I realize that if it was really true you guys wouldn't exist and Nasa would be trying to prevent it. I never been one to belive in prophecies it's easy to put prophecies with events after they happen. Anyways thank you guys for all your work and i'll be checking back often too see what eles you guys debunk. (I'm only 15 by the way)
