Be afraid, be very afraid. I went to the coast this summer and wouldn't go in past my knees (and I hurried back, too).....

The only sharks we get around here are the human kind, and we have plenty of them to avoid.

well to overcome a fear you need to keep subjecting your self to it.

Look at pictures.

Learn about them about their life cycles in books.

Then watch them on a tv documentary.

Then go to see them in a sea life centre, speak to the keepers.

Sharks are very frightened of humans and will only attack you if they think you are a seal. They are endangered and are being killed off at an alarming rate, unfortunately films like Jaws do not help with that myth.

remember IT IS EXTREMELY RARE to get bitten by a shark or for a human to be in contact with them unless you live in Australia.

I have such fear of a certain creature that I cannot look at it in books or on the TV. It doesn’t really interfere with my life. However, I wish I didn’t the phobia. It keeps me from taking walks in the forest.

I don’t know anyone who has this creature for a pet but I have had neighbors who keep them ... or one.

I’ve lived by the ocean most of my life. I wade in the water I’ve never come across a shark.

Sharks are nowhere near as dangerous as women.

SHARKS WILL BE THE END OF US!

Just kidding!

Sharks are just a group of fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii), and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus. Under this broader definition, the earliest known sharks date from even more than 420 million years ago. Since that time, sharks have diversified into over 470 species. They range in size from the small dwarf  lantern shark (Etmopterus perryi), a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres (6.7 in) in length, to the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), the largest fish in the world, which reaches approximately 12 metres (39 ft). Despite its size, the whale shark feeds only on plankton, squid, and small fish by filter feeding. Sharks are found in all seas and are common down to depths of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). They generally do not live in freshwater although there are a few known exceptions, such as the bull shark and the river shark, which can survive in both seawater and freshwater.
