In fact, a bunch of people I know have weird phobias.

1. A friend of mine has a fear of Chalk. Just Chalk, touching, looking at it....he starts freaking out and gets increadibly moody for the rest of the day.

2. Two of my friends are deathly afraid of balloons. I was nearly stabbed for accidently popping one! (I'm kidding)

3. A boy in my class is terrified of peguins.....so we don't get to watch Happy Feet

Sorry I was too lazy to look up the proper names for these phobias

I take it you mean Penguins? Hence Happy Feet...Yes?
That's an impressive set of phobias there. Fortunately all 3 things can be avoided to some degree unless by a tragic coincidence No.3's parents were Antarctic explorers or something.
Is there any treatment available for these phobias? I'd hate to go through my life without ballooons and penguins. I'm pretty ambivalent about chalk to be honest.
