Fears have long been the object of psychological research. Fear is most often defined as an emotional state that occurs in the presence or anticipation of a dangerous or harmful stimulus. Younger teenagers, because of their emotional sensitivity, experience all these fears with special force, which, superimposed on traditional children's phobias, can lead to serious violations of their emotional sphere up to neurotic disorders.
