I hate this.

A few months ago, I went to one of those places with swimming pools where people go specifically to use the pools. Well, it was a campground, and I only went because my family was going. Anyway, I hate the sea, the beach, and swimming pools because I can't swim and I'm scared. I was walking toward the table where my family was sitting eating and stuffing when my cousin pushed me into the pool. Like I said, I can't swim, and I started trying to get out, but it was deep. My cousin was laughing with another cousin until one of them grabbed me. I held onto the edge of the pool and got out. I saw out of the corner of my eye that the lifeguard was worried. I didn't go near the pool the rest of the day because I was embarrassed, and I didn't feel the need to. People were looking at me and occasionally pointing because everyone had noticed. From that moment on I occasionally think about it and feel nauseous, almost to the point of almost vomiting. I am much more afraid of water than before... I don't know what to do, it makes me very sad and maybe I think "I just need to learn to swim" but I don't want to know anything about water. I have always wanted to die but at that moment I was so afraid.

So sorry that happened to you.
But, you should learn to swim.
That will help you overcome your fear.

Well you do know that all you have to do in the 3 foot end is stand up unless you're 2 foot tall

@lissah Can you even read? I'm not going because I'm afraid of the water, and besides, when I was in the pool it was basically because my cousin pushed me, not because I wanted to. But anyway, thanks, I guess.
