14.

“When I was about 9 years old, we had two robberies on my street. We lived in a pretty good neighborhood, and there were many valuable things inside the homes. I was home alone one day, when someone kept knocking on the lower-level windows and doors. I saw a man with some sort of mask through the window. He tried getting in a few extra ways, but he accidentally set off the alarm, which silently called the police who came quickly.”

“I was traumatized for quite a while, and my parents had me go to therapy until I was 14. To this day, I’m still very cautious. I have my own children, and no matter their age, I’m very careful when they’re left alone.” —peach79294822
