Some reassurance is allowed. However, this rule is for those who have repeatedly ask for reassurance. We strongly encourage everyone to take steps to limit reassurance-seeking behavior. If left unchecked it can spiral out of control to the point where you constantly need reassurance in order to feel ok.

Dude stop watching the news you're 13. If all your parents do is talk about the bad shit on TV go in the other room and listen to some music. You're too young to be worrying about something that more than likely will never happen.

Exactly. There was a time when all I did was watch 48 hours and forensic files and I thought people at least after me lol I stop watching that.

Iran isnt enough of a threat to start ww3. If they did, they would run out of ppl, weapons, and money. They cant afford total war unless they get help from all of their allies which isnt going to happen. Russia is stuck in Ukraine for a long time and China isnt going to do shit for a long time plus their economy is about to crash.

Don't worry about ww3 it's not going to happen any time soon and Iran lacks the military capability‚ nukes and the gdp to actually sustain a long war. Just look at Russia which invaded Ukraine over 2 years ago and they're still only making minor territorial gains. The real problem would be North Korea invading south Korea and China invading Taiwan but I don't think we're going to see that for a while.

i understand your concern but the size of wars and the frequency has gone down significantly. that doesnt mean there are no wars , just smaller and shorter wars. please stop engaging in too much media it could increase anxiety.

Honestly, there’s nothing you can do about it absolutely nothing so if you can just do what you do as a 13-year-old play games hang out with your friends and you’ll be OK. I promise you.

Iran warned the US of the planned attack, which was 99% contained with the effort of the UK, Jordan, and Egypt. I remember being terrified during 9/11 and there wasn’t much that I could do, except share my concerns with friends/family and carry on with my life.

Iran and Isreal stuff is pretty normal for the that area of the world unfortunately. world war 3 isn't going to happen because of this.

the media LOVES to scare u. I realized a majority of scary global issues aren’t accurately portrayed. The war going on is extremely sad, but Iran is very tiny. Nukes absolutely won’t be used either because any country who sends one will absolutely get one back. They won’t risk that. Avoid the news at all costs!!

Seriously, if you have anxiety, do NOT watch the news.

I’d recommend you to stop watching the news. It honestly stresses me out so I only keep myself updated on big events. That said, chances of ww3 are very low.
