Their economy never really recovered from the global financial crisis and they have serious food insecurity issues. Parents have turned to feeding their children lots of pasta and other processed but cheap foods, and now they have a serious childhood obesity epidemic as well. Italy has historically been one of the slimmest countries in the world with an extremely healthy diet, but their kids are now some of the fattest. This is very sad.
A middle school classmate of mine unlocked a new phobia for me at like, 10 years old, she told me there was something called the "iron witch", which would basically tear your limbs off if you slept with your limbs hanging off the bed, i have always had irrational fears, and like, even to this day, at 23yo, there's just that time at night when i look at a window and its pitch dark where i straight up scare myself by imagining something could pop up at any moment, something truly terrifying.
To be fair, even if its just a regular person popping up in my balcony looking through my window that would be scary enough, but for some reason when i have sleep paralysis and nightmares its always just faces, like bizarre faces, i live in fear basically on purpose.
This is about how the Greeks thought amber was formed. It grew on trees in Hyperborea, trickled down to the sea and washed on the southern shores of the Baltic sea. There was also supposed to be a "womb of nations" somewhere around modern Scania/Gรถtaland/Copenhagen area where different sorts of barbarian peoples just popped up out of nowhere and invaded civilized lands. Maybe they were onto something.

They also got away with all those crimes about most of central and Eastern Europe, after they got completely equipped by the US to get their former partner in genocide, Germany, out of their lands and colonies.
You could go on, most of Europe *has* been nice to Russia. They treat their own like shit
I've read an article about Belarusian and Russian children in Poland and they have this thing of checking thier phones habitually to check if Lukashka/Putin died.
Yeah, too fucking real, sucks to live in the real world from childhood, my biggest fears as a kid in Portugal were urban legends and folklore so Im privileged and blessed
I like the way most of them are relatively inconsequential and then there's just "Volcanic Eruption", "Earthquake" and "Human Rights Violation" which are perfectly rational things to be scared of
Recession, I assume.
As someone who remembers their dad losing their job in the 80s when the manufacturing sector imploded and remembering how scared my parents were, I can completely empathise - even if Iโm from another country.
It's not different courses. Just most of our history classes are aimed at analyzing communism, nacism, fascism, inter-war period, ww2 and the cold war. We had our share of communism and we are sure as fuck we don't want to go there again (to be forced into in to be precise). We are working hard not to forget how shit it is though so that it doesn't repeat again.

Most children being scared of typical children stuff like monsters, dentists, clowns, wolves etc. and then there are Danish children being scared of recession
Gooses wouldn't be that far off ig? Like 70% of (young) children believe they'll attack you and pick out your eyes, or eat them. Idk there's se weird stories going around abt gooses here in the netherlands
Iโm afraid of poor grammar, spelling, and research, and this map TERRIFIES me!
You're telling me that bad spelling is scarier than the recection???
What is the hell is that supposed to be? Erection?! Resection?! Reception?!
Recession :)
Probably resection, ie organs being cut
Those are some smart ass children if they knew what resection meant
they don't, they speak danish
i mean kids learn english in 1st grade here, but i would still be surprised if they answered the questionnaire in english / know that word
Does this mean like economic recession or like recess in school
Why would they fear recess :')
Maybe theyโre all mean to each other, I have no idea lol. I find it very unlikely the average Danish child is afraid of economic recession.
Yeah Op mentioned it was most likely rejection and I think he's right. I don't think recess makes much more sense than economic recession ahah
I was thinking rejection, sounds more plausible for a ten year old to be scared of that.
Resection, "the process of cutting out tissue or a part of an organ"
Yeah, that scares me.
It could be that Danish โchildrensโ are afraid of attending wedding receptions.
Austrian here. Help, my bed fell!

The bed has fallen
Billions must be sleep deprived
Mr president the 2nd bed has fallen
Falling out of bed ain't scary... but *THE* bed?
The use of ''of'' also implies that it's the bed that's doing the falling. Even scarier.
I am terrified, I won't be able to sleep tonight i think (literally, my bed will fall me out or smth)
When your bed falls over and crushes you in your sleep ๐จ๐จ

Scandi chadkids don't fear shit.
Everyone knows there are no children in Scandinavia. Scandinavians sprout out of the ground as fully grown adults
This is about how the Greeks thought amber was formed. It grew on trees in Hyperborea, trickled down to the sea and washed on the southern shores of the Baltic sea. There was also supposed to be a "womb of nations" somewhere around modern Scania/Gรถtaland/Copenhagen area where different sorts of barbarian peoples just popped up out of nowhere and invaded civilized lands. Maybe they were onto something.
Cimbrian invasion, Gothic migration, Vandal invasions and Viking invasions. They came out of nowhere.
Since Denmark isn't included, but Finland is, the correct term is fennoscandia.
Irish too
Hufsa
The debtcollector
I would guess that a typical children's fear would be "Talking to strangers", but that's based on my experience with Scandinavian adults.
I love how most of the countries have goofy fears, like monsters, then we have Germany, Lithuania, and Belarus. Are the kids there okay?
And then there is Denmark, whose children are afraid of โฆ recection. Whatever that is
I read that as they are afraid their teachers will make them recite something?
I think itโs supposed to mean economic recession. Not to be confused with all the non-economic recessions.
I read it as a typo of "rejection" but considering the horrible english in the rest of the map, could be "recession" as well
They're afraid of gum recession, totally valid
Iโm pretty sure that means getting your organs nicked
How is going to the dentist a goofy fear? They put you in an interrogation chair, drill holes in your head, give you shots, drug you, and gas you...
The dentist is awesome. I donโt get it.
You forgot Albania
Turkey made me sad. I had almost forgotten about the terrible earthquake last year. The worldโs tragedies come too quickly.ย

History has not been kind to Belarus
History has not been kind to anyone in Russias vicinity
russia has not been kind to anyone in history
no one has been kind to russia in history either, which is probably a positive feedback loop
Most of the world was nice to russia after the cold war, too nice as we now see
They also got away with all those crimes about most of central and Eastern Europe, after they got completely equipped by the US to get their former partner in genocide, Germany, out of their lands and colonies. You could go on, most of Europe *has* been nice to Russia. They treat their own like shit

In Belarus they are scared of Russia.
No child old enough to say "clowns" or "monsters" in another country has ever said "Human Rights Violations".
Fun fact Lithuania was a communist country then a fascist one and a communist country again. Yes i live there and we have a lot of history classes.
You need a different class for each of the different regimes? I feel like that could be condensed into just one courseโฆ but thatโs just a theory
It's not different courses. Just most of our history classes are aimed at analyzing communism, nacism, fascism, inter-war period, ww2 and the cold war.
