Going to the beach.! pretty scared..please help?
alright sooo, im 15 about 5 years ago i went to the ocean for the first time and i got tossed around alot in the waves and got tumbled, after that i was really scared of the ocean anf waves and kind of try to avoid going in the water. tomorrow im going to the beach with my boyfriend and another couple and all of them love the water and love the waves.. i dont want to be the only one out of the water, but i dont want to embarass myself in the water if i get scared. my boyfriend knows of this fear but this is the first time im meeting the other couple i dont want to make things awkward and ruin the day 
please help idk what to do.!
If you have a hard time in the waves, it’s not a good idea to go in the water. Would you rather risk being drowned or have a somewhat awkward situation?
If you do decide to go out, DON’T PANIC! If a big wave is coming, go out further so it won’t crash on you. If it starts crashing early, GO UNDER IT as far as you can!
Another thing you could do is boogie-board! You don’t need to go that far out to ride a wave. That way you’ll have an excuse to stay near shore.
Good luck & HAVE FUN!
