Today, my son was crying because he's afraid he might get Ebola. We live in Maine, and he's 16. FML
I agree, your life sucks 37 260
You deserved it 4 928

MainePains tells us more.

Hello, OP here! Apparently, the reason he has been crying is because the high school he goes to a lot of rumors are flying around- about Ebola coming to Maine. Thanks for the advice, but I have to say- a few of you are Maineiacs.

The Maine thing is that you explain to him he's safe.

Ebola has been blown totally out of proportion, yes, its a hazard in Africa with over three thousand deaths but it won't end up being the next zombie apocalypse as is always portrayed with movies, we have unrealistic views of the world and the news goes a long way in brainwashing us.

I am currently in west Africa and have been during this whole Ebola thing....tell him to get over himself

sounds like my dad. he blew up on me when i said i wanted to go to my boyfriends bootcamp graduation and would be paying the expense myself. then he threatened i couldnt come home until the incubation period was up.
