When someone scares you, your brain sends a quick message to your body: run or fight. Sometimes this message is so fast that your body doesn’t have time to think, it just screams! Think of screaming like a loud alarm clock that tells everyone around you that something scary has happened. This helps protect you and might even scare the thing that scared you away.
Examples
- When a loud bang wakes you up in the middle of the night, your brain says, 'Get out of bed!' so you scream.
- Your little brother jumps behind you while you're eating, you automatically yell, 'Ahhh!'.
- You see a big dog running toward you on the street and let out a loud shriek.
