7 Years Of Bad Luck If You Break A Mirror 7 Years Of Bad Luck If You Break A Mirror

Some people are superstitious and believe in things like breaking a mirror will give you 7 years of bad luck ! Also that Friday the 13th is bad luck, if a black cat crosses your path you will have bad luck, stepping on a spider will make it rain and -walking under a ladder will give you bad luck… we think that most of these aren’t true. Here are some facts…

1. Lizzie – I have broken a mirror before and almost no bad things have happened to me.

2. Solana -  I got my report card on Friday the 13th and got two A’s !

3. Lizzie – I have a black cat. She has crossed my path thousands of times!

4. Lizzie – I hate spiders so I have squished them a lot! It has NEVER rained when I have done it.

5. Solana – Nothing happened when I walked under a ladder.

Do you have any superstitons? What do you have to prove that one is fake… or true… We would like to know.

    Well, when I was little, I would never step on a crack. Maybe you have heard the expression “Step on a crack and break your mother’s back”? I was terrified of this idea and would go out of my way to avoid cracks in the pavement and even tiled floors! This meant a lot of stretching my legs out as I walked and I probably looked very goofy.
    My mum is 80 years old and has never broken her back. She did break her leg, though…maybe it was my fault?

    Hi this is Lizzie and Solana. We have both stepped on cracks and nothing has happened to us or our moms. Solana: My mom has broke her tail bone, but never her back!
    Lizzie: My Mom hasn’t broken any bones and I have stepped on lots of cracks.
    We don’t think it was your fault. How long did you not step on cracks for?

    I always walk under laders, walk on cracks and pass black cats and I never get bad luck.

    We know what you mean! We don’t belive in supersticious myths. Having done all of these things it is good to know nothing will happen.

    I think that everything that everyone says are just rumors. So I think that everything is just fake.

    I don’t believe in the superstition of Friday the 13th. Last year was my brother’s birthday on Friday the 13th and nothing happened to him.
