Worry - Serious Situation

Sometimes, a person might not take a situation seriously. If something bad happened and they don't think it is bad, then a popular comment is to say something like this.

"I would worry if I were you."
"Do you think this is a joke? This is pretty serious."
"This is one of your last chances. Aren't you worried at all?"

When we are worried, the word doesn't have to be used to express that we are worried. Here are a few examples of what I am talking about.

"I don't know how I'm going to pay for the medical bills."
"I have so much debt. I don't know what to do."

"I just took the exam and I don't know if I passed or not."
"I only applied for three schools. What's going to happen if I don't get into any of them?"

"I just had my interview. I don't know if I got it or not."
"I hope they come out with the results soon. I hate the waiting."

"The doctor said there are some complications with the pregnancy. I'm praying nothing bad happens."
"My mother got into a car accident. She's in critical condition. I don't know what's going to happen."

"So many people are counting on me. What if I let them down?"
