Friday the 13th is actually considered lucky in my family. During the depression, on Friday the 13th my great great grandfather found 20$ on the street and that alone is what made his family survive. It's pretty awesome so we always see it as a day to honor being here.

i remember when my class once celebrated on Friday the 13th, simply because it was Friday the 13th
some people weren't so cooperative though. i guess they thought we were associated with witchcraft, or probably thought we were satanists or something.
and i'm not blaming them.

I was born on October Friday 13th.. well that explains my life.

A Friday the 13th is coming this week...

And I have a test on that day. Wish me luck!

Why is every one scared of that day? Nothing happened to me or anyone I know and nothing will, its just a day with a number

Oh my gosh! My Birthday is on March 13th, and I have had my birthday on a Friday about 3 or 4 times. Those years were actually not bad... just weird and not a lot of people came to my party, but what about my GOLDEN BIRTHDAY?! ON A FRIDAY...? I checked... it is😭 One like= 1 prayer😂

also, Jesus got executed on a Friday, and at the last supper, on which Jesus and Judas had an argument that caused Judas to betray Jesus, there were 13 people.

friday the thirteen is not a unlucky day damn it is a lucky day (reverse psychology)

[yeaaa]

I was SOOO unlucky on that day! I had a HUGE fight with my friends, ended up crying and thinking I had no friends, started to get dizzy, I was sweating when I went to sleep because I was afraid Jason was coming to get me and was unlucky

Its just a superstition, its just like saying that there's a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I don't get whats so different between Friday 13th and (for example) Thursday 13th.

[masol]

I don't believe in superstitions.

Another reason is that the Knight Templar (a medival group of knights) were all arrested (and most killed) on Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th is just a myth! No more or less average injury count! No bad luck!!!

It's the luckiest day of the year for me
