How Was Your World Supposed To End?

For as long as I can remember, the world has been on the verge of ruin.  By the time I finished high school, I'd heard we were all supposed to die in the next twenty years or so due to nuclear war, nuclear waste, nuclear power plant failure, global warming, ozone depletion, energy collapse, chemical pollution, AIDS, overpopulation, food shortages, water scarcity, and/or the shifting of the poles.

I mentioned this to a friend recently and her deadpanned response was, "You always were on the strange side of different, weren't you?"

Hmm....  Maybe. :)

But I am curious now.  Was I an outlier for considering global collapse all through my teen years?  If not, what possible fates did others consider? 

When you think about it, someone, somewhere will get the prediction right.  Law of averages and all that.
