It's because they haven't figured out how to trust their hearts. Also, children are more inclined to believe because they are more open to the unexplainable- like Nessie or the Tooth Fairy or the monster under the bed. Sometimes adults only want to see what they can explain, which is really sad for them.

People believe in Fairy Tales because they offer a sense of wonder, escapism, and comfort. Fairy tales provide a glimpse into a world where anything is possible and good ultimately triumphs over evil, appealing to our innate desire for magic and happy endings. Additionally, fairy tales often contain valuable life lessons and moral teachings that resonate with both children and adults.

Possible/probable reasons

  • People grow up with them, have a fond memory of reading with their parents, and so they read them to their kids, who then grow up with them and continue the process.
  • They are examples of stories that contain an element of truth or wisdom that is true to life and humanity regardless of what century you live in.
  • Fairy tales tend to change quite a bit over time, and so perhaps they are continually reinvented to serve the purpose of the authors of the day. Their original purposes or commentary may be far removed from what their purpose or commentary is now.
  • Sometimes fairy tales can explain things in a way that is easier to accept or understand. The fictional and fantastical elements could serve to simplify an issue or distance the reader from what otherwise might be difficult or disturbing subject matter.

Just a few thoughts. I would urge you to think of examples for each of the possible explanations.

people think fairy tales should be baned because usually when you tell a child about princesses and fairies the will expect to become a magic fairy princess and all when life isn't like that and they will expect to much.

people still believe in fairy tales because how do you know they're not true? Just because you haven't seen something yet doesn't mean that it's not real =]

What are the origins of fairy tales?

The history of the fairy tale is particularly difficult to trace, because only the literary forms can survive. Still, the evidence of literary works at least indicates that fairy tales have existed for thousands of years, although not perhaps recognized as a genre; the name "fairy tale" was first ascribed to them by Madame d'Aulnoy in the late 17th century. Many of today's fairy tales have evolved from centuries-old stories that have appeared, with variations, in multiple cultures around the world. Fairy tales, and works derived from fairy tales, are still written today.
