Q:

Should I be concerned about my almost 1-year-old baby being scared to walk?

My child will be one year old on the 15th of February, and she has not yet tried to start walking. She only pulls up on me when we are sitting on the bed or couch, but when I go to put her down on the floor she will not pull up to her feet she will pull up till she is on her knees and when I hold her hand to walk she is on her tip toes and try to go very fast. If I stand her up on the side of the bed she will cry like she was really scared. 
Should I have any concerns at this point?

Bill Tan, yes, your comment on crawling is a good point.. LINK 

According to experts, more kids seem to be hitting numerous motor
  (movement) development milestones later or skipping them altogether.
  The topic is increasingly becoming controversial in the medical
  community. While the conventional wisdom is that there's no harm in
  skipping the crawling stage, a growing number of experts  --
  particularly pediatric occupational therapists  -- say that crawling
  is actually a critical developmental milestone whose long-term
  benefits we're only now beginning to recognize.

I think your child is well within the normal range for walking. If you are concerned and have not discussed it with your doctor then ask. Children develop at different rates and unless your doctor is concerned,  I think it's fine. 
I was thinking about crawling and why it is important. IMO, it is as important as walking. LINK Why crawling is important 
Building the core muscles and the muscles of the arms and legs makes crossing the midline easier for children. There's even a link to Attention Deficit Disorders, when children have problems with it.
