Let's talk about feeling anxious.  It can happen to all of us. With all the school pressure, social media, and figuring out who we are, it's no surprise we get overwhelmed sometimes. Anxiety is our body's way of saying, "Hey, something's up," especially when we're facing big challenges or changes.

 

The reason why you can feel anxious is because you have to deal with a lot more than just homework. Social media keeps you probably comparing ourselves to others, and sometimes the future can seem pretty scary. It's totally normal to feel anxious for this reason.

 

Here's something you might not hear often: a little bit of anxiety isn't always a bad thing. It can make us more alert and motivate us to solve problems. But when anxiety starts messing with our daily lives, that's when we need to take a step back.

​

If you're feeling anxious, remember, you're not the only one. Many of us feel this way sometimes, trying to find our way in life. Understanding that anxiety is a common part of being a teenager is important. 

 

It's okay to feel this way, and it's okay to talk about it. 

 

It is totally fine to reach out for help if you're feeling too overwhelmed. With a little support, you can tackle much more.
