Anxiety is something a lot of people have a problem with but just remember someone else is out there having the same problem so it's not just you. but also having someone there for you helps, i know a lot of people have support animals maybe if you could even just go to a friends house and chill with there pet or even watching videos like animals in live action, those videos are so cool. if none of these things are working for you honestly talking to a friend or teacher even your parents/guardian would really be nice to talk with. sometimes even writing it down on a piece of paper and doing what you need with it could help a lot, getting it out could help a lot.

School

School can be very stressful here is some advice to hopefully help you if you ever have any questions or concerns don't be afraid to ask us or a trusted adult.

If you have trouble keeping up with work we recommended talking to a teacher of that topic getting help from them so that they can explain everything to you. even asking for time to have study hall in class or even if your teacher could plan a study hall day in there schedule. maybe if you could even find room to have lunch study hall do you know what that is? a lunch study hall is where you skip your lunch and ask to have time to work, your not in trouble! but if you ask im sure they we love to let that happen. and if you're afraid you'll miss something at lunch, but in my opinion i feel like having better grades and not having so much work to do latter is better than missing someone cursing or something at work. we would rather you be happy and free with no work to do total and only that 1-2 pages of homework you have to do later tonight. so i'd recommend asking and clarifying with your teachers and parents/guardian that way you could get the help and get it done and over with. and staying out of trouble! c´mo guys your in jr. high your 6th 7th and half of 8th you guys should know now that we cant be fighting and cursing, if a teacher asks for your phone, just give it to that teacher the last thing we and YOU need is to have to keep repeating the words ¨put your phone away"and ¨hey, lemmy see your phone¨. just keep it put away. and i promise staying out of trouble will make your school years aton better so that way you have a really nice relationship with not just kids your grade and age but teachers and staff, its nice to be able to walk up to a teacher and be like ¨hey¨ without feeling like oh i shouldn't i think this teacher has had enough of me.

and remember with the right amount effort and the right amount of grit you can do it, and focus on growth. we absolutely refuse to let you fail.
