Help your teenager to learn about anxiety
Ensure that your teenager is aware that all young people
experience some anxiety. Normal anxiety is useful, as it
helps us prepare for real danger or perform at our best.
However, anxiety can become a problem if it is severe,
long-lasting, and interferes with your teenager’s studies,
other activities, and family and social relationships. Clinical
anxiety is common in young people, affecting 1 in 25
teenagers in any 12-month period1
