Chapter 1: Why Do You Experience Anxiety?

S tress and anxiety are two of the most common issues that people face today and especially in teenagers. Some are of the opinion that a little stress can be beneficial for you at times, say when you have a deadline to meet and that slight tension or stress that you are feeling will push you in the right way to get your work done in time. But that being said, when this very stress looms large over you, making you feel so uncomfortable that it renders you unable to make any decisions or to think wisely, then it is a serious problem. Such stress is seriously damaging for any person, be it of any age, and it should not be neglected. Your teenage years are crucial because they help shape up your character as this is the time when you venture out, meet new people, have new adventures and experiences, and gather new information. These are the years when you get to know yourself more, and you start to come out of your shell slowly to meet the world outside.

Needless to say, life during your teenage years will provide you with a host of opportunities, and at the same time, it will provide you with challenges. As these are the years you will be new to facing such situations without prior experience; naturally, you will feel more scared and vulnerable. Everything will seem bigger than they actually are, even your problems. There will be more than enough moments when you will feel restless, angry, irritated, frustrated, and scared. Along with experiencing all the good, new and exciting things, you will also feel those that are not so pleasant. So, it is natural for you to be under a lot of stress and anxiety. Every person can have a different reason to feel anxious.

What you need to understand at the beginning is that what you are feeling is valid. Just because someone else is not feeling it does not mean that you feel it is not justified. That is why you first need to accept what you are feeling and not disregard them at any cost. This is important as only then will you be able to deal with them responsibly and maturely. In this chapter, I will take you through some of the reasons why teenagers like yourself feel anxiety and some of the common types of teenage anxieties that people face so that it helps you understand your situation better.
