All adolescents experience some degree of anxiety or worry.
After all, today's world is increasingly complicated and confronts teens with many choices each day. Combine this with pressures about school, friends, drugs, alcohol and sex, to name just a few, and you can appreciate that your teen has a lot to think about. But low levels of anxiety do not interfere with everyday life. In fact, a little bit of worry is sometimes a good thing. If teens were not concerned about a test in school for example, then they might not study.
