Anxiety in Teenagers (Speech)
Anxiety in Teenagers
Hello. The topic of my speech is anxiety in teenagers. Some of you might not know what anxiety is, so allow me to explain. It is a mental disorder that causes nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worrying in the people affected by it. These disorders affect how they feel and behave. Anxiety is a normal part of growing up, but for most children it’s only a phase, temporary and usually harmless. But if they have developed an anxiety disorder, they will experience fear, nervousness and shyness for most of their lives.
Anxiety disorders affect one out of every eight teenagers in the world. Most of the time, these young men and women also struggle with other disorders like depression, eating disorders and attention deficit hyperactive disorder, among others.
Along with the anxiety is also often social anxiety, a branch of the general disorder. This produces extreme fear, panic attacks, sweating and nervous tics in the victims when exposed to social events. They will most often be extremely shy and awkward looking, but that’s because they are actually absolutely terrified.
Anxiety also affects teenagers in school. It will affect them in their potential, and often grades will drop, motivation will be gone and they will skip school as often as they can. In our school, one thing that is overlooked much too often is mental disorders such as these. They are not treated properly and teens with these problems are blamed for their bad grades.
If we don’t make a kid with a broken leg run in P.E., why make a teen with social anxiety present an oral speech? I believe that we should first have proper diagnosis and treatment in the school of such disorders before we force children to do something that they are physically not able to do.
If any of you suffer from anxiety disorders of any kind, I suggest that you take the right steps to treat it. It’s not always curable, but panic disorders, nervousness and nervous ticks could diminish significantly. You
