Anxiety in Teens - What Should Parents Do?
Hi everyone! I have a teenager and I have noticed that he has become very anxious. He is worried about it but he can't figure out why he feels this way. He has anxiety attacks from time to time, he worries about school, friends and the future. I don't know how to help him because when I try to talk to him, he closes up and doesn't say anything.

This is really difficult and many parents face this problem. Teens often experience anxiety due to stress from school, social situations or peer pressure. The key is to keep dialogue open but not to push too hard. It is good if the teenager feels understood. It may be worth looking into apps like Liven techtimes.com, which helps with anxiety. It provides relaxation techniques and helps maintain emotional balance. This can be useful tool for teenagers to learn how to cope with their worries.
I have also noticed that teenagers are often worried these days. Maybe the problem is in the information flow that is putting pressure on them. My son became calmer when he started doing sports, and we also agreed that he would do meditation through an app. Of course, it is not always possible to avoid stress, but I think that such small steps help.
You are correct, and this can be the main cause of their higher stress levels.
This topic really hits home for me because I remember going through a rough patch as a teenager when anxiety from school pressure started to affect my sleep and focus. I had multiple assignments due and an important geography exam coming up, and it all felt too overwhelming. That’s when I decided to pay someone to do my geography exam just so I could take a break, breathe, and work on managing my stress. It wasn’t just about passing—it was about protecting my mental health.
