Require all schools to cater to the needs of students with anxiety disorders and give them alternatives to help them

Created by S.L. on January 29, 2014

Anxiety disorders in teens have increased a considerable amount in the past few years. Among these anxiety disorders are social anxiety and test anxiety. The circumstances of school make it unbearable for some students. One student with out anxiety can test, perform, and present perfectly fine but that doesn't make it okay for a student with anxiety to be forced to do the same thing. Children with physical disabilities get special treatment, why not mental disorders like this? Whether you believe it or not, anxiety will turn into a learning disability if a child is too scared to ask for help and too anxious to perform certain tasks. HELP THEM!
