It’s school time again and whether you are young in practice or young at heart, you may find yourself in situations which increase stress and put pressure on those of us who suffer from anxiety.

There is a difference between being anxious and having an anxiety disorder. It is completely normal to react to stress with nervous or apprehensive feelings. Anxiety disorders are more extreme and can manifest in a variety of ways. There are physical signs, like rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, dizziness, sweating, upset stomach, etc., which can culminate into panic or anxiety attacks. Mental or emotional indications include increased irritability, fearing the worst outcome in most situations, feelings of dread, and other such thoughts.

I will address some of the preliminary-level stressors in school and university that could affect those who struggle with general anxiety, but I hope my advice is applicable to other varieties of anxiety as well.

1. Group Projects

We’ve all experienced them and most of us hate them: the dreaded group project. In theory, everything should be fine. Work gets divided, everyone does their share, all is well— except that’s never how it works. More often than not, someone doesn’t do their work.

Cristian Fernandez is only 12 years old. And if Florida prosecutor Angela Corey has her way, he’ll never leave jail again.

Cristian hasn’t had an easy life. He’s the same age now as his mother was when he was born. He’s a survivor of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. In 2010, Cristian watched his stepfather commit suicide to avoid being charged with abusing Cristian.

Last January, Cristian was wrestling with his 2-year-old brother, David, and accidentally broke David’s leg. Despite this, their mother left Cristian with his brother again in March. While the two boys were alone, Cristian allegedly pushed his brother against a bookcase, and David sustained a head injury. After their mother returned home, she waited six hours before taking David to the hospital. David eventually died.

Now Cristian is being charged with first degree murder — as an adult. He’s the youngest person in the history of his Florida county to receive this charge, and his next hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
