ABSTRACT
This chapter will open with a vignette with “Anxious Annie” regarding how she feels when she has anxiety. The quote will reference the topic of the chapter. A great deal of research exists that shows the growing issue of anxiety in students. Current research will be shared as a means for examining the ways in which anxiety negatively impacts a student’s social and emotional well-being. Numerous emotional difficulties may arise due to student anxiety; these can prevent a student from developing and maintaining relationships with others. If not dealt with, anxiety may also lead to more serious issues such as substance abuse. Additionally, health issues may emanate from prolonged untreated anxiety.
