Child and Teen Social Anxiety Disorder

Children and teens with Social Anxiety Disorder have an excessive fear of social and/or performance situations. They are overly concerned that they may do something embarrassing or humiliating, or others will think badly of them. These children constantly feel "on stage," which can lead to a great deal of self-consciousness.

- Social anxiety disorder usually begins in adolescence.
- It can develop suddenly after a stressful or humiliating experience or slowly over time.
- An equal number of girls and boys experience social anxiety.
- Some of the problems associated with social anxiety disorder include poor school performance, low confidence in social situations, trouble developing and maintaining friendships, and depression.

Um..what are you saying? I'm a Christian and I believe in God, but I do NOT think lack of faith is whats causing this stuff!

Can relate myself to pretty much everything here

@FantastyckplastycK your mother probably grew up with "children are seen and not heard." so she can only do her best. can you go to a counseler with her and improve your relations with her and then you both might be better in the future.

I had this all along and I had no clue that it was actually a disorder. I need more advice though

i think it's a genetically pre-disposed condition that is often seen somewhere in the family. it can also result in or be caused by general depression.

To everyone on these comments: It's not lack of religous faith but a lack of faith in ourselves that is the cause of our problems ( genetics and traumatic events too)
