Common signs of anxiety for students may include excessive worry about grades, difficulty sleeping before tests, physical symptoms like headaches, or avoidance of school events. In North York, diverse student populations may also experience added pressures such as acculturation stress or language barriers. Early recognition and open conversations with trusted adults or school counselors are key steps to breaking the stigma and seeking support.
