As, we fall deeper into the novel Holden’s angst feelings continue to grow.

This project is an attempt to shine a light on an ever-growing epidemic, teen anxiety. I chose to do this by photographing teenagers who have or continue to suffer from the various symptoms of teen anxiety, including mental disorders, eating disorders, low self-esteem, anger, and depression. As a psychology major

Fear and angst can often pursue us all from time to time. The worry over a big meeting that could make or break your career, or the fear of falling off the top of a cliff, are both rational and healthy fears.

While there are seven to eight different forms of anxiety disorders, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), which is an anxiety disorder in which one has constant, overwhelming

That is no trivial task. Not only must we deal with our developing ability for self-identification and awareness, but we have to do it juiced up on every hormone our bodies are capable of creating, twisted into one gigantic angst cocktail. Teen angst is an unoriginal and sometimes laughable concept, yet as much as I'd like to dismiss it as such, the shoe ironically fits quite snugly. With this in mind, I believe having a perspective on life and privileges is something that is one of

The pieces I chose to analyse were the film ‘Over the Garden Wall’, directed by Nate Cash and ‘More than just the Disease’, written by Bernard MacLaverty. These two pieces explore the topic of Teen Angst in varying ways. Cash and MacLaverty both establish their core theme as teenage anxiety throughout their texts and their protagonist’s actions.

I’ve always had a rush of angst surge through my veins when thinking about my future, because most of my family come from a long line of high school and college dropouts. This subsequently led to the urging of my family to get a life career around my middle school year. I’ve never understood the appeal of a family and kids, not in any cynical way, I’d just rather experience the world more before having children. What I’ve always wanted to do is travel the Earth. It’s a simple dream, but for me it’s

All over the world, the sounds of screaming, fighting, and crying fill the houses of teens as they become scarred by their parents. A substantial quantity of reasons as to how parents largely affect adolescents appears in society today. A teenager spends all day at school, work, or with their friends, but eventually they come home. A teenager’s beliefs and actions largely boils down to one thing—their parents.
