Is your teen just shy or do they have social anxiety disorder?
A shy or introverted teen might feel apprehensive in social situations but will be able to push through and make friends, take part in group projects and give school presentations as needed. A kid with social anxiety disorder, on the other hand, will start avoiding settings that spike anxiety, such as parties, tryouts for sport teams, social activities with friends and even classes at school.
Keep in mind, too, that early to mid-adolescence is a time when youth become aware of social status and where they fit in with that junior high or high school hierarchy. “This is a time when there can be a spike in social anxiety disorder,” says Duff.Most teens with social anxiety tend to keep it under wraps. They become good at “holding it together,” so parents have to be detectives if they think their child is struggling, say experts.
