Dear NewsDepth,
When I get a little bit of anxiety, nervous, or jumpy I play with my sticky-tac to keep me calm and I fiddle with the sticky-tac stretch it and stuff it's really fun when you break in new sticky-tac but if I don't have it I ask a teacher to get a drink from a water fountain.

Dear NewsDepth,
How I deal with school anxiety is that I take some deep breaths, think of the fun things I'll get to do when I get home, and if I need to, I ask for help.

Dear NewsDepth,
I deal with school anxiety by talking to my school counselor. Or I would either close my eyes and squeeze my hands and breathe in and out. AND BY THE WAY NEWS HOUND IS AWESOME SAUCE!
