12．Have you ever been afraid？Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster？Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test，or your palms sweat when it's your turn to give your report in front of the class．Perhaps you get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully（仗势欺人者） who chooses you．
We all have fears sometimes．That's true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be．Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn．And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard．Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet．Some people even enjoy being a little scared．That's why they like to watch scary movies．
Usually，our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear．However，sometimes this happens when there doesn't seem to be anything to be frightened about．When you feel scared but there doesn't seem to be a clear reason，that's called anxiety．For some kids，the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time．For others，it might appear only at certain times，like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere．For some people，this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do．
Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do．Your parents can take you to a doctor，who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious．But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself．
