I get really self conscious and anxious. </P> <P>Any tips on how to help??</P> Wed, 14 Nov 2018 14:37:04 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/dealing-with-everyday-life-as-a-teen/m-p/388253#M19894 Evie_1110 2018-11-14T14:37:04Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/dealing-with-everyday-life-as-a-teen/m-p/388254#M19895 <P>Hi Evie and warm welcome to our community forums</P> <P>So pleased you've found your way here.
