What is a best way to get help from teacher or students?
For A Example, having anxiety or being nervous doesn’t make you a loser and plus if your getting picked on don’t care about it just ignore it and think smarter. Plus, new people will get used to it in the school and in the future they won’t be scared or have anxiety anymore, but when you ask for help from students and teachers they will help you. You can also develop friendship in a table group by helping each other out

Approach your teacher 1 on 1. It is less intimidating to ask a question to one person than asking it front of the whole class. Talk to your teacher after class when students are leaving. Or sometimes professors in college will hold office hours. push yourself to go and introduce yourself and let the teacher know if you're confused about something or need help. It will be hard the first couple of times, but after a few times it will get easier.
If you feel scared to approach your teacher, try asking the students who sit around you in class for help. Find out if your school has a tutoring center that you can go to. Regardless, I encourage you to ask your teacher to help you out. They would be more than willing to try to help you. You can even approach a different teacher if there is one you are more comfortable with for some advice or they can point you to who you can go to for help.

Your question sound very much sounds like an answer to me.
I find it best to give people a little context on why you're asking for help. Once people understand that, they maybe more inclined to help you.
Also, offer your help in areas that you have skills in. If you're helpful to other then they're more likely to reciprocate.

Hi, Billy! Getting help from teachers and students can be an important step in managing anxiety and building a supportive network in school. Here are some effective strategies:
- Be honest about your feelings. Whether you’re talking to a teacher or a fellow student, expressing your anxiety can foster understanding and support. Use "I" statements to share your experiences, like, "I feel anxious when…"
- Join or form a support group with classmates who may be experiencing similar challenges. This can create a safe space to talk about anxiety and share coping strategies.
- Teachers often have designated times for students to ask questions or seek help. Take advantage of these office hours to discuss your concerns, whether academic or social.
- When reaching out for help, be specific about what you need. For example, instead of saying, “I’m feeling anxious,” try “Can you help me understand this topic better? It makes me anxious when I don’t get it.”
- Actively participating in group activities can help build friendships. Collaborating on projects or study groups can lighten the workload and reduce anxiety.
- Gather a few classmates to study together. This not only helps with academic performance but can also build camaraderie and lessen feelings of isolation.
- Engage with mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, that can help calm your nerves and make it easier to approach others for help.
- Focus on building connections through shared interests. Getting to know people in your classes can create a support system and make it easier to ask for help when needed.
- Participate in clubs or extracurricular activities that interest you. This is a way to meet new people and create friendships based on common passions, which can reduce anxiety about social interactions.
- Many schools have counselors who can provide additional support and resources. Don't hesitate to use these services for help with anxiety or any other concerns.
- Remind yourself that it’s okay to feel anxious. Focus on your strengths and the progress you’re making, and acknowledge that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
- Building connections and overcoming anxiety takes time. Be gentle with yourself as you navigate these experiences.
Remember, you're not alone in feeling anxious, and seeking help is a brave and important step. Over time, with practice and support, you can develop strategies to manage your anxiety and create a more positive school experience. I hope that I helped you. With love, Darya
