Fight Flight Freeze – Anxiety Explained For Teens

Sometimes it feels like our brains always jump to the negative and it can be really frustrating! Spend some time learning about what automatic thoughts are and how we can try to challenge them.

# data[].attributes.body
When our brains have a thought that result in us feeling anxious, our actions can be to "fight, flight, or freeze." In school, that may mean that we ask to get picked up, don't come in that day, or end up in the nurse or counselor's office. Take a look at these examples of how our thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes when we study or do homework, it is hard to focus for long periods of time. You may find yourself getting distracted or feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work. Using a Pomodoro timer can help you to set goals for yourself to work for a certain amount of time on only the thing that you intend to work on (for example if you tell yourself you are going to work on an English assignment, you will only work on the English assignment for that time), and then allow yourself to take a break. Then repeat!

Bug fixes and performance improvements

Adore the App!!!

I absolutely and positively endorse this app for anyone, who has to study for a difficult Exam. I'm currently studying for CFP exam. It's so complex and hard that I needed an App and specifically Pomodoro Technique oriented App. Wow! I just found it. It's Fantastic! It's beyond Fantastic! I can study for 25 min, then take a break with the App... then get back to it... I am not getting overwhelmed like before. I enjoy all the sounds that the App comes with. I love all the nature sounds. I paid a little extra for Premium version, but I think it's the Best Investment I made in the Apple App Store the entire time I had the Apple Products, which is close to 16 years now!!! Thank you so much you guys!!! Where was this app before? I am so relieved I found it!!! I highly recommend. It took a lot of my stress and anxiety, due to the Exam Preparation. I love it!!!❤️🤗🙏👍👌

Pretty good so far

I've been using this app for about a week. It's very easy to use, and helps me be more productive. Would definitely recommend buying premium. It's only five dollars and you only pay once. Not an annoying subscription that you have to pay every month. Also, with the premium comes lots of customization options and the rest of the sounds that play during the timer.

However. A few improvements could definitely be made here. It would be nice to be able to use things already on my phone for the customization, such as backdrops for the timer and the alarm sound (because i like piano but that's not an option).

But overall, great app.

best study app i've ever used (college student)

I started doing this technique a while ago but didn't start using the app until recently- up until then i was just using my phone. But this experience is seamless every time and the stats page is really helpful. It, unlike other pomodoro apps, is perfectly effective without the premium version, and honestly I only bought the premium version (priced VERY reasonably, by the way) just so I could support the developer because I love this app so much. highly recommend for anyone who needs help focusing and staying oriented with a goal!!!!

Actively studying involves doing something more than re-reading your text book or notes and highlighting. Creating flash cards and studying in a way where the information is not directly in front of you is a great option to retain the information that you are studying and test your knowledge.

ATTENTION! Students and guardians should complete this registration together. This is a two-step process and both steps MUST be completed in order for your school to order your exams.

One step is to enroll your exams with the College Board. You should have already done this using the "join codes" provided by your teacher/school. If you have not done this contact your teacher.

The other step is to complete the registration below.

A confirmation page indicates that the first step has been completed. The confirmation page will include the information needed to complete the second step of enrolling courses/exams in the College Board's system, MyAP.CollegeBoard.org. This step should be completed right away as exams will not be ordered if both steps are not completed.

Garnet Valley High School is excited to offer families the ability to pay their exam fees online at the time of registration. Please be sure to have a credit card or debit card available before beginning registration.
