Abstract
The purpose of this study was to better understand how classroom teachers can build on their relationships with sixth-grade students suffering from anxiety. The measurement tool was a questionnaire and survey created in Google Forms. The study was a descriptive study to understand the causes of anxiety in sixth-grade students. The participants were 193 sixth-grade students who ranged from age 11 to 12. Findings showed that many factors contribute to anxiety in young middle school students, and COVID-19, no doubt, also attributed to their fears and worries. Further training and studies in the field of mental health in middle schoolers would be beneficial to address anxious students, especially as we slowly start to resume our normalcy and return to hopefully a more normal (or at least stable) school year.
