But why do we feel this way as tween girls? Well, we're still figuring out who we are and what we're good at. There's a lot of pressure to be perfect, and that can make us extra worried about making mistakes. Our brains are still growing, so we're more likely to think the worst of every situation if it doesn’t turn out the way we hoped or planned. We also tend to compare ourselves to others, which can make us feel more anxious about not measuring up to our peers.


Let's face it, we tend to feel anxious about making mistakes in all kinds of situations, like school tests, sporting events, trying to be creative, and even just hanging out with friends and family at game night.
