           This article stresses the issues dealing with social anxiety in the classroom.  It explains the many different ways social anxiety may be shown, and also how it effects a students social and academic behavior.  The article reads that many kids won't do school work if it involves asking for help, speaking in front of others, or just generally socializing in any way.  Student's suffer through this anxiety throughout their lives with the risk taken of holding them back from succeeding.  This issue of social anxiety is strongly fought against in the use of self-advocacy.  Many withdraw into this issue for fear of being judged, embarrassed, or even bullied by others.  Self-advocacy promotes one to speak/act out in an attempt to benefit that individual, so that they may succeed in future endeavors.
