So she sets out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying thing she can imagine: entering the Miss Teen Blue Bonnet Pageant—along with several other unlikely candidates—to show the world that she deserves to be up there as much as any twiggy girl does.

Frommer Cik explores what anxiety is and why we have it, and explains the different types of anxieties, anxiety triggers, coping strategies, and possible paths of treatment.
