Based on data collected and analyzed in this research project, the [American Psychological Association reported](https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2018/09/freshmen-mental-health)that one in three college freshman "report symptoms consistent with a diagnosable mental health disorder." While their findings are alarming, they are not altogether surprising.  Topics: [Parenting](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades6-8/topic/parenting) [College Readiness](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades6-8/topic/college-readiness) [Teen Mental Health](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades6-8/topic/teen-mental-health) [Continue Reading](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades6-8/hurt-healing-and-hope-mental-health-among-todays-teens) ###### 4 min read ## [Keep Running Your Race](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades6-8/keep-running-your-race) By [Nancy Secrest](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades6-8/author/nancy-secrest) on Jul 29, 2020 9:00 PM [![](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/hubfs/Keep%20Running%20Your%20Race%20(1).jpg)](https://discover.worthingtonchristian.com/grades6-8/keep-running-your-race) There seems to be a growing sense of apathy because of all the change, uncertainty, unpredictability that we are living in these days. None of us know what's really going to happen or how it's going to happen, so it can feel hard to get excited and look forward to things that we've been expecting. If you are finding yourself feeling anxious or unmotivated or apathetic, know that you are not alone. It is helpful to identify these feelings and even share them with a trusted friend.
