Anxiety is different for everyone, so not all of these methods will work, and there may be other, better ways to handle anxiety depending on the person.

• Talk to an adult. Anxiety is not something you have to face alone. There are adults who care about you and can get you the proper care
• See a psychiatrist, or a therapist. They have many helpful coping methods for anxiety and can provide you with many helpful resources. 
• How to handle anxiety (and occasionally, panic) attacks: Via everyday health
  • Take deep breaths, and focus on getting your heart rate down
  • Try your hardest to push away negative thoughts, and replace them with reassuring ones.
  • Step back and think about the reality of the situation that is causing you anxiety. Try to think about it logically, and work it out yourself.
  • Handle the situation. If you need to leave or politely ask someone to stop doing something, do so. If a situation is causing you serious anxiety, talk to an adult.
• How to help someone who has anxiety: Via Psychology Today
  • Educate yourself about anxiety and try to see what the person is experiencing. Anxiety is a complicated thing, and it is important that you don't rush in with any misconceptions.
  • Ask the person what they need. In a time of crisis, they will need someone to help them, but it is important that you let them tell you what they need, if they can.
  • Just be there. Sometimes people just need someone not to ask questions, but to be there. They may also be embarrassed. De-stigmatize the situation. Make sure they know that they are loved and that there is nothing to be ashamed of.
