The aim of the article was to study the manifestation of school anxiety in adolescents, depending on the characteristics of the child-parent relationship. Theoretical aspects of school anxiety in adolescence are analyzed, its factors and consequences are outlined. It is shown that the central cause of various forms of anxiety in children and adolescents are the peculiarities of the child-parent relationship. The empirical part of the study involved 109 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years (51 boys and 58 girls). Phillips' "School Anxiety Test" and E. Schaefer's questionnaire ADOR - "Teenagers about Parents" adapted by L. Wasserman, I. Gorkova and E. Romitsyna were used. Descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion, correlation analysis, comparative analysis using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test were used for data processing. The results of the empirical study demonstrate the gender and age peculiarities of anxiety in adolescence. It was found that among the manifestations of anxiety the greatest severity is the fear of not meeting the requirements of others. Differences between different forms of school anxiety among adolescent girls and boys are described. In particular, girls have significantly higher levels of general anxiety at school, fear of selfexpression, fear in the test situation and lower levels of physiological resistance to stress than boys. It is shown that the level of severity of certain forms of school anxiety increases significantly among adolescents aged 14-15 years. It has been shown that there is a link between different forms of school anxiety and parental attitudes towards adolescents. Among the various dimensions of parenting, boys are most sensitive to hostility on the part of the mother, which is associated with a number of forms of anxiety: fear of self-expression, fear of not meeting the demands of others, reduced physiological stress resistance. While among girls, the manifestation of certain forms of anxiety decreases with increasing manifestation of positive interest from the mother and hostility from the father.
