Abstract

The issue of mental health gained prominence in the public debate mainly by incorporating a discussion on the need for socio-emotional skills to experience stress, frustration and inequality in a purposeful way. The text proposal is to present an ethnographic twist to the theme, based on a research experience still in progress in the context of a public school of      professional education in the rural area of Ceará. In general terms, the ethnographic research aims to interpret the phenomenon of anxiety (as the students call it) in the form of a social process of identification, guilt and social suffering that materializes at school as an agentive stage of youth sociability.
