Answers:

Yes. It is possible. I had it when I was about 9 or so, and I got help. I'm 15 now, and if I wouldn't have had help, then I still would have it now. I also felt paranoid and afraid of people. I didn't really wanna be around them too often. I just felt uncomfortable. I also know a friend who has general anxiety, and she is 14 right now [15 in two months.] If you think it is really effecting your life, talk to your mom or dad or whoever takes care of you and get it fixed ASAP because the earlier you catch it, the easier it is to treat and cure. I still have some anxiety but it's so rare that it really doesn't matter anymore. :]
