Answer: Miriam is experiencing symptoms of anxiety.

Explanation: Anxiety is one of the most common symptoms that a person manifests. In teenagers, it often comes with constant worries, headaches, and worry about what may happen in the future.

In Miriam's case, she seems to have had bad experiences at school and already has pre-determined actions on her mind that will happen to her once she gets on the bus.
