Another 15% said they were worried about the amount of food their parents/careers can afford.
Meanwhile, 54% of children whose households have used foodbanks within the past 12 months worry about the amount of food their parents can afford.
Of the teenagers surveyed by Lowell, 73% said that the pandemic had caused them to worry more, with education and socialising being the main reasons.
With school tests cancelled due to the crisis, 60% of teenagers reported feeling anxious about their schoolwork, with 55% worrying about their grades from school tests.
And 35% of teenagers said they are worried about their mental health due to the restrictions put in place for Covid-19.
Lowell surveyed 1500 children aged between the ages of six and 16 on how poverty and the current pandemic is impacting the them.
John Pears, Lowell UK Managing Director said: "During this time of global instability, many people are anxious about a number of things.
As a parent myself, I find it very upsetting to think that children are worrying about anything, let alone family finances.
"We would urge anyone, regardless of whether they have children, to reach out and speak to someone if they are struggling with their finances.
"There are a number of organisations out there who can provide specialist impartial support to anyone who is feeling pressure."
