my turtle is always very scared

by kimberley

my turtle when i try to touch it gets quite scared and if i put it in a fenced area it will desperately try to get out the turtle was on grass or on solid area and sometimes gets frantic and will try to bite it wont let me hold it for a minute without it struggleing alot and its really hard to just hold on to him to put him back in his cage it is two years old just got it i believe it wasnt treated right what could i do to make it more socialable
