Contrary to the classical ``cold'' view of star formation, star forming clouds and YSOs abound with high energy phenomena. YSOs of almost all masses are intense sources of X-rays, with luminosities well above those of main sequence stars. Most of this emission originates in coronae, qualitatively similar to those of the Sun and of other main sequence stars. X-rays are also emitted in shocks at the base of mass accretion funnels and in jets. Diffuse X-ray emission from high mass star forming cloud has also been detected. I discuss the current status of observations with regard to these X-ray emission mechanisms, and the influence of X-rays from YSOs on circumstellar disks.
