Q: The problem I have is speaking in front of people. I get sweaty, nervous, my heart starts beating, and I just can't talk. How do I cure this? Is there a possible way to overcome it? Or am I stuck with it for life?
I'm a 14 year old male.

Dear 14 year old male,
Public speaking is the number one fear in the U.S.. There are things you can do to overcome this. You can take a public speaking class. Try making speeches in front of one or two people, then gradually increase. Try even speaking in front of stuffed animals. When you're in front of a bunch of people, don't look at them, look above their heads, so you're talking to the wall. Pretend you're in your room speaking to those stuffed animals again. You're not stuck with it for life.
