hi. im bee. im 16. and i'd love to help you!

advice

I don't know if i'm super shy or if it's a medical problem but I can NOT present in the front of the class. I can't even stand up there and read one paragragh! My legs and voice automatically starts shaking, my face gets redder and redder, and if I stay long enough tears just come out of my eyes.

Sometimes if the teacher is undestanding, she'll let me present it to her alone during recess but this is for a big project that is about half of our report cards. 30% is going to be in our oral marks so I HAVE to present. There's going to be about 3-10 pages to read.

I can't even barely stand up there to read one paragrapgh so how am I going to read ten pages? I was so nervous that one time I fainted! Taking deep breathes and calming myself down does not work. Please help me..my life is literally on the line and my reputation in the school too

ok you need to relax. When you are reading your paper just pretend you are all alone in your room practicing. Pretend there is no one around you. I think your worried about what people will think about you, and you shouldn't. Focus on your grade, and getting throught the presentaion. If you focus to much on the people watching you, you will get too nervous and not know what to do.

i know this one girl, she wouldnt present a powerpoint presentation, and she was soo nervous she ran out of the room. Finally she realized that she needed to pull it together. So she presented her project and everyone loved it, now she's not afraid to give presentations, and shes more outgoing.

hope i helped. please let me know how things work out. Good Luck!!
