But if your teacher says you have to i would practice alot! try practicing in front of a mirror and in front of your family...also try toning your voice different...just remember your voice is what makes you unique and different...and that should make you feel good...dont let thoes other kids get to you!....hope i helped!

Theres nothing wrong with you and dont let them laugh at you. Have fun with it! If they laugh at you then you laugh with them. You wont be scared. Maybe if you dont want to do that ask your teacher if she can read it out loud and just tell her how you feel. x0 [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

Ask if you can go first that way everyone will be so worried about doing their own report that they wont care about yours that way you can still get a good grade [ illiana's advice column | Ask illiana A Question ]

Daisy answered Wednesday April 20 2005, 6:58 am: Can you tape it or do it as a video? If you have to read it out loud can you show pictures on a slide projector as then you will be in the dark! [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]

OrangeChikn answered Tuesday April 19 2005, 7:36 pm: Unfortunately, I feel your pain. But it seems as if you don't have to much of a choice, that is if you want a grade. I'd just humor it, if it happens again. Everyone gets embarrassed once in a while, and that's not the worst way to go.
charmed-cherry21 answered Tuesday April 19 2005, 7:33 pm: Ask your teacher if you can record it on a tape recorder and if she/he will play it for the class so you don't have to present it yourself.
sweetjewel answered Tuesday April 19 2005, 7:28 pm: you have to or else the teacher might take off on your participation grade so just pretend your talking to yourself or someone you feel comfortable with [ sweetjewel's advice column | Ask sweetjewel A Question ]

o0xbrianna answered Tuesday April 19 2005, 7:26 pm: It sounds like you don't really have a choice. Don't go to school that day. Or, tell the teacher you don't feel comfortable reading things outloud. Sorry.
