Practice in front of the mirror and family.

Try out for cheerleading. Submitting yourself to stuck up snobs to emotionally destory you is the perfect thing to do!!
jk
in reality, there's nothing you can really do, just suck it up...

OMG!!I have the same problem..But don't worry..I'm shy too..LoL..Well, one day before the presentation, I practiced my speech infront of the mirror..And don't forget to pretend that no one's watching you, so you won't be so afraid of it..Hope I helped!

o this is a tough one. well u could try the age old way of pretending that people r in their underwear...but that doesnt usually work. i am into theatre and performances so when i go in front of a big crown and i get a little bit stage fright i take a deep breath, count to ten and then i try to find one special person in the audience like a close frind or my mom and i act as if they are the only one there. and just them looking at me and smiling helps me a lot!!
i hope i helped a little
good luck

Okay, my advice is to NOT picture everyone naked... you don't want to be giggling through the whole thing. Instead, pretend that you're giving the presentation in front of your mom or dad or a very close friend -- someone that would pay attention and be proud of you no matter how it went. That's what I always do for presentations at school!
♥ Hope I helped.

I have this problem myself... You should practice what you're going to say so you won't get up there and forget your lines. Before you go up there remind yourself that it's just one little presentation that's not even gonna matter in a few days. If you mess up no one will care, others will be messing up too. If you do mess up just remind yourself no one will even remember it happened tomorrow and try to laugh at yourself. You're supposed to make eye contact during presentations but if that makes you too nervous try looking at some of you close friends in the class and try to forget the other people in the room. Before you go up just take deep breaths and relax. Hope this helps! Good luck

Practice in front of your friends or family or practice by yourself. Be clear, don't mumble when you speak. Stand strait, don't slouch when you speak. Make eye contact, don't keep your head and eyes down on your paper or whatever it is your presenting. Try practicing these things over and over in front of your family and friends and I think if you do that then you will be just fine with your presentation.
Hope this helped and good luck with your presentation!

Just remember that everyone else in the class has to do the same presentation, and that more than half the kids wont even listen.

I had the same problem. But it's easily overcome, when your last presentation was a total failer, and you're fighting to survive. So just consentrate on your grade, and forget about all those poeple. Just think, gatta make eye contact with the teacher, gatta get a good grade, gatta speak slowly, at reasonable pace, gatta not make too make pauses.... and so on
Or....
Meet new people, like joining a club or sport. People who have same intrest as you do. That should boost your confidence levle. Oh yeah, practice alot. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.......

Remember to practice a lot, because if you do enough then it should mostly be memorized, and you'll be able to do it without thinking about what you're saying. Try practicing in front of your family or some friends, then you shouldn't be as nervous.

pretend you are just talking to your friends, instead of looking at the class, look like over their heads so it looks like you are looking at them, loook at a certain object in the room or sometihnng like that, once you start, you will probally be comfortable

Overcoming an obstacle is never an easy thing. The best and only way ( in my opinion) is to practice the skill of presenting until you become more comfortable with it. If you think about your everyday life, you are constantly presenting: when shopping, when talking to people, when asking questions. These opportunities allow you to develop your presentation skills and ultimately overcome your shyness. Being shy is not permanent and can be easily overcome with practice. You must force yourself and make a conscious effort to become extroverted in order to overcome this minor flaw. Remember though that this cannot happen overnight, it is a skill that you need to develop slowly.
Good Luck,
