Stage Fright!
Hey Everyone!
I am an 8th grader and I have satge fright! I get so scared in front of an audience when I have to present something. It's only that way with presentations, but other wise I can go up in front of 30 friends and not get scared. It's only when a teacher is grading me and the room is completely quiet. When I get nervous my whoel bodt starts to shaek, my face turns red, and my voice gets shaky. I have no clue what to do! This up coming week I have liek 5 presentations and I feel like crying! Is there any drug that calms your nerves so you can't get frighten? or is there like a website out there, and don't either bother saying about being prepared or practicing helps because it doesn't! Please help me! : ( Thank-you

omg this happens to me too. I freak out when im up on stage or in the front of the class. But anyways lol what i do is I just pretend im reading it to my parents or im reading it to myself in my room. And what makes you more nervous is, is that you make eye contact all you have to do is just like if you have to talk to the class or something just when you do just look ay the back or the room or just look at the teacher. i know that calms me down,thats what i did when i was in chrous class i had to sing in front of the whole class, it was terrible. or just dont look up at all untill you finished. but believe everyone is just as nervous and as scard as you are but mabey there just not showing it. but dont worry you will be just fine.
hope i helped

Look over the tops of the heads of the audience, that way it looks like you're looking at everyone in that area. ( Old trick I learned from acting class )
Also, stand up straight, and realize that everyone out there has made a mistake, and some of them are probably more scared than you are. If you make a mistake, just recover and keep talking.
The best thing I ever did was stand up straight, shoulders back, and looked confident even if I wasn't.
