Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
I think that is more of a psychological problem, I don't think medications will help a lot there. And I don't think it's anxiety either, anxiety is when you feel you need something but don't know what (people sometimes eat a lot because of this condition). Anyway, you're not the only one. For one, I am a pretty fast reader but when I have to read out loud I tend to studder a bit. And I'm also stage frightened.
My advice is you need a boost of self confidence, try to relax, maybe meditate.
If it still continues seek help froma psychologist.

aw don't worry about it.. it's just stage fright it happen's to alot of people.. i used to get it to but all you have to do is focus 100% on what your doing and forget about the people infront of you or just don't look at them it helps to look past the crowd find a spot on the back walla to fucus on instead of the people there

I advise you to go see your doctor for such help. It does sound like you do have some sort of a problem. The best and number one chioce is to go seek a doctor for this case.

There are medications for really bad phobias but I don't think you necessarily need one. Many people are nervous about speaking in front of others. I suggest that before you go see a shrink about it, talk to your teacher and look at some web sites to find ways to relax and get over your problem on your own. My way is to look over the heads of the people I'm talking to, look at the wall instead, and imagine I'm alone in the room.

I think you are jumping the gun a little here darling. Lots of people get nervous when they need to speak in front of others; according to a old survey people are generally more afraid of public speaking then they are of death.
Don't rush in for medication, although medication does exist for this sort of thing, it shouldn't be your first option, can have some nasty side effects and don't always address the real problem.
First try speaking to a counselor or teacher; they can be a great resource for some coping techniques. A Behavioral Therapist can also be a very valuable resource if you think you have a phobia, they will help you deal with it in your day to day life, not just try to medicate it away.
And lastly, consider this:
When people get scared they start to breath faster and shallower. That puts more oxygen in their body and makes them MORE nervous! Causes the heart rate to jump, and can also be a factor in the dry mouth and shaking. So control your breathing, slowly and deeply. You'll be surprised just how much calmer you feel if you count take three extremely slow breaths before you try to present.

No, that's just stage fright. EVERYBODY gets it. Everybody. You just have to be confident.

This is for school, right? I would tell a teacher about it that you're having panic attacks or it's making you really uncomfortable. Suggest that you could give a speech to the teacher after school and get points? Or record it at home or something. Yeah...I have a similar problem too...
