i don't even know what to put


Question Posted Saturday November 25 2006, 11:59 pm

Ok, first I'm 16/f and a junior in high schoo. And I'm smart, I'm in honors and AP classes. But for some reason I can't seem to talk during discussions and stuff. Like I'm too scared to raise my hand because I'm afraid I'll give the wrong answer and feel like an idiot or something. Even though I'm telling myself I have the right answer I don't try. I feel like I can't talk about something as well as the others in my classes. And I'm really quiet if I do answer, like I don't want anyone to hear me. My English teacher even told me I have good ideas and that I should speak up more, but I can't sem to be able to do that. So anyone have an idea about what's wrong with me? Thanks!

Nothing's wrong with you. Everyone is different, you dont need to change how you do things or do things you're not comfortable with. Only answer questions when you feel like it, don't feel forced into answering, that'll make you feel worse.

I'm the same way, because I'm way too concerned about what other people think of me. Just TRY speaking up more. I know it's easier said than done, I'm speaking from experience, but if you have a wrong answer, it's not a big deal. You can just blow it off, and say it was a silly mistake (which it will be). Nobody is ALWAYS correct. Chances are you'll feel sillier if you have a right answer and don't speak up than if you have a wrong one, and you do.
