she called me boring


Question Posted Thursday December 14 2006, 2:44 pm

ok this teacher is crushing me, before this.. no teacher had ever made me cry.. ever, im not that sensitive.. but this teacher has made me cry a total of 4 times - and i've only had her once a week since september!!

i used to have such a great confidence when it came to oral assignments.. and speech in general.. now.. i cant give a speech without crying before, and i always end up messing up. I used to get all sorts of awards for being a great public speaker - now im failing all oral assignments i've been giving. SHE HAS COMPLETELY ERASED MY CONFIDENCE.. and it all started with har calling my speech boring, telling me i spoke to quickly, i stuttered too much..she just had sooo much to complain about.. yet to the rest of the class.. she was sweet and gave them all (almost) great grades. now the semester is over, finally, and i was given the lowest grade in the class. i cry about it all the time.. and i have a fear of public speaking.. something i used to be AWESOME at..

what do i do?? get a privte tutor to help me get my confidence back? talk to a counselor?? or just forget about it??

one thing for sure, u cant just forget about it. i think your teacher is pushing you to reach your upmost potential. she's probably testing you on how great you really are and that you should prove it to her. anyways, i havent been in a situation like yours so i don't think i have the best advice, but i do wish you the best of luck and i'm sure you'll get your confidence back but to tell you the truth, i think it's in there somewhere hiding.

teachers can either make you or break you. she might be trying to push you to the edge, because she knows your not at your full potential. or this teacher might be just a bad teacher. before each oral assignment, just breathe in and out, and concentrate on someone. prove her wrong, and show that you can do it! if it gets worse, i would talk to either a counselor, and/ or your parents.

best of luck!!!
-woahhhh
