Is it normal that i hate talking in front of the class?

Everytime we're doing any presentations etc. i do EVERYTHING to avoid it. I lie to my teachers and parents, eg. that i'm losing my voice, that i haven't done any work, or that i feel really sick. If we've got any homeworks and then we have to read them to everyone, I'm just ready to get detention and not do it. What should i do?

  • Yeah. At least ur teacher doesn't make u do a 15 minute presentation on a topic of ur choice at the end if the year. I hate when ppl look at me. Like I yell at my parents or brother when they stare at me. Like idky they stare.

    This is very common i used to be the same, for abit i was able to only do them infront of the teacher. From this i was able to gain confidence in giving speaches if it was infront of the classi literally couldnt talk. Id try to practice your speach alot so you feel confident if you have another one to do. If you feel confident that you know your speech you will feel more relaxed. And just remember to everyone else it is not a big deal you are just another person giving a speach, everyone will have forgoten you after the next guy.
