Final presentation speech I have a presentation in english, I'm not hood at english class but I wanted to go all out to get an A but the thing in my way is my stutter. The words is good but I wish I could have some one else present and I tell the what to say. I also get very worse stuttering in class and stuff due to worrying and I have to dress nice and I dont like to wear dresses so that's also another thing. Also no kandi and I cant wear a jacket and I get sweaty easily like my face everything and I have some scars on my arm. My school has a program for smart 7-8th grades hen when they are in other they mix with new freshmen so no one knows about my mental stuff because they weren't here last year when I wasnt at school for time due to it. I also wear kandi bracelets to hide it plus my jacket. I'm so worried. Like they are pretty noticable even after a year or so, in black and the scars are lighter than me and puffed up. They treat me like I'm dumb, like I'm slow I do say weird things but its only weird to them I think i said too much but do any of yall have advice about speeches or how did yells go. I had a speech class in Utah and It was horrible I felt like I was going to die it was embarrassing even when people told me I did good my body wouldn't calm down and it was like my brain took me saying I would rather be dead seriously and started closing my airways it was embarrassing I just dont want to mess it up
