It's alright, I actually thank you for this comment. I feel better knowing someone's out there that is in nearly the same situation as me. I swear nobody in my class has the same issues I have on spea...

I understand what you’re going through. I actaully experience the same thing on my English classes. Unfortunately I have no advice to you, because I feel the same about speaking in class. I’m in 9th g...
