I'm 17 too, and I'm in year 12 (I'm from England, and so i think that's junior year in the US) and so I think we've probably had similar experiences up to now. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with ...

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I had just as much of a hard time in high school. In fact I still have vivid dreams about embarrassing presentations and getting called on to read and barely b...

Hi. I've been there. Speaking out loud in class felt like one of the worth things ever and that was in the 70s/80s. I know how you feel. ​ Regarding your friends, if they are your friends, ...

I have big relation to what you’ve went through and I am to experience it tomorrow, a painful presentation, the mockery and disgust pointed just as you said. I don’t mean to speak of negativity but we...

The part about parents and teachers telling the kids they don't have to talk hits me very hard. I was this exact kid, never had to talk to anybody if I didn't want to, and now at 20 years old I'm real...

Blocking is when you can't get words out of you. I block frequently enough, but I know what I want to say. No noise, no air, etc. gets out so most people wouldn't even know unless I was in the middl...
