That’s my biggest issue too. If I’m put on the spot I get nervous. Biggest tip I can give is have confidence, even if it’s fake confidence. Also know that once you get older and are at a place in your...

Perhaps the classes will help you in other ways, which is fine of course. :) "Nerves" is a factor. How much of a factor it would be for you, and what might be done about it, we wouldn't know. If you ...

Im 15 years old and my parents already paid the 7 classes so I cant do much, feel like those classes aint going to help much but its already done, at least the people in the class are really supportiv...

thank you for giving me some advice! and my teacher is the only one that will see my speech (hopefully) i am just nervous because what if she won't understand my situation and scold me for it 😅 i rea...
