I just want Vacation to come faster :/

Ok so 2 weeks till Christmas, and my sister is coming down next Monday till Sunday with my new niece. But anyways in school we have health for a quarter. She gave us this thing they call a ''common task'' We have to pick a drug name and then give a presentation on it. It has to be no less then 10 minutes. I can <span style="text-decoration:underline">not</span> present <span style="font-style:italic">anything</span> in front of anyone no matter what. I will freak out, no lie. When I get in front of a class I get mad fun of and I'm just not comfortable with doing it and never was. I shake and I turn red and its embarrassing. My guidance counselor is out till after vacation because she just had a baby. She told me last year that I can stay after and present anything. This health/gym teacher is newer and I don't know if she knows I'm able to do that. I am afraid if I ask her she will say no. Should I talk to the guidance counselor that is filling in for her and tell him I can't do it in front of people? or should I just talk to the health teacher when the time comes closer to when its due? I'm just stressed about all of it. and today the history teacher says ''tomorrow we will act out in front of the class'' Yeah.. no.. not going to happen. I will refuse to do it.

    Wow. I have to do a 7-10 page research paper on 911 I picked it and its really interesting but I dont have to present it in front of anyone :/ I think you should tell the sub-counselor what your normal counselor said.<br>How long is your Christmas break? Mine is only 2 weeks :/ I was supposed to have longer because the teacher was gonna go to Flordia to see his Daughter and Grand Daughter and his son but now he isnt :( I go to a kinda private school (church school) lol thats why I only have one teacher if you were wondering.

    Maybe talk to the counsler? He may be able to help you learn some good strategies to help you not get so nervous. I know it's hard but you will probably have to do a lot of presenting though school, college, and maybe your career too. As long as your not holding it right in front of your face, you can look at your paper so you don't have to look at the class. If you mess up, just be like "Oh, sorry, I meant...." and keep going. If people tell you that you looked nervous or you messed up a lot just sort of chuckle, shrug, and say "Oh, I'm not that good with presenting." Then walk away or change the subject. Good luck.

    I can't wait for break too. As much as I'm looking forward to next semester, I need a good rest. This semester ends the 17th, so I guess my break officially starts on the 18th.<br><br>Definitely have a chat with the fill in counselor if you're uncomfortable. I'm sure some kind of deal could be made to make it easier on you.<br>You should try to push yourself to do it though. I understand how hard it is, I have social anxiety disorder, but you can overcome that fear if your keep practicing. Giving up and letting the fear win is only hurting you. You don't have to ever like presenting things, but it's important to be able to get through them, because you will have to do plenty in college(if you plan to go), and possibly some throughout life. Above all, you're just human like everyone else, so don't beat yourself up if you make a few mistake or get a shaky.

    When I get in front of people I seriously cry because I get so nervous and stressed also sometimes I get light headed. I only had a year left of high school. Another thing im so stressed about failing health. I failed the health test and Im gonna see if I can retake it.

    <br> It's a panic attack, dear. You should talk to a professional about getting help to control them. I went from being agoraphobic, to speaking in front of my graduating class all from just talking to a psychologist about how I was feeling.<br><br> What happens if you fail? Would you be prevented from graduating? Could you take the class again?

    This should be as a last resort, since as Sushi said, just letting it get to you is really hurting you in the end. But when I went to my counselor and told her about my anxiety disorder, she offered to speak to all my teachers to let me get out of doing presentations in front of the whole class, and waiting till everyone was gone and just doing them in front of her. <br><br>I would get bad grades because I refused to go up and speak. I'd break out in cold sweats, usually start shaking, and start stuttering or completely forgetting what I was supposed to say.
