Struggling in classrooms
Hi.. Um, recently in classes (I am in year 8) I have not had the courage to put my hand up, and when I do, I stutter and cannot make eye contact with the teacher, and afterwards, my heart races and it takes several minutes to calm down. I don't feel scared! But something still happens. I just don't want to mess up. It is only ever in classes, with all the people that I hate in my teaching-group causing it. Please help to stop this, before it ruins my future
I understand how hard it is for you to participate in class because you are afraid that you are going stutter and that is going to lead to an uncomfortable situation for you. It sounds like that you feel under a lot of pressure and you would like that feeling to go away. I know that other people can be very non-understanding and judgmental as well.
It will not ruin your future! Just know you have just as much worth as them never think that and next time it happens just breathe and collect yourself and try again! Might take some time but practice makes perfect (sorry I tried helping)
