Public Performance Anxieties?

[isis]

I had this problem until I reached high school. In 9th grade I ended up getting in a geography class that was predominantly male juniors & seniors. I was happy with the circumstances I found myself in until I realized we had to give a presentation every friday. If I did poorly they would boo at me & if I said something nervous-sounding they would mock me & then laugh hysterically. It was a nightmare but eventually I got surprisingly good at it to where they couldn't boo/mock/laugh/etc. In college I was thankful for that class that got me okay with public speaking bc it was required in practically every class I took. To this day it doesn't bother me much, thanks to that class, but I only enjoy it if I'm drunk.
