I had to do a project for history class, and we had to talk about it in front of the class. I was so nervous, i couldn't even speak. The professor gave me a fail for my project. how can i over come this? I practice for 3 hours in front of family with no problem, but when i am in class, i get so nervous, i can't even stand up...

because your are afraid of what they are thinking about you whilst you are up there. i use that fear to my advantage and they turn out better than ever

It may be a bit of insecurity or lack of self esteem..do you get picked on? When talking in front of a crowd, what i do is pick out 3-5 people and keep moving your eyes from one to the other..you will scan past the others but they will see your eyes moving and think you are talking to them directly.Another reason may be your not 100% comfortable with the subject and feel you may say something wrong..know your topic and run with it..remember, they are there to hear your opinion, nothing else

this is really a matter of confidence and belief in your abilities. what your problem is is that you're afraid people will laugh at you or that you will mess up and ppl will think your stupid. Its is kinda an insecurity with yourself. The best way to get rid of this would be to get a couple classmates and practice with them. Then you will be much better off.

Fear of being judged by your peers. Fear of making a social mistake. Practice, practice, practice and eventually you will become proficient and comfortable with public speaking. Its a great skill to master! Keep up the good work.

you need to practice infront of some classmates, not your family. With your family you have great ease, but you need to practice infront of people who will make you uneasy.
