Well today my class had a group presentation. I kinda messed up and got lost in some part of my speech. I saw some people not paying attention and I thought to myself "whats the point?" I then got mixed up with my speech and said things wrongly. My tone was also unsure. I hope this won't make people think I'm a stupid person... I didn't make friends with everyone yet and I wanna thats why I hope this won't make them dislike me. Would you dislike someone if they messed up on a speech or presentation?

If you were to ask a group of people what their biggest fear is, most would say "public speaking". Just as you don't think someone who messes up when having to give a presentation as you did today is "an idiot", people won't think this of you. Everybody knows what a horrible thing having to give a public speech is and will totally understand why you were so uncomfortable! Don't worry about it! Very few people can get up in front of a group and talk without making some sort of mistake if not a bunch!

Public speaking is not an easy task. Once you gain self confidence you will do better. You must practice your presentation before presenting it to minimize the risk of mistakes. Stay focused on your presentation so your not worrying about what the audience is thinking instead of getting the right words out.
Keep in mind that your presentation may not interest the audience your presenting too. What you do for your grade is different than what people (students) want to hear. Do your work for your grade not for popularity.

NO WAY!!! are you serious? That is in no way a reason not to like someone. Most people mess up in presentations at school. That is why you are there....to learn and to practice doing things. Now, there might be someone out there who wouldn't like someone because of that....there are always *** holes like that. But, the average person doesn't think like that. Don't be so hard on yourself!!! No one is perfect....and you never will be!!

I don't think people really care about other peoples presentations unless they were interested in the subject matter in the first place. Other than that i think it's kind of cute when i see a guy mess up and get nervous all it says is that you are human. Don't worry you'll be fine.

It was probably pretty obvious that when you messed up you had trouble moving on from that point. I don't think people will hold it against you too much, you were just nervous. Next time you are in a situation like that, it is perfectly okay to pause and regain your composure. Don't dwell on the goof, have a good laugh at yourself and be confident!

Never. I'm a teacher and I know that even if a person messes up, it doesn't mean that they are bad people. For example, I'm a high school English teacher. My students always complain about everything....this doesn't mean that they hate me..they just don't like what they are being forced to learn. No one will dislike you because of one mistake...if they do, then they are incredibly stupid.

I wouldn't, but honestly, kids proabably would. Teenagers these days are a tough crowd. I's sorry because this isn't the answer you want to hear, but if you're a new kid and that was your first impression, you're gonna have to work your way out of it. Which I am sure you can do, I'm just giving you my honest opinion. Of course, all hope isn't lost, but it certainly didn't help your situation. Just be confident and be yourself from here on out, and you will do fine.

it rather is no longer a turn-off in any respect while you're prepared to chuckle at your self and admit your mistake. men like ladies who're prepared to look human. And in case you made out for 2 hours right away appropriate after, i'd say your mistake wasn't that undesirable in any respect

NO -- Some people are just naturals @ speaking in front of groups of people. PERSONALLY, I wouldn't hold it against you. And if they do, then they aren't the type of friends you would like to have around anyways.
If I was in the audience & saw your struggle, I would want to help you. So I think it might benifit you.
GOOD LUCK!!! : )
