hehe my mom buys her socks in the guy's appartment..she says she feel more confortalble with them...and she buys her pants there too.. she doesn't like jeans from there..cuz she said her butt looks ugly xD

That's why I think back then in history, men were paranoid. >_> They didn't need the women until they came crying to us in like World War II. Or I think...

they need us even many of them don't accept it -___-;;
i don't like those countries where woman has to cover all of them with something like a blanket..but apartently we are a sin.. (sorry people from that cuntries..but i just dislike that tradition)...they have a wrong idea for that stupid tale of adan and eva..so "it's our fault" that god take us away from paradise...

Yes, I agree. http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/ We should all be comfortable in our own skin.

that commercial of that site ;_; *sobs*

is so beatiful ><"

Eh, off topic... Because I don't really know where this should belong...
I just can't understand why I still get stage fright when my Chinese teacher asked me to do a show and tell in front of the whole class. It's not that I do not know them, I've known them for at least half a year, talked to most of them, but I JUST CAN'T speak properly when I'm dragged to the front of the class all by myself. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it already happened more than once... I just can't figure out why I'm so uncomfortable presenting to a class I'm familar with.. (Oh my... All those eyes staring at me...) Has anyone else encountered such problems before?
And.. you can just ignore this post, since it is off topic in the first place...It is just that I really don't know who to talk to about this... (My mum doesn't seem to know how troubled I am with this. She always end the conversation with "just treat them as dummies and continue talking" whenever I bring this topic up.)

[~Bloody_Rose~]

^ uh.. im always like that... I can't speak in front of the class.. i thinks it's because all of them are looking at you.. and if you made a mistake, you're afraid that they might laugh... you're curious what they think about you while you are in front, talking... mothers can't understand their kids! *just joking.. well... sometimes...*

[kudan]

I guess so... But what really troubles me is that I DO know them.. NOt they are total strangers. XD A t least now I know I'm not the only one. XD

[~Bloody_Rose~]

yeah it's the same if you know them or if they are strangers... of course you'll be curious.. how do i look in their eyes? what do they think about me? am i doing the right thing? you are afraid to make a mistake... all of us are afraid.

That's exactly how I feel every time I'm supposed to present in front of the class... I get embarrassed easily... :X Then I'll just suddenly pause when I speak and start stammering. My friend said I was shaking. 0.o (But I didn't noticed that though. XD)

I know what you mean. I can't stand standing in front of people and talking while they are looking at me. But I have to get over this fear, becasue my job is not only coding on the computer, but I havet to have great communication skills when presentating my website, meet clients, and all that. I can't stand it. I feel I want to cry when standing in front of every one. Its too scarey 

[moezychan]

I'm joining the club. I can't stand to talk in front of other people. I get panic attacks and stop breathing. I've gotten better that I can present, but I still don't like to do it. Problem is, becoming a teacher, I have to learn how to talk in front of other people and it really isn't easy.

That's when I use my microphone and webcam and practice. I've found that it actually helps. For those who don't have webcams and/or microphones, use your mirror. It really helps.

[~Namine~]

yea I get a bit nervous when talking in front of other people I couldnt even tell my boyfriends parents how much i care about them and respect them b/c I got so nervous ;  ;

I know what you mean. They help me a bit too. I hate my teachers though. They think just becasue we are in the same class for the whole semester we are comforable standing in front of the class. Don't they understand that if it was my friends, then ya I feel comforable, but these are people you know because they are in your class, but they are not your friends that you hang out with after school and all. Even if some of your friends are in your class, doesn't mean the whole class is.

Ya, it took me a while just to tell my best best friend, that I had a crush....he is so cute....

[~Namine~]

heh yeah I only have one best friend and thats Josh and I have no problem with talking to him ^^

That's not quite the case. Teachers purposely do it in order to help with emergent self-esteem. If you can bring yourself to talk in front of others it helps you gain confidence and when you get confidence your grades improve. I hate it, but it's vital.

I never did think of it that way. Sudbury is known for its education. But, we also known for our bad teens. I always get suck into the wrost classes. Last semester, none of my friends were in my class. I felt really bad.
*note, not for young children.*

The people in my class, were the smokers (not cigs but weed and stuff), and their was also some druges too. There also was some girls that didn't like me because I'm not really into the whole make sure my hair is perfect, makeup, and clothing (lets say they had over $200 worth of clothing on them). I never got along with them. So, then my teacher kept paring them up with me. Lets just say it wasn't my best class.

But then I had other classes that went well. I did met new firends because of the teacher paring me up with them and all. But I did tell the teacher beforehand that I didn't feel comforable in front of them. So I always try to do my presenation on firday when they skip, so I wouldn't have to do it infront of them.

[AkaiYuki]

Heh, good plan, Ashlee! ((To do the presentation when they aren't there.))

I mean, I have to agree with moezy-chan on how the teachers HAVE to have you do at least a FEW things in front of the class regardless of whether the class contains your friends or not because in the real world you aren't always going to be only in front of your friends when speaking in front of a group.

But at the same time, if you're really having problems with these kids, I can understand why you'd be upset and I'm very sorry about that. A similar thing happened with me in my communication skills class in my freshman year of high school ((at least 2/3 of the class did SOME kind of drug)) but for whatever reason, I got the courage to not only do my presentation in front of them, but I did it on drug use amongst teenagers!! XD

I was scared some of them were going to beat me up after school, but instead some of them started crying! O.O It was the strangest experience of my life.... o.o

[Shiunu]

Omg! I'm missed so much here guys! *hugz* Sorry I've been gone for a while. So if I seem a little lost, that's why.

[moezychan]

Ah Shiunu-chan! Okaeri! Where have you been?! As for being lost, in this case it's a good thing. Things went a little crazy in here for a while. 

[Hikari B.]

Luckily you weren't here in the scene of the crime. ^_^ Welcome back! Where were you anyway?

[~Namine~]

I love this thread and welcome back!!! <3

I usually just lurk, but I want to say something.
That's really cool that you could give that presentation in front of those people. Sometimes I get so nervous around big groups, I have trouble talking.
In high School, my teachers always wanted me to talk more so they would put me with the loud kids (In other words, the kids who dealt drugs in the back of the room). This expreience didn't turn me into a louder person. If anything, I learned how to keep my mouth shut. I'm quiet and I do well in college now. I speak more than I did in high school, but that's not because anything a teacher did for me. As I'm going out into the real world I'm teaching myself how to act.
I think teachers are too pushy sometimes. I think I needed to be left alone, so that I could figure things out in my own time. Not Shoved into some loud druggie group. Anyway, I'm done ranting now.... or not.
BTW, I think Interviews are bad too, but I am getting used to them. I just had an interview for an internship at this little Anime company and I had a blast. I don't know if I'll get the internship though.
 Please cross your fingers for me everyone.

I hate druggie kids, we have alot of stoners in my school and they always make fun of me becasue I look asian (im not though) they look at me weird and even act like im stupd and just the other day I had a huge rock thrown at me buy one of them when Ignored him for calling me a "ching chong china man *some other stupid rhyme*", the rock hit me on the side of the nose, it didnt break but it was bleeding for nearly 4 hours. and of course they didnt get in trouble I did for "provoking them"...geeze talk about racist.
