The class is supposed to do this thing where you put together a cologe(sp?), time line, or bag of things ;P, for a presentation where you tell the class about yourself. I don't wanna tell the class about myself. D: The teacher said you either do the presentation and get an A, or don't and get an F. I don't know how to tell her I don't wanna do it, 'cause she will most likley ask why, and I can't just go up to her and say "I wanna take the F." D: I just.. can't. D: ...Do you think if I just keep saying "I forgot" she'll eventually catch on? xD I dunno what to do. D:

Bump D:

I will keep bumping this 'till somebody replys D:

My elementary school teachers used to always make us do that -.- I guess you should do it. You could always do what I did: Mumble quickly and quietly, and then sit back down at your seat ;D

---

Thats what I was gonna do, but she said we have to let the whole class see the pictures, and ect... and... i'm not doing it. o.o Some guys didn't do a book report, and they ended up getting F's... She just got less and less interested in them finishing it, then quit extending the date, and they got F's ;D Sorry, I'm going on like an idiot over here xD

xD I always hated doing those things. In fifth grade, my teacher made us bring in a bag full of stuff that described us and we had to get up in front of the class and tell them all about how the item decribed us D:

---

D: I would DIE if I had to do that Dx I remember doing on of these things in the 4th grade.. I actually looked forward to that one, crazy, right? xD But that was what we were itnerested in at that time, and this is on 'our history' or whatever. D:

Nuuuuuuugghhhhh D; D;

Is it because you dont want to talk or is it because you dont want to tell the class about yourself? If it is the first one then face your fear. It wont be as bad as you think and the more you do it the easier it will get. I promise. If its the second one, bend the truth a lot. Or, focus on a couple of things that you dont mind sharing. Even the person who has lived an awful life can find okay things about their life. For example, someone who was in foster care may not want to say what there situation is, so they could just say 'my mum and dad are...'. They can leave out the finer detail that it isnt their real mum and dad. Just like someone with divorced parents wouldnt have to say there parents dont live together, they can just leave that fact out. Mention some of your favourite things. If you dont want to mention your real favourite things (like I dont go shouting about the fact that I write) then just mention things you like, or make it up. 'My favourite animal is a dolphin' etc. It would be quite easy to get hold of a picture of a dolphin. Pick a situation/ event/ or day out that you could talk about. You must be able to find something - even if its like a birthday party from when you were four. Talk about that. The beauty of talking about yourself is there is so much about you. Even if you get up and talk about your apperence. 'My name is...., im .... years old, i have brown hair and brown eyes' you are still doing what you are being asked and wont get an F. There are ways around doing things we dont want to. If you need some more help drop me a message

This is what I do all the time... I just shout/talk very loud, so they all have to cover their ears. ;D
