I don’t know if any of you find this or if it’s just cause our boy population at school are predominantly like this, but when presenting presentations they either laugh, whisper and just want you to feel uncomfortable. I don’t know if girls do this or not but throughout my years of being at school it is like the normal boy thing.
Me and my group were presenting today and this happened. (We are in 6th Form).
One of the boys sitting behind me was like I don’t understand why people don’t want to speak at the front of the class. It’s just stupid. What’s everyone’s problem? And in my head I was like you don’t experinace the nerves of presenting and want to not do it because when he presents no one laughs, whispers or make him and the other boy in my class uncomfortable. Like I wouldn’t ever think about doing something like that. I don’t think, or at least I hope they don’t, know that what they are doing is actually affecting us presenting or even participating in class. Because if they knew what they were doing and it’s on purpose that just makes it even worse.
It just adds a problem to people who already aren’t confident and don’t like talking in front of a class. Another worry or anxiety.
