I'm not sure how old you are, but if you're over 18, you might want to check out Toastmasters. Toastmasters is an organization that helps people develop better public speaking skills, and if not overcome their fear of it, at least greatly reduce that fear.

Public speaking is one of the most common fears people have, second only to death itself. You are not alone. When I was in Toastmasters, we had a member who had been terrified of public speaking when she joined, yet went on to win speech of the year for our region.

If you are under 18 they may also have a junior division in your area.

Yeah, that used to happen to me when I was a kid. Then I got over it in college. Now I am not afraid of speaking in front of huge groups. Teaching probably helped with that. Actually, there was a time when I felt more comfortable talking to a large group than an individual I didn't know.

Anyway, you should understand that you as a speaker are in a position of power, and you're not weak. If anyone heckles you, you can shut them up. If your fear continues, ask your doctor for a small dose of Inderal (propranolol). It's a beta-blocker used for high blood pressure, but in low doses it will calm the physical symptoms of anxiety and is in no way addictive. You won't sweat and shake.

Either join Toastmasters, or join a public speaking course somewhere in your area or even at the school, or the debate team in school. You can indulge yourself in a lot of other things that help you lessen the fear of speaking to a group of people.

I used to be like that but it gets better. The more you practice the better it is. Make sure to keep your hands outside of your pocket and don't stand behind a podium or behind a desk. Speak clearly, speak audibly, and speak at a normal rate (not super fast). Remember the teacher isn't going to be as hard on you as you might think, and your peers are as nervous as you are.
