<p>How do you talk during class and activities? For some reason when I go somewhere, I am completely quiet and can't talk out loud. But at home and with friends I am fine. How do I talk more and become more social.</p>
<p>At my school, we have a grading policy where at least five percent of our grades (every class) comes from discussion participation.</p>
<p>I used to be hesitant to share my thoughts in class but this policy turned every casual classroom discussion into a competitive sport. Especially at my school, we have intense competition and some classes are curved, so every point counts. </p>
<p>Just push yourself to participate more. There’s no way to overcome that without facing the challenge directly. I’ve found that being timid is not rewarding in most situations.</p>
<p>Someone else said join the debate team. That would help. </p>
<p>Im ok with class participation, even if i say the wrong answer. But i hate reading out loud in class. And i really really hate talking to the whole class like for a speech.</p>
