How Panicaway Can Help Teens Stop the Fear Of Speaking in Front of the Class
by admin ·
Talking with my boyfriend’s daughters and some of their friends, I discovered that their biggest fear was speaking in front of their classmates. Sometimes they would even accept a failing grade because their fear was so great of public speaking.. I asked each one of them why they had such intense fear that would literally stop them from doing it at all; here are some of their answers:
- I’m too shy.
- There’s a boy I like in my class and I’ll be too embarrassed.
- Forget it, I have a pimple.
- Way too many eyes are on me at once.
- What if they don’t understand what I’m saying?
- What if I don’t sound smart enough?
- I will be so nervous my voice will tremble and I’ll sound like an idiot.
- What if someone laughs at me?
- What if I don’t look pretty enough up there.
- What if my clothes aren’t nice enough.
For these teen girls these are very real, debilitating circumstances. For those who followed through they couldn’t remember a word they said. They stated they felt slightly dizzy, off balance, and very nauseous, their hearts were beating so loud that they couldn’t hear themselves think. Their bodies were also shaking uncontrollably. Find a way to fight back and win the battle over your anxiety and panic! If every situation with public speaking leaves you feeling exhausted, hopeless or discouraged it’s time to learn how to conquer anxiety and panic for good! The girls were paralyzed by feeling very anxious because their fear was so strong, they didn’t even realize they were having an anxiety attack.
These panic and anxiety attacks are keeping teen girls from believing in themselves and being the confident young ladies they were created to be. I asked the girls, “If I gave you information on how to stop this fear from being so destructive and leave you feeling more relaxed and sure of yourself, would you take it?” They exclaimed, “Yes!”
I believed if the girls got a handle on their confidence and anxiety now it would only help them in the future. Their low self esteem and anxiety will only hold them back in life and will worsen as they get older. It will help them will job interviews, university and relationships.
I introduced them to Barry Joe McDonagh’sPanic Away program and they started reading it right away. The feedback I received from the girls is that the Panic Away program was easy to understand and extremely straight forward. I knew that this is going to help the girls tremendously! I’m sure if they continue to practice Panic Away’s One Move Technique their confidence will continue to improve and their fear of getting up in front of their peers will disappear forever.
