My boyfriend cant speak in front of people….?

Okay, my boyfriend and I are seniors in highschool this coming school year. We both planned to go to college, not even the same one particularly, but planned to further our education. He would be the first in his whole family to finish college and the second to finish highschool. It will be the same for me but I always planned to go. Well now he learned that he has to take speech in college, and in highschool speech it was so easy and lame…he passed that but it was with a d- (his first bad grade) he know college speech will be harder, so he said recently well Im not going. I think thats silly, when hes wanted this so bad. What do I do to help him keep being positive about his dreams, and let him know its now so bad? Also, is it really bad in college I need honest people who have been.

First of all, ignore Gerald’s comment.

I used to be really afraid of speaking in front of people, too. I ended up taking a speech class in college (can’t remember what prompted me to do that), and while it was challenging, it gave me a lot of confidence and I wasn’t so afraid of speaking after that.

Keep in mind that his college classmates will be encouraging him, and many of them will be feeling the same sort of nervousness. He will have plenty of support. There will always be things in life you’re uncomfortable doing, and sometimes the best way to get past that is to force yourself do to what you really don’t want to… and you generally find it wasn’t as bad after all.

Best of luck to you both. I really hope you both are able to further your education… it’s SO important!

Everyone is afraid of something, but tell him he can’t let fear control his entire life. Instead he needs to work on it. I think he needs to look into joining toastmasters, they are an organization that helps people learn to speak in front of large groups.

I’d say stay home and work at Burger King they need you more than the Krummy college that wants to make you talk.. Thank God your going away from this looser. College is so tough that people from foreign countries that can hardly speak english—GRADUATE..

tell him it doesnt need to be a long speech and you probably arent going to see most of the people the rest of your life…. and tell him if he doesnt go, then he will be letting his family and you down, but most importantly, he will be letting himself down.
