Hi, whatsthepoint. Thanks for sharing. You are certainly sounding overwhelmed. What kind of school are you in? I can't tell if it's high school or college. At any rate, I'd definitely head over to a school counselor and share your concerns. You might even consider sharing with your teacher about your fear of public speaking. It's actually a pretty common fear. The teacher might be even more understanding than you think. If need be, then write out your explanation of your drawing and then just read it off. You don't have to look at the people. I don't gather that you're getting graded on how great a public speaker you are...Okay? You sound like a smart person, so please don't give up so easily.
