I'm too shy to speak up in class and it's starting to impact my grades. Any advice on how to overcome my fear? I've always been a quiet person, but now that I'm in high school, I'm realizing how important it is to speak up and participate in class. I want to do well in school, but I'm too afraid to ask questions or share my ideas. I know that practice makes perfect, but I don't want to embarrass myself in front of my classmates.

Sometimes it can be helpful to start small. Maybe try speaking up once per class, and gradually increase the number of times you participate.
I used to struggle with speaking up in class too, but I found that preparing beforehand and practicing what I wanted to say helped me feel more confident.
Speaking up in class can be intimidating, but remember that your thoughts and opinions matter. Don't be afraid to share them!
