I have done all my assessment in Tafe for all subjects but now I have 2 oral presentations for two subjects...
I have a bad social anxiety and just feel uncomfortable.. just thinking about doing it makes me feel sick..
The first presentation was done last Tuesday and today thinking I can avoid it went to class and my friends told me that the teacher would make me do the Oral presentation and I hadn't even prepared or did any research on my topic... the problem isn't getting my hands dirty and writing up a presentation, the problem is getting in front of the class...

For someone that has done all his assessments, has a good attendants and has passed all assessments, there surely must be some kinda way to avoid doing this and just getting a zero.

Any thoughts on this? Could be different for Tafe and highschools.

try and organise with your teacher to present only to them instead of the whole class. if you really struggle this much that should be an option. you can't avoid doing an assessment simply because you don't like it though. if i was you i would write up the presentation, show it to the teacher and then try to organise an alternate option for presentation :)

You should be able to organize soothing with your teacher, maybe they'll let you do present your assessment one on one outside of class sometime, hope it goes well. Sounds like your doing well, don't let one minor bump in the road throw you off track :)
