How do I get over being embaressed when asking a question?

Hi, I am in honors classes and in geometry I get really embaressed when I have to ask a question. I feel like everyones eyes are on me and I begin to panic. Then I don’t hear what the teacher says. This is the first time I have been in an honors math class and I just don’t want the other students to think I am stupid. I was transfered to the class so that puts a little more pressure on me. I just get really nervous and scared to ask questions in class and I don’t want to be. This is the only class I feel like this in. I talked to my teacher and she said its ok to ask questions and she likes it when we do. But it’s not enough for me to get over my fear.

Thanks so much!

I felt the exact same thing when I was in geometry. You have to remember this-no question is considered stupid. You’re in the class to learn and how can you do that if you don’t ask questions. The question you ask may be the one that someone else is afraid of asking themselves. Think of it as helping out everyone. You obviously are as smart as your other classmates-if you weren’t you wouldn’t have been transferred into a honors class. Keep up the good work and try to remember that you’re there to learn so how are you going to if you don’t understand what you’re learning. Hope this helps.

My adivce to you is to just keep on asking. First, other students probably are wondering the same thing. If they are not, then they still benefit from the teacher answering your question. Second, other kids might be in your shoes as far as getting embarassed. If you ask a lot of questions I bet that a lot of other students will begin to ask more questions. Third, if the teacher sees that you are paying attention and working through the material, s/he may be inclined to give you a better grade for putting in so much effort.

I’m sure there are at least a handful of other students with the same question but are also afraid to ask. You are doing everyone a favor by doing the asking and they’re all probably looking at you in gratitude.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions sometimes people have the same question but don’t answer. If your in a smart kid class then that’s great be glad. You can also get kids in the class to help you.

She already is aware of that u put on thongs considering that she has to scrub them. so simply say to her that u quite like them and u want a few extra cuz one pair is not adequate. she will have to be alrite with that. If she does not purchase u a different pair then simply inform her that those she is aware of u received have ripped and u needed to throw them away!!
