Why can't I talk easily in front of my class?

Research often shows public speaking is the No. 1 fear so you're not alone. Build confidence by practise

It could be anything from stage fright, anxiety to phobias. It's always hard to avoid when you are at school which is one of the reason I feel we need to talk mrs about anxiety and depression at school, you can try getting couches to help you though it, developing ulterior egos, talking to teachers and class leaders about it or consulting a professional.

Most people have difficulty speaking in front of people especially their peers its a normal response, you simply feel that you might say something wrong and getting embarrassed.

Often some people are more nervous than others it does not mean that you lack anything you just have less confidence this can be worked on by practicing to talk to people and work with people you don't know in your class

You may be nervous and insecure. The best thing to do is to practice in advance and make yourself appear in a flatter and confident manner.

The most common cause of what you are describing, is called social anxiety. It is very common for most teens to slightly suffer from this.

Stay confident..everyone cannot have a sane answer, everyone holds different opinions and strategies in life so chill!! And say for yourself..stop caring if people like it or not..be you..you are no less than anyone

I understand perfectly what this is and what it feels like. You feel like you can't expose yourself because if you say something wrong or a little bit embarassing everyone will laugh and mock you for the rest of the semester. Being afraid of what you might say in front of others is an irrational fear, and I think it comes from being overjudgemental of ourselves. People are often not as judgemental as we are and we end up closing doors in our own faces, not realising that maybe it wouldn't even be so bad try to be comfortable in our own skin and goofyness (which by the way is totally ok). It also may be a sign of social anxiety, and ackowledging that you are in fact socially anxious might help you a lot overcoming your fears.

Talking in public is a skill. You have to do it more often and focus on your thoughts while doing it. If you can figure out the feeling behind the thoughts, then you can assure yourself.

Sometimes anxiety throws a person for a loop. This could be for something as small as raising your hand to answer a question.
