Teenagers all over the country are joining a movement to protest against having to stand up in front of their class to give a presentation. Why? Because public speaking can make them too ANXIOUS.
The protest started when a 15-year-old high school student posted a tweet (below) earlier this month

Her tweet got a ton of comments and retweets... some of which are supporting what she's saying.
Should schools cut out mandatory public speaking because it's bad for some kids' mental health? Maybe it's not a question of right or wrong.
I have anxiety and conversion disorder. I can tell you for a FACT that you will NEED to present in front of people in university and in the adult world. Teachers don’t do this shit to be mean; they do it because it’s a NECESSARY skill.
