Interesting! Reply to "Bob the carrot"
Bob the carrot????!!!! I didn’t know even boys and carrots or both mixed together liked DG! Is it that popular?!
Nothing bad...
When I’m afraid I just think nothing bad could happen to me. Like when I am going to vault, I think okay, I can do this. Vault is completly safe. So I kinda just tlk myself out of the fear, by saying that nothing could possibly go wrong.

HELP!
Dear DG Girls, When I’m nervous or arfaid, I get really hot, but thankfully, it doesn’t show, because I have a lot of freckles and dark skin, but the worst is the shakiness in my stomach. It feels like I’m going to throw up my lunch. I try to take deep breaths, and tell myself that I can sing or dance or whatever I’m doing, but I can’t do it! And this year’s Christmas Play is coming up, and I have a solo in “My Marvelous Magical Sleigh”, [I know, tacky, plus, on one of the other songs, the line is, “and my heart began to palpitate!” GROSS!] and I know I’m going to go through this again! How do I deal? -Nobodie
HELP!
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NOW I TAKE REAL DEEP BREATHS OR THINK ABOUT A HAPPY MEMORY.
OMG... Help!!!
When I’ nervous, my teeth chatter, by legs and arms jiggle, and I’m really afraid.
Stage Fright
When I was really nervous before the school play last year I did two things:
1) I told myself, I know I’m good enough to do this because they wouldn’t give me a big part if I wasn’t good!
2) My best friend and I did a little good luck thing we have (we borrowed it from a Star Wars book, actually, LOL) I say, “Good luck!” She says, “We don’t need luck.” I say, “Everyone needs luck!” Then she says, “Not us!”
So my advice is, find someone to go through it with you, someone else with a big part or whatever, and right before you start the show, tell each other Good Luck. Then when you are waiting to go on for your part, just say, “I can do this!” and then practice singing the song. And while you’re singing, just think about the song, not the audience or your parents or Whatever. That always works to get me through.
Hope this helps! ~Bee~ o(l l l)-
It's never happened to me
I’ve actually never had stage fright. I’m a natural at theater and singing and dancing and everything that requires you being on stage. I have a suggestion for everyone who is afraid:Think about the worst thing that could happen to you. Whether it’s that you’ll faint or just forget your line or solo. After you think about all of those things, think about what the best things that could happen to you are. They could be that you get a stand-up applause or that you say your line or sing your solo perfectly and don’t miss any words at all. Then, tell yourself that even if you do mess up, you did the best that you could and there’s nothing wrong with that. I hope that this helps you. Reply to me if you have any questions.
-Theatre comes naturally to me.
TALK IT OUT!
The only time my teeth chatter is when I’m cold! I would never talk to my friends about it but my mom definitely! I would also TRY to think about something else!
What I do when I'm afraid
When I’m afraid I totally freak out. (Hardly ever) I don’t try to chattter my teeth, but it comes naturally. My heart starts to pump faster and I try to get out of there as soon as possible.
scared
when I’m afraid, I just get really scared and think of solution- but I keep it to my self- depending on what it’s on- But I also think about something else.
Calm must prevail
When i’m afraid, i do my best to keep calm, but i try not to overreact, by getting really freaked out. I walk around in circles, brainstorm, and take an action. In theatre, i do get stage fright, but when i go out into the audience, i just be myself and not care about what anyone thinks of me and act from my heart.
Lovee, rebecca
Calm must prevail
I used to have the same problem. Whenever your afraid, you think of whatever you like. Then take deep breaths. Then if you need anymore help, talk to your friends for help

Chill Out!!!
The only way 2 get through a fear is 2 not think about it. focus ur mind on something ( or some1) else. think about that cutie uve been crushing on the whole semester… if ur relly scared, u should talk 2 ur mom or councelor after all, theyre there 2 help.
LoL
My friend and I were reading scary stories and we got freaked out. We heard this noise, looked at each other, and screamed and ran out the door. We are so alike! lOL
Court P.S~ It was her mom in the kitchen!
What i do is.....
Think about it!
Think about something else!
Whenever I’m afraid or nervous I just try to think of somethink good that will happen to me soon! Like going to the mall or something.
