Why am I taking a speech class?

I'm in high school. I've been taking this class all year and I still see no point in taking it. I will never give any speeches in my life. Why am I taking a class for it? I still have social anxiety. My speeches never improve. This is useless. I don't learn anything in this class.

    A speech class will force you to go in front of an audience even if you have social anxiety. I had major social anxiety when I was in high school, but I took this class where I had to speak in front of my peers each week and it seemed to help me improve. Don't think of the class negatively, challenge yourself to do better. Don't over think things while in high school either. Unless you're worried about your GPA and getting into a competitive university, then just relax with high school don't stress yourself over the classes. Best of luck!

    i have the same problem I have to take speech class also and I hate being in front of people! As much as we both hate the class we have to make the most of it! It will help you with presentations in classes. And projects. Good Luck!
