In school, I always must speak in front of many people, but I always feel nervous. Although I sure that I know everything about my subject, I feel scared when I begin until end. How can I do to overcome these feelings?

Many people get nervous when they have to speak in public. A great tip to overcome your nervousness and to refine your speaking skills is to videotape your speeches and then review them for possible improvement. There's an article at http://www.SuccessfulCommunication.com that shows you how to do this.

You can pratice it at home to speak loudly in front of your mirror or when speaking in front of a crowd of people look only in one direction preferably towards your friends. This might reduce your nervosity and also avoid being nervous koz it shows a lack of confidence.

I feel the same before in high school when we were required to talk in front of a whole auditorium filled with people..hmm..you can try imagining that they're not there and talk as if you're just talking to yourself. Some suggest that you imagine everyone naked, but that doesn't seem right, actually perverted for others.
Seriously, just take in deep breaths and talk! it doesn't really matter how they react, but how you deliver your point.
