Practice in front of a mirror, family and friends.
Never avoid responsibility. Face it and give it your best.
Last week I have to give a 4 min talk to an audience. I was sweating and praying, I prepared, wrote it down, practiced and prayed for strength.
I made it. I believed in me 😄
"Avoid" it? Other than having a good excuse like you suffer from an anxiety disorder, I doubt very much that you can "avoid" it.
My advise .. Embrace the opportunity to learn from this experience. Speaking in front of a group is challenging for most people .. I myself (the introvert that I am) am easily freeked out with such a task .. I am not that crazy about being the Center of attention .. Unless I am speaking about something I am pationate about. I have done it..,but my task was more about directing attention towards the message, not "me". I chose my words and focused on the message.
You can't avoid it. You just have to get up there and do it. Believe me NO ONE likes doing these. Some just hide it better than others. Just practice you material and take a deep breath before going up.
FYI, don't skip your caffeine that just because you are nervous. My brother did that and was going through caffeine withdrawals while giving his presentation. At least take a sip or two.
Maybe explain to your teacher that you feel too anxious to give the presentation in front of the class, and ask whether it'd be possible to just give it in front of your teacher instead (this is what I've done in the past)
Having a fatal accident is probably the only thing that will work for you.
It's just a part of your education and life in general. Not many of us like to speak in front of groups of people. But when you're in school, you have to do your assignments which are geared to help you .. Not hurt you. We're not going to give you ways to avoid your obligations. You're not special and will have to find your way with this just like everyone else.
