^Felt the exact same way in the beginning, I refused to do a performance at school last year because I just didn't feel like dealing with all their bullshit and comments. But this year, I felt much more confident and people kept asking me to do it so I just signed up for it. Had major stage fright at first cause all these people from school, teachers and everything were sitting there so I had to do it good.
Now they respect what I do and who I am but trust me, it's not easy being a white female

So yeah, was definately scared but overcame that...
