As far as discomfort with public speaking goes, remember you're very brave. It takes a lot of courage to speak in public and I'm glad you're willing to address this issue. You're sense of self-worth and confidence will come from what you think of yourself and not what others think of you. So, be positive and focus on doing your best. You might also want to consider surrounding yourself with friends who will encourage you and motivate you to make the right choices, instead of focusing on people who try to bring you down.
