Answer :

answer:I can remember various times when I was 11 or twelve. I had a sixth grade teacher that had us practice extemporaneous speech. We would have to stand before the class and speak on something for 3 minutes. And again, in my freshman year of high school, a teacher had us write a letter to our selves to be mailed ten years later. That was self conscious without even being exposed.
