Singing lessons in Sydney?

I hate singing lessons, please help!?

• I'm 13 and I've always loved singing even though I really hate singing in front of people (last time I was in a talent show at a pgl in summer and I thought I was going to pass out, be sick or my heart was going to leap out of my chest) and people have told me I have a nice voice. Sorry if I play my self down quite alot I try to be as modest. :) Uhh so yeah I hate my singing lessons that I've been doing for a year and a bit for a couple of reasons but I'll explain now: 1) My singing lessons are basically me and 3 other girls from my year, 2 of the girls I don't have a problem with but the other girl let's call her... Chloe, has made fun of me in the past or so I've been told (kind of complicated but I have sight problems that she hasn't exactly been very understanding about) and all 3 of them are popular and very good singers. I record my self singing at home sometimes and I listen to my singing compared to their's in the lesson and it makes me feel like garbage, I literally burst into tears a couple of weeks ago in front of them because I was so embarrassed. 2) Sorry I know I'm going on a bit, but the thing is I just really hate being there because I just don't feel like I fit in and to make it worse because the singing lessons are free we have a deal with a school that we have to be in this rubbishy choir that I hate too. Well, we all hate it :/ Thanks if you read all that I just really need some advice though, should I quit or stay and do you have any ideas how to stop me being so nervous and embarrassed about singing? Being in the lesson just really makes me hate myself and singing in general, I seriously thought about quitting last year but I got persuaded not to by my friends but I just really need some advice. Please help!!

• Answer:

  If you don't like it, quit, and do something else.
