[quote=Anonymous]I told my then shy MSer DC to try out for HS debate because DC had no other e.c. DC learned that "shaking knees" is a real thing when DC tried out for debate. DC was sooo nervous. BUT, DC made it and is no longer so shy, has a core group of friends in HS. Debate really helped DC open up and gain confidence. I also do think drama would be good. I know OP said your DD said no to it, but maybe find a musical where there is some dancing? IDK... but I find shy kids can blossom on stage. It's scary, but it's really helpful for them to get over the shyness. Does the HS have a drama club? She needs to get engaged in HS. The best advice we got when my DC was going into HS was to get engaged in clubs. Hence, the Debate Team.[/quote]
