Sometimes kids have a hard time performing in front of others. There could be a lot of anxiety for kids, whether they are shy or not, to get up in front of many people and do a performance. They could be worried about failing or simply too scared to even attempt it. This is what happened to Abby’s friend as their team practiced for the big cheerleading exhibition.
