Hello, im currently 16 years old and iv'e had this problems since i moved into secondary school. When i was little i used to be very confident not afraid of anything but now i think i some sort of nervous problem. When i am in school and i get asked a question or someone shouts my name my face goes bright red and my palms get all sweaty and i start to panic. This has basically took over my life and i'm getting to the stage where i wake up and i go '' where's the point? ''  What should i do?

Social anxiety can creep up on anybody, in my opinion, so don't get down on yourself about it.  There are many things you can do like Mammo has said.  Have you ever considered counseling or maybe even groups that help with public speaking?  Many people are uncomfortable in some social settings, but you can definitely confront your fear...keep us posted!

You need to speak to your parents about his so that you can get help.  Also, try talking to your school counselor.  What started out a nervousness sounds like it's turned into a lot of anxiety.  Just tell your parents what you've told us, they love you and don't want to see you feeling this way.
