Anxiety at school

I can’t do it anymore. I’ve got social anxiety and go to counseling at school often but it’s not working. I want to be able to talk freely without shaking and feeling as if everyone is laughing at me. I barely talk to anyone in class and I have about one solid friend that I’m comfortable around. Most the time the teachers force me to speak and present things and I hate it. It feels like I can’t breathe . Why can’t they understand? Why do they target me? Like I know they think it’s to ‘help’ me but im not ready yet. It’s even worse since it’s a new year and we have new teachers and classes. Me and my friend are separated which means im alone. I try to make friends but it’s like people look down on me. Idk anymore. I just want help. Please, someone tell me what to do. I have no confidence at all and it’s literally destroying me.

I mean it's not great at the time but your school days they ain't something that will last forever, in fact it goes very quickly really in the grand scheme of life and 99% of the people you socialise while your there you'll never see them again.

All I'm getting at here is the social rules change drastically once you leave school and I knew plenty of people who weren't very popular kids at school but their confidence grew once they'd left school and they could be more selective in who they spent their time with and what they did with their lives.

I know that does help the right here and now but stay strong and concentrate on getting the grades you might need and trust me things will honestly things get better once you leave you'll never have to go back to dealing with 30-40 random giggling school kids packed in a classroom ever again and your confidence will grow.

i had this exact problem, in class i would just get anxious out of nowhere but listen, now i see that the kids that werent nice to me had a lot off problems like me too and that was their way of venting so it wasnt my fault, when i had to present sth i saw that in some time i wasnt even gonna remember that moment and no one else either, and i thought why does it even matter? literally everything except death has a solution, and with time i stopped giving a damn and my confidence just went out naturally
Have you talked to a doctor about this? Anxiety have actual biological and physical symptoms that you can get treatment for. Therapy can help ward stuff off for many people but some people need extra help to control the symptoms.
