I Am Shy

Too Quiet... So I know I am a teenager but I have been shy ever since I was 3 years old. It all started at the playground. I tried talking to a person but I couldn't so I stayed very close to my parents. So now 10 years later I am still shy. I can't even talk to my best friend. I am painfully shy. I am in alot of activities with a lot of people in them. When I am in groups I don't talk alot. But when I do people always tell me to speak up. Some people even laugh at me because I am shy and when people ask me to speak up I usually laugh because I don't want them to know that it gets to me but it does. This guy one day tried to get me to yell but I just stared at him. I usually get in trouble at school because when we do presentations in front of the whole class when I take one look at everybody I always freeze up. My friends at my programs all know that because whenever I say something to them I usually have to come closer or speak up. It's mostly coming closer because I hate to yell. Most people can't except me for who i am and that just makes me so upset. At lunch time I also sit alone. My friends have tried to help me but I just can't seem to say it louder. Is anybody else out there who is like I am? I just need support.💔
