My friends don't know this. i have social phobia. i don't want to go back to school. i need help. please!

next year is my last year because im going to be an 8th grader. im nervous because i think i have a social phobia. i cant handle my self when im sitting down, i start getting uncomfterbol, my classmates seem to stare at me, and whenever im presenting i get panic attacks, and i cant control them. im very popular in my classroom, and im very rich, but i have heart and care for everyone and my friends dont believe im shy, and they just dont know what im going through. i go to a catholic school, and next year i have to go to an all girls high school, but my problem is girls can be reall *** hole bi.t.ches, and how will i control my fear? some person will just stare at me in public, and i guess i dont have the confidence, unless im with my friends. i feel really bad about this. i dont want to go to therapy, or doctor, i went already, they said im fine....please help me :[ plus everyone seems to stare like im gona break or something :[ help me..

You sound pretty much like a normal teen to me! Believe me, most teens feel the same way, tho few will admit it. But you are putting your best foot foward and doing all the right stuff! Panic attacks are commom too. When you feel that wierd feeling and can't sit still, take in a deep breath, hold it, release to the slow count of four. Do it for about a minute. No one will even notice. When we get panicky, we breathe harder and get TOO much oxygen!! Wierd, huh? And the panic attack feeling makes it hard for us to be still, and wer'e sure everyone notices, but few, if any, really do. And as a teen, it is more comfortable to be relaxed with friends than alone. Youv'e addressed the feeling, now do the breathing. A panic attack just makes you feel like your'e going to go crazy...or scream..or do something nutty. You really won't.
