Being a teenager can be prity rough!
I developed social phobia in my teenage years and it is very unpleasant.
But you should be proud of yourself for acknowlaging that you have a problem! That can be half the battle.
It sounds like you should find a good pherapist and a good Pdoc.
Remember however bleak things seem and however hopeless you feel about your self if your commitment to dealing with your problems is strong you will be succseful!
At least be grateful you live in America (I assume) were mental health is taken seriesly, in the UK half the doctors don't think social phobia is 'real' at all.
