How To Help Your Child Deal With Social Anxiety
Talk to the child's teacher to find out what difficulties your child is having because an unusually shy or withdrawn child will be noticed by the teacher. In fact, your child is probably the "good" child who never speaks up, acts up or misbehaves. If your child is still in elementary school, let the teacher know about your concerns that your child may suffer from social anxiety. Ask the teacher to work with you to help your child by assigning them tasks to help the teacher. The socially anxious child wants to communicate and relate to the teacher and be part of the group, but doesn't know how.
Talk to the school counselor to find out if the school has programs or resources for testing children with mental health issues or can refer you to any resources for testing and/or treatment. (So many kids are referred for ADD testing that schools may very well have the resources to test for social anxiety).
Research on the web for local resources for treatment. Look for a therapist or psychiatrist who specializes in treating social anxiety in children. You also want a specialist in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with treatment in a combination of individually and group therapy with children close to the age of your child. CBT is short term therapy which usually lasts a set number of weeks and is more likely to be covered by your health insurance.
From your research, make a list of questions so that you can interview the therapist. You will want to know the cost, if medication may be included, how the therapy is handled, if group therapy is included, success rate, etc. This is critical because you and your child will be spending a lot of time in treatment and you don't want it to be wasted.
Search your local and community newspapers and magazines to see if there are any ads for social anxiety treatment trials or experiments for children. Call the psychiatric department of your local universities, NIH or hospitals to see if they are conducting any free trials for cognitive behavioral therapy in children of your child's age.
You may not find a cure for your child's social anxiety because treatment will help in varying degrees. Nonetheless, your child will know that you recognize the agony they're in and take some solace in finding out that he or she is not alone with this problem and is really perfectly normal. The fact that there is a name for what your child is experiencing and that they can discuss possible treatment and ways to cope will help your child not feel so alone.

I'm considering not going to school at all! BUT i really really want to try get over this stupid anxiety problem!
What should i do about tomorrow? I dont know how to relax with things like these...
I feel ya. The nervousness shaking after a while and the feeling of wanting to run out of a situation. here are a few anxiety helpers that have worked for me...
Breathe. Be still put your hand on your chest and allowing yourself to calm. don't breathe through your chest, but your diaphragm( stomach) sit still and feel the movement and it will calm you down.
If you don't have a nut allergy, eat some sunflower seeds before bed. it contains magnesium and anxiety reduces magnesium in your body that make you want to run out. eat some a few hours before you have to be around people and it may help and it's natural, not a drug.
I don't know your age, but talk to your parents about it. They may understand and can help.
