When I first began high school, I was a young, shy 14 year old kid who thought he couldn't do anything socially, but I've always been like this since the first day of Kindergarten

First Day of School!
Is that Daniel!?
In my early elementary school days, I had no confidence in my social abilities, I would rarely speak to my peers or my teachers, and would often have to go to speech therapy in school and; out of school.

Oh no!!!
Ha Ha, Can you speak normally, your weird!!!
Combined with my shyness, I also had a speech disorder which caused me to have a weird voice, and couldn't pronouce certain words, which most to the times I was the subject of numerous teastes, and people mocking my voice which made me feel terrible and further isolated.
The worst of the teasing came when I was in 5th grade when I was bullied by a kid X, and everyday during recess, he would physical bully me by tackling me, hitting me, and leaving scratches on my neck, but I was too scared to fight back, because I didn't want to get suspended, and during that period I didn't even feel like going to school.
You ugly duckling, I hope you get surgery!!
Please Stop!!!Your hurting me!!!
But Thankfully by the time I got to middle school, my social anxiety was easing up, but I still had a long way to go to be finally free from my anxiety, as I was still too scared to make small talk with my peers, and nobody was teasing me anymore since the incident in 5th grade, as since then I hit a growth spurt, and as middle school started I was already 5'7.

I thought it was going pretty well toward the end of middle school, but my social anxiety came back with force when I started high school, there in the first years I felt like I didn't fit in and I didn't have any friends during this time, it was a pretty depressing time in my life, I had a panic attack over social situations like I did not go to Homecoming freshman year and I felt like I didn't have the courage to talk to my peers.
