Well you should just talk to your teacher and tell her that your nervous and I don't feel like talking right now and the teacher will understand everything.Go ahead.Or if that doesn't work try talking more and then you will start getting used to it that you will never be shy again.Trust me I been through this before my friend got me not shy anymore.Try it you will see that it works

Well if you have a question, try writing it down on a piece of paper, then after class reading them off to her.
If she asks you to answer a question, then do so, if you began to get nervous take a deep breath and count backwards from 5 also try talking to your moms friends or something to get used to it.
Ask your friends to play "School" they are the teacher and your the student, try having them ask you questions and you answer them.
Imagine your the only one in the class and See More▼ its just you and the teacher it could help you focus more on your conversation with the teacher and not everybody else.
Also try to write down what you are nervous about when holding a conversation, then talk it out with your parents.
Try going to the park, when an adult walks past talk to them, hold a conversation about anything you want: weather, school, animals, your favorite things. Try to score for a full minute long conversation with a person, this will get you off your nervous skit for holding conversation.

This is just what I suggest. I think it's a problem with your teacher and parents. When I was younger and was too shy to speak to anyone, my teacher tried to best to get to know and befriend me and my parents just encouraged me to make a friend. Today, despite the fact that I still only know the names of about five of my classmates, including my brother and cousin, I have a few amazing friends from my old school and I speak up when spoken to. I suggest being persistant when See More▼ asking for compromise. It will be a long and thorny path to get over your shyness, but take it a step at a time. You and your parents can set small goals for yourselves (e.g. you can try to make yourself heard once or twice a day and they can just listen and learn about you a few times a day to start with.) MOST IMPORTANT: DON'T THINK THAT IT'S HOPELESS!!!!
