Does this happen only when you are around the people at school, or in any social situation? Do you feel sick in crowded stores, or at family gatherings?

If you do, then you are likely dealing with social anxiety. The way to deal with it really depends on the cause. Is there a school counselor you can talk to? Since this happens at school, that would be a good choice of person to start with to find out what you need to do to handle it.

If it is only at school, and not in other social situations, it is possible it is just the particular people giving you anxiety. Perhaps just surrounding yourself with people you feel good around will help.

Do you have any other trouble in school, like poor grades or difficulty in any of the subjects? If you do, that could be a cause for your anxiety. Again, a school counselor can possibly help you.

You should also let your parents know about your anxiety. Don't just say that you feel sick when you go to school. Parents will inevitably think it is that you don't like the work at school and that won't help at all (I am saying this as a parent). Sit down with them and tell them what you told us. This is important since the anxiety can affect your school performance. If your parents know ahead of time what is going on, it will be a lot easier for them to handle. They could also take you to your doctor who can give you more information on anxiety and give you more options on ways to handle it.

I know it is hard to talk to others about it. I suffer from depression. You don't want to feel like you need therapy, and you probably don't want your friends and family to know how you feel because they may think you are crazy. They won't though. They will be able to help you to find the best way handle this.

If you get sick to your stomach every time you deal with people, you probably dont like the people around you. Maybe you should try hanging around with some other friends and see if you like that better. Another thing to remember is just to think positively about people, instead of negatively and remember that everyone has flaws. You probabl just need some better people to hang around with ...thats what i would suggest. Just put yourself out there. i hope i helped.
