Am I Nearsighted?
I can't read far away such as if I'm in the back of a room in a classroom, I can't read the chalk board. I can define the color, but not the words. I can also see shapes at a distance, but not words. I sometimes have a hard time reading street names. Also, if there is words on the television and I'm far way, I can't read the word because it's a blur. Am I nearsighted and what happens when you are?

BeautifulGirlxo is wrong about you needing reading glasses. Reading glasses are what you don't need, because you can see things up close. You'll just need to see an optometrist to get either glasses or contacts.
No worries though, I'm near sighted, and look how I turned out. :D

You might need reading glasses, go to your local eye doctor to work this out.

Yes, you are nearsighted (also known as myopia.)
(Wikipedia) Those with myopia see nearby objects clearly but distant objects appear blurred. With myopia, the eyeball is too long, or the cornea is too steep, so images are focused in the vitreous inside the eye rather than on the retina at the back of the eye.
-Don't worry! You're not going to be blind. This is common in a lot of people. You should go get your eyes checked, and then the optometrist will prescibe glasses/contacts for you (whichever you prefer!) Your vision will be better and you will not have trouble seeing objects in distances anymore.
