Is this socialphobia or what?

I've never really been the shy type of person. I was always one of the smart, confident, kids who was the kind of person who was friends with everyone, even though I wasn't popular. However when I moved to a new school around three years ago, some people said something things to me about my accent, (despite the fact that English is my mother tongue, but since I moved around a lot my accent changes according to the people I hang out with and stuff). Anyway since they sort of bullied me I lost a lot of my confidence because I never had really had had mean stuff said to me before in my life.

So recently I've started to get my confidence back however when I got picked to read out a three sentence piece of work in my English class, I literally just start to freeze up, shake, and feel like crying. I did cry but no one saw it, but it really upset me, I hate speaking up in class unless I feel comfortable enough, and I don't in a lot of my classes. Also I'm naturally quiet reserved in general and I get so scared and nervous when I have to speak. It's really only my friends and family who know I'm actually very talkative. Anyway I won't bore you with any more stories or random stuff.

But I was wondering is this a form of social phobia or something as such, because my friend has the same kind of problem and she has soicalphobia.

That's a wrap.
