WardaNo. Going to high school is better than online school. Just talk to people. Try to not be shy. Be yourself because there is no one like you.

emraldYENoooo! You need social experience, and you will meet important people and influences at school.

emraldYEBy the way, I have social anxiety too. It's tough going to school, but you need it.

ClaudiaIts only a good option if you have things to do outside of it.. Like a club, group, class, sport, or just some great friends.. You also have to be self motivated!

Synthia DiamondI say online school... If you are prepared to work harder than public school. I did both, and the online was "harder" because you have to have a very good study habit and be able to teach yourself in a sense. You get socialization by doing sports, clubs, etc.

AceI honestly think you need to go to high school, I understand that you have Social Anxiety, but the only way to face your anxiety is to try to talk to people that support you and good influences. Ignore the bullies and just be happy. Try your hardest to be an optimistic person through out this journey cause it will help you get through the anxiety.

ABreezy, social anxiety can be overcome. I recommend working with a counselor and yes, going to regular school. Social interaction is vital to your development at your age, and it would be a shame if you didn't use this opportunity to work through your anxiety.
