Dear Helen,
I'm sorry that you have so many problems. Here is my advice for you. Firstly,you say you are so shy that you don't have many friends at school. I think you should join some clubs and make new friends there. Secondly,you find math difficult and always get poor grades in the exam. You should ask the teacher or your classmates for help and do more exercises. Then you'll be good at it. Finally,you think it's not easy to talk with your parents. Why not open your heart to them and tell them how you feel?I'm sure they'll understand you better.
I hope you will feel happy again.
