How do i stop being socially awkward and scared all the time? I'm terrified of meeting new people and doing new things. I know if i stay like this i will be eternally miserable.

You have to force yourself to do it. There's no other way. A job or hanging out in a card shop is a good place to start.

A store that sells tabletop games. The universally also have tables set up for Magic, D&D, 40K, etc. The typical crowd is questionable but not intimidating.

If you're too young to work you're too young to post.
This is probably going to sound really stupid given your situation, but as someone who suffers from social anxiety/social awkwardness I find actually being exposed to things that cause me to have social anxiety or social awkwardness help me overcome it. Since you're still in school, try to take any opportunity you can to try new things or meet new people. I know it may seem nearly impossible but believe me, as soon as I dropped out of school my social awkwardness got so much worse because I wasn't forced to have that communication everyday.
I also found that medications for anxiety problems help a lot if you're willing to take that path.
