I have fear of Balls.

Hi My name is Annika. I'm 14 years old and I realized that I have a fear of Balls. Cause in our school, I don't play sports like badminton, volleyball, table tennis. Because I feel that If I do, It will hit me on my face and on my body.

My friends sometimes teases me. But I just ignore them, and secretly, it hurts me alot. I don't know how to overcome my fears on balls.

Even my teacher in PE gave me a low grade in our practical exam. I can't play volleyball and I can't tell her that. Cause I'm afraid that she won't believe. I can't even tell my mom this situation, because she might think that I'm not saying the truth.

Is it normal? Please help me. Thanks in advance.
