Public speaking phobias

I afraid of speaking. I have this fear from my school days. During my school days my friends are very talkative and do share there things. But I silently listen to them. But I dont like my silence. I like to speak with them, but I feel I dont have any information to tell them and also sometimes when I speak because of fear I will forget things. I feel ashamed of this. In my college days, this fear seemed to be reduced in a course of time. But when everyone started mingling with each other I am not able to do that. I have this fear daily. Now somehow I am managing by reducing this fear. But age grows my responsibilities are increasing. So I need to find a solution to avoid my fear of speaking permanently.
