please help, this fear is very embarassing and my feiends make fun of me for it

What specifically about the fear do you not like? Is it a fear of falling, do you get dizzy when you're high up? Is it based on a bad memory of heights?
-
why would your friends make fun of you being a afraid of heights? It's a perfectly reasonable fear to have.
-
it is a fear of falling, i want to get that over that, but i never have been able to. anytime i get high up i get dizzy and queasy
-
i need to get over the fear

I think exposure therapy is the best way to deal with fear like that.
If possible I'd start with a pool. Go off diving boards and make the jump higher and higher until you no longer associate falling with fear but with fun. Slowly push your limits in a safe and controlled environment.
Also it's a really rude thing to make fun of people for their fears. They need to not do that because a fear of heights is totally rational -
I agree with mint,exposure and facing ur fears is the best way to overcome ur demons I feel. It's very scary at first but the more u do it the easier it should be on u then. Remember ur stronger than u think. Good luck.
