1. See a psychiatrist. You need to better control your anxiety, or it's going to become more annoying the older you get; and once you're an adult, no one will have as much sympathy for you as they did when you were younger (except your mom).
2. Drivers Education in high school is bullshit. In my experience, it was just Scared Straight: Driving Edition, which were filled with various car crashing videos. So don't feel bad skipping that class.
3. Do your research, and get a good driving instructor. It will cost quite a bit of money, but you'll learn. When you meet your instructor, let him/her know you have terrible anxiety and haven't gotten a control on it yet, so he/she is aware. Also, no worries about crashing, driving instructors have a 2nd wheel and peddles on the passenger side, so if you do freak out and about to hit a wall or something, they can break for you. Totally safe.
IIN I think I'm more scared of driver's ed than driving itself?
