How do I get rid of my lateral lisp?

I went to speech therapy in elementary school, but it did not work. I am know a sophomore in high school and i still speak terribly. My “s” sound comes out as “s”. I don’t say “th” and my tonge does not stick out. I guess my tongue isn’t centered right or something. I’m tired of being mocked and teased and i don’t see a point in life anymore, I have no friends.

The following link to a video on the sublject might help. It outlines what it takes to say an /s/ sound accurately. It is made by a Canadian Speech Pathologist. Me:)
