Being constantly camped in jungle

I have been having a ton of trouble in high bronze/silver games with enemy jungler's (usually shyvana's) that camp my lane early if I am playing a champion with a less than decent early game such as a rammus. This sets me super far behind all the way to the point where the mid laner is level 8 and I am level 4. This seems to happen quite often, warding has been always a big thing coming in my head on how to respond with this. However, my laner's don't seem to care or when they do it seems the communication isn't there between teammates and the enemy team always come out on top because I can't do anything during fights. If I build armour early game the enemy team melts me with magic damage and I become behind even further. Much needed help for how to solve these problems!

Sounds like a smart opposing Jungler to me. Sure, it sucks, and probably not what you're looking to read. But realistically can't blame them.

probably should try warding your jungle

Ward, buy pinks, convince laners to ward. If they start begging for ganks, tell them that you won't gank if you don't have vision of the area. Try not to be too aggressive with that, but do remind them that technically ganking and sharing buffs is not a requirement for all junglers.
Gank more. If you can't farm, gank. Even if you become a glorified meat shield, you might rack up some assists.
On successful ganks, soak up some xp. Don't even tax if you do'nt need to, just being there will help you net xp as they kill minions. I do it as a roaming support all the time.
Cry. Completely optional. I do it often.
Convince the support to help you. They know how it feels too.

Pick a low skillcap OP champion like Udyr. When Shyvana comes for you, stun her and run away. Shyvana is also a low skillcap OP champion (currently the top tier jungler) so you need to pick something that can hang.

You are using ramus as an example of not clearing well, when he is a ganking jungler. Sounds like you need to learn how to optimize and take new jungle paths.

Hell i put counter pressure with Voli pre 3 on the enemy jungler. It is all about knowing your champ and finding ways to exploit others weakness. if you can do it with X champ, do not bother taking them into rank.
