I can't take advantages, and I've tried roaming, but then it always turns unsuccessful. I buy wards, and I stop dying, but then my enemy mid laner will roam and just get kills. It's borderline impossible for me to do anything once I get camped. So what do I do? I obviously try to farm up in that situation, but when my mid just roams and get kills it puts even more pressure on me. Is their anything I can do?

If you're getting camped by the jungler or roaming mid, that means there is less pressure elsewhere. Just invest in wards and be ready to escape ganks from any direction and tell the other lanes to push hard for objectives; while you may be unable to get anything done, your team can use it as an advantage. It's ok if you fall behind in farm if the camper does too.

Figure out the lane the enemy mid likes to gank the most. It's usually bot lane, and if you're blue side they'll either go through river, around the back of the dragon pit and through the tri bush, or try to clean up between the two turrets in the krug bush. Set up wards and follow them for a counter roam (??). If you're red side they'll have to go through river or between the two turrets for clean up.
Figure out how they like to gank. Around dragon pit? Stand in river bush and wait for engage? Go all in once they get there? Ward accordingly. Set up a pink so you don't have to keep warding and use gold. If the mid laner chooses to take the pink before ganking, alert your bot lane (especially if they have tunnel vision) and deny a gank.
Don't walk blindly into the jungle when following a counter roam. The jungler might be present or the mid laner has picked up on you following them and might wait for you in the bush to land a combo. Players will usually BM (spam emotes) to bait you into their team. Don't take the bait.
Ping. I ping the moment the enemy mid laner goes out of sight, especially if its a kat, zed, lb, etc that need kills to snowball.
Fake roam. Get out of sight of the enemy mid laner and wait for them to assume you went to roam to farm efficiently.
Figure out their preferred combos and position yourself accordingly. Playing against a lb who usually Q's first before using W? Have a Viktor who uses Q and trudges through a wave to land harass? Punish them for it.
Learn the strengths and weaknesses of the champion while in select/loading screen. Changes to lb's W makes it a dash not a blink. That means if I'm playing Ahri I can charm her mid W and flash/ult away before she gets a kill.
Set up ganks for your jungler. Both you and the enemy might be below half health and looking for openings to get a kill. Ping your jungler to go ahead and come and gank. Be wary of what summoner spells (flash, ignite, barrier) and ults the enemy has used for an easier set up. Anivia already used her passive and flash and is just running in circles mid trying to land a Q? Ping your jungler. Top lane too. edit
Pressure your lane. If the enemy already has low cs or is a mage and goes to roam and overstays, push as hard and fast as you can for a free turret or damage for later when everyone piles mid for a team fight.

i have this problem too. I get camped. And with certain matches it becomes impossible to do anything, especially if I'm a champ thats bad at farming under tower or has bad wave clear, i will fall behind in cs or lose tower. Then ill be behind and unable to do anything and my team will tell me I'm bad, even if i didn't give them kills. I'll be useless. If i played a tank ill be too squishy, and if I'm a carry i won't be doing enough damage to be relevant. And because I'm in bronze while I was being camped my team does nothing, accomplishes nothing, and helps in no way.
