Next year as school begins, join a club you are interested in. Yearbook, newspaper, student council, math club, science, whatever you like. This will give you a small group of potential friends with whom to find a comfort level. Once you can get rid of some of your shyness with a small group, you can begin to move on to larger groups. Read Y/A and see just how many more people are just as shy or worse off than you. This will be true in your school as well. Good Luck.
I'm 18 and I'm still shy... and I also tend to get more shy around guys! Some people are just naturally shy, or as I prefer to call it ';reserved.'; It is good that you can keep secrets! That means that you are trustworthy, one of the best qualities anyone could ever ask for in a friend! Just be yourself and smile! Smile a lot!!! That helps. People like people who smile. Be honest. Stand up for the underdogs. Be kind. Don't get into trouble (you don't want the wrong kind of friends.) Just remember that it is not the number of friends that you have that counts, but how good the friends that you do have are. One or two people who look out for you and have your best interests at heart are a whole lot better than being friends with a whole lot of people who would stab you in the back the minute they thought they would be better off for it.
You are young but no matter. All it involves is making eye contact and that self-confidence will shine through. If you find yourself keeping things to yourself, try telling your friends other things that don't involve whatever you don't want to talk about. Surround yourself with people you want to be around not just people you want to be seen with. You will do fine.
just think to yourself: theres nothing to be shy of, its not like i did anything wrong, i can be myself
