I was terribly shy when I was younger. All my family tried that 'Speak up - no one is going to bite you!' stuff, so I am sure you have heard all that. What finally worked for me was: when I was in a new situation with people that didn't already know me (like camp), I kind of decided to be like an actor in a movie. If I wasn't really 'me', I wasn't as scared to speak up. I don't mean lie or anything! Just be like people in movies, walk right in 'the scene' & start talking to others like it is the most natural thing in the world. And my parents were wrong - some people do bite, at least verbally. The best thing to do is ignore those types when they say mean stuff & definately don't let them see if they upset you. After a while, they will give up & faster if you do that. If not, just talk to someone else! Even when I made new friends like that, they always said I was the weird girl who read all the time & liked things others didn't - but that became my signature thing. I let them know I was proud to be 'weird' in their eyes, and they accepted that soon, too. It was kind of fun!

Okay, I admit I am NOT the best at giving advice, but I used to be shy too and I want to help you. What I did to get over my shyness was remember that in reaching out to people I could be making a new best friend. So I would push myself to make people feel good around me. I'm honestly not sure if this would work for you, but I hope it does. I would smile at people and be very friendly to everyone I'd meet even if I did feel a little uneasy. When I started middle school (I'm going to high school this year), I'd join in a lot of after school activities to help me settle into the atmosphere faster. I'm sorry, if I'm of no help, but I really did try. I know how it feels to be lonely and I don't like to see other people suffer what I had to go through. If you'd like to chat contact me at spchic91@sbcglobal.net, ok?

dont worry or put burden on ur mind. be free, remember the person who is shy can never be succesful in life. if u dont know any thing learn from people. dress properly, keep ur self neat and clean.
