I am very shy and I need to build my confidence. As I am only a nearly 15 year old boy I would prefer someone of roughly my own age to offer advice on how I can improve.

I haven't got much confidence either hun, go out meet new people, it helps, but do not let on that you don't have much confidence this is where you can learn from my mistakes, i can be a very trusting person and everyone know about my lack of confidence.
I have a 'friend' who thinks she can push me about mentally because she knows i won't fight back, she will push at arguments and things, this was my mistakes please do not do it. you are only 15 and have a lot to learn, i know it sounds really daft but if there is a teacher or relative that you can talk to do it. If you wanna talk to a complete stranger I'm here my e-mail is andrea292004@yahoo.com.
Don't let people push you about do some karate or something to build up you confidence and it also shows you that if needs be you can look after your self.

Your teens will not last forever, who know's when this whole thing is going to be over?! Lack of confidence is usually caused by lack of knowing yourself which is totally normal for someone your age.
How about you start knowing "you" better. The best way to do that is simply by trying things ... if you read about a concert in the papers (even if it's an old bunch of folks) hell yeah why not? Try some extremes like camping & hiking ... try whatever activity you can .... and by the end of each you'll know a little bit more about yourself and you'll stop fearing that sould you're carrying around.

My daughter is 15, so I know what shy is. Try joining clubs at school, or get involved in programs during the summer. Also, most churches have youth groups that do many things with many age groups. I've not seen too many youth group kids that turn out shy! I was in many when I was younger and we had a blast! There are girls in them, too, and everybody treats everybody with respect. It's a good way to meet nice girls that like you for you!

To build confidence, you need to start with your self esteem. Start working out, get a new hair cut, new clothes...when you feel comfortable with your appearance you can potentially build confidence and maybe lose some of your shyness. Try making new friends that you thought you never would of before. Ask a girl out on a date. Good luck!!

I may be older than you but I was very shy at your age. Some girls like boys like you and as you seem to be able to write intelligibly I suggest you start by getting to know some of the teenagers that ask messages here as some of them allow you to write to them.
If they reply you will be able to use your natural skills and words to practise being more confident.

start by setting yourself targets like: making more friends etc... then wen u ovacum them u will fell much more confident! why dont u go 2 places where ur relaxed like scate parks cinemas shopping centres etc... and that way u can make more m8's. tell yourself u don't care wot others think and say bout u but most of all be yourself and then ppl can make up their mind weather they likr u or not, then u will hav peace of mind knowing ur bein yourself. best of luck !!! p.s do things that ur good @ or find more things u can be good @ like, an instument, crafts, reading, and that way u can devlop hobbies. y don't u start going 2 clubs n stufff that will give u more confidence!!

having been a shy guy when i was younger (i'm 21 now), what i can offer you is this: be bold!
whenever you feel shy in a situation, force yourself not to be! its hard, near impossible the first few times. but after a while you find yourself speaking up more and more in conversations, and introducing yourself to more and more people. before long, it becomes natural and the shyness is gone.
best of luck to you, remember this: be yourself! we all come out of our shells at the time we're meant to, maybe it isn't your time yet!

try making new friends out of your confront zone, or if you have a friend in a different group, hang with them. you'll build your confidence and make new friends alone the way
