Tell them, that out of your love for them, you feel, for their sakes, you must tell them how you feel about what they are doing. If they're REALly your friends, they will respect your honesty with them. Tell them you love them; but, hate what they're doing. (Love the sinner, hate the sin.)
The way to overcome your shyness is to discover who you really are. You are made in the spiritual (not physical) image of God. That means whatever power He has, you have access to it. How can you be shy when you have access to the power of God!?!
Pray to God to give you the strength to set an example to them of how to be an excellent human being; they will appreciate that example, and will want to follow it.
Every soul has the capacity to recognize truth. Their soul will recognize that what you tell them is true (if they do not already know it).
God must be your BEST friend. Human beings are only that--human. They'll disappoint. But God NEver disappoints. If you will go with God, your friends will go with you, IF they're good for you. If not, you're better off with friends who will join you in a healthy lifestyle.
You are in my prayers. I can tell you are a wonderful person. Don't throw yourself away on "friends" you don't deserve. If they can't see the truth of what you tell them, leave them to God and pray for them. They may see the light and return to your friendship.
Don't be afraid to be the standard bearer amongst your friends. You may be a natural leader! Just find out how God wants you to be, do your best to be it, and you will become a light leading your friends out of the darkness of their own unhealthy desires.
With this new power (God's power), your shyness will disappear, because you will KNOW beyond DOUBT, that you are walking in the will of God.

If you are a real friend to them then you will overcome your shyness and tell them what they need to know.
Seems your personal discomfort and awkwardness is more important to you than their well being. Just imagine the cost, they will have to pay for your unwillingness to let go of your shyness
Though I wonder, is it shyness or simply an unwillingness to put yourself in an uncomfortable position?

It is always tough to advice a group, let us say like your friend. Individually it is much easier to communicate with them. It will be better to meet one of your friends whom you think will listen to you the most and tell him/her the issue first and then use his/her support to influence others. I warn you that this could be either damaging to your so called 'friendship' or it will increase the understanding between you and your friends. It is a risk you should take my friend. If it doesn't work out, remember they are not your true friends.

Tell them point blank that you don't like what they are doing. And for goodness sake, don't allow them to drag you down with them. Don't go places with them where they might do these things. If they are cheating in school or something like that, make sure you cover all of your bases and distance yourself from them.

issues like this are not at all elementary, fact of existence. One incorrect be conscious can harm somebody. i might say you need to attend until eventually this "chum" comes lower back, and say that he recommends you play guitar rather. it incredibly is once you "tried enjoying his guitar." with a bit of luck she would be waiting to take this little white lie and you will commerce the violin for the guitar.
