You can change if you make the effort. If in school there are classes that will help you. Those classes are speech, debate and theater. Any one of them will require you to speak in front of people and may help your communications and social skills.
Also helpful is joining clubs, committees and groups (ones with some girls) that interest you - don't just sit back but be an active participant and you'll have friends that are also interested in the things you are and will welcome the chance to talk to you about your shared passions.
Toastmasters is great for overcoming reluctance of public speaking and can make you more confident in talking to girls. Often casually talk to a different girl even if it's just giving her a compliment, the practice is good (try not to be weird about it). Smile, show confidence and have some good ice-breakers and small-talk topics prepared. When conversing use the who's, what's, where's, how's and why's. Also it helps if you show humor.

Well... find a girl. And talk to her. Try asking girls in your classes for help or clarification on homework assignments, and see if you can branch the conversation into some small talk.
Sometimes I like to have little imaginary conversations in my head... I couldn't say if they're actually beneficial to my conversations skills or not, but it's darn fun!

Get a service job where you have to meet and greet people. You won't be shy anymore. Or, you could get a sales job or sell things door to door. If you learn how to sell to people, you will have great social skills.

You could just practice in front of a mirror, you could just get the courage to talk to her or you can write notes to her to say you want to talk to her and if she says yes you can practice in your mind to think about what to say. Be sure to practice in your mind, you can practice talking in your mind anywhere.
