Practice social skills. How? Join clubs that interest you. Be involved in your church or synagogue's youth group. During lunch, sit with people who you know from your classes. Ask them before you sit down, "Could I sit with you?" Each time it will be easier. Also, people LOVE to talk about themselves. Ask people questions--"How long have you been playing the trumpet?" "What did you do for Thanksgiving?" If you ask questions, then the other person will be doing most of the talking, and he/she will think you are a great conversationalist!

Many people get nervous around others. Even I was nervous when I was younger. However, I found that everyone else was at least a little nervous, too.
Don't expect to be popular. Just try talking to people. Your words may not sound right the first time or even the first few times. Practice. You can try practicing with your relatives. You're probably not nervous talking to them.
Most importantly, be yourself, not what you think others want you to be. It's very easy to not want to talk to anyone when you see how easy others talk to people. You may feel you should copy them. There's no need. Start with a "hello" and a "How are you?" Ask questions like, "Was last night's homework easy for you?" or if a test is coming up ask, "Want to join my study group for the exam?" You'd be surprised how many students don't study until the last minute, so having a way to make friends and understand class material is a great opportunity for everyone, especially the shy people.
(If having a study group over at your house, be sure to ask your folks first. If they can't have people over that day, perhaps they might later in the week. Give your parents a chance to let your plan work.)

Talk to a popular kid and talk to people and introduce yourself. You will no longer be known as shy and you will gain confidence. Good luck

You should join your school's drama club or your local Junior Theater. You will learn how to speak in public and not feel awkward about it.
