How can I become more outgoing?

Question

I want to make more friends and have a good high school experience. But I think people would rather be friends with a stick, lol. How can I become more outgoing , care less about what my peers think, and be less shy??

I also tak less because my speech is bad. Not bad, but I can't seem to make conversation. I NEVER have anything to talk about! I feel soo boring! And eveyt time I talk, I say "um..." and "like" tons of times! How can I improve my speaking skills?
Any suggestions would be nice. Thank you. :)

To become more outgoing try to care less what people think about you. Don't try to dress like all the other kids. Have your own unique signature appearance. And don't feel insecure about it, Not everyone will like you, but people will respect that you have the guts to try to be different in a society where everyone else tries to be a clone of a celebrity. Don't worry about how you talk, people don't expect other people to sound alike. Be yourself. Dress how you see is cool and if people don't like it, the heck with them.
