Shyness is just a personality trait. The more pressure you put on her NOT to be shy, the more withdrawn she'll become.
Just be accepting of her, give her positive feedback frequently, try to build her self-esteem. Maybe this will help her come out of her shell a bit. But don't try to force her into situations where she's uncomfortable in hopes of making her a more outgoing person.

By first realizing that a 13 year old is not a "little girl." Treating someone younger than they are is not a good way to get her to come out of her shell.

i used to be shy when i was younger too! i started gettig very active in student council and FORENSICS (public speaking) maybe encourage her to read in church.... or get involved in something that she really cares about.. encourage her to go more places without mom or dad, right there with her. if she has a sport she really loves, get her involved in that. maybe even try.. a national american miss pageant.. its not a beauty pageant but the way you carry yourself and public speaking .. she would gain soo much from that .. and it is really FUN.. it is all about raising her self esteem.. because at this age. she is very volnerable to be taken down the wrong path.. so two things to remember
1. get involved
2. check out this website! www.namiss.com

Take her to an interactive place with 13 year olds so she can make new friends and have fun. Maybe if theres YMCA, Boys and Girls club , etc.

Usually, you can't. People are usually born with those tendencies. If the only reason she's shy is because of something that happened, however, that might require therapy.
In other words, leave her be unless there's a real problem.

If the world wasn't so judgemental; we wouldn't have that problem. Spend time with her, and don't judge her. Make her spend time with you and your friends and laugh at whatever she says that is intended to be funny, and don't shut her down. Listen to what she says and let her do the things she wants.

Have her take a dance class. The confidence and self esteem it give young people is enormous!

Get her into sports or something. There are lots of fun things to do. Get her in to Cheerleading, soccer, volleyball, swiming.
