I have a lot of good friends and lead a pretty good life. I'm always shy around other kids at school and everyone else like that though. I dont like talking infront of big groups or my crush. I do talk, but rarely around other people. Do you have any advise or tips on how to grow out of shyness?
I would like to talk more infront of other people, but I dont want to seem annoying or anything.

You need more confidence in yourself and more experience. The only way you get that is to start talking. When the opportunity arises and you feel that feeling that makes you turn red and say you can't, you need to not think you can't and just start talking. Say anything. The next time it will be easier. Stop saying to yourself that you can't and just think about what was said and what you think about what was said and open your mouth and speak. Start talking to everyone. Force yourself to say hello to people you don't know. Introduce yourself to people in your classes and have a couple of opener questions. What other classes are you taking? Have you ever taken so and so? Have you eaten at xxx? Talk music, sports, classes, laugh about what their T-shirt says, just anything. It gets easier and easier. Pretty soon you will wonder why you were ever shy. Just remember shy=I can't do that and that is not acceptable. Say to yourself yes I can and then just do it. Lots of luck.

I was extremely shy back when I was in high school and in my mind every person that you don't know could turn out to be your best friend. That's helped me out a ton of being shy in front of a person or 2. I have to give alot of speeches in front of groups of 30 plus people that are total strangers to me so to get over that I tied a big red balloon to empty chairs while I was standing on the platform rehearsing my speech....It worked wonders for me. Remember just be yourself...good luck :D

Try a little more every day of being a tiny bit outspoken. Don't worry about being shy. Most people are more appealing when being shy. They don't come on so strong and this is good. Many like a shy person!
Especially in the boy and girl scenario. One is always a little stronger than the other.
Good luck to you in your endeavor.
