Engage in social activity. Do volunteer work. Join a club or a sport. Make an effort to talk to people. Most of them won't bite:-)
You also might want to consider counseling or therapy. If you have guidance counselors at your school, you could start there.
There's a whole world of people waiting to meet you, but they don't know how wonderful you are yet because you haven't given them the chance to get to know you.

A big thing people worry about is what they are supposed to be 'doing' when they are around people. Are they supposed to talk, listen, start a conversation, hold their hands this way, what? So solve the problem by starting to get out in a situation where you know ahead of time what you will be doing -- don't just leave the time open-ended. One way to do this is to volunteer to help others at some charity -- you 'do' what they need you to do. At the same time you will be interacting with people, but you aren't worried about what you are supposed to be doing. You are helping with whatever you volunteered to do. Having something you know you will be doing makes interacting easier. And then interacting over time makes you more comfortable around other people, you learn to chit-chat because you got to do a little of that while you were volunteering. Start slow.

Finally, a question i can answer. I used to have this too, um at first I didn't even know, but yeah. Try to find out what the reason of it is is.. You can find out a lot about it on the net... I'm not sure what will hellp you, but it helped me to learn why I was like that... You can go to http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/mental_health/social_phobia.html and http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/social-anxiety-disorder/DS00595/DSECTION=4 is also a good site. I hope this helps. Otherwise, see a specialist? Although, self-help worked for me, so keep at it.
