heres an easy way to overcome shyness (worked for me):

go outside your comfort level. start by just talking out loud in class often (answer a question or ask a question). once your comfortable with that, join a club, do a sport, or go to a school sports game. you will meet new people who have similar interests there. then, dont be afraid of people you dont know. start asking them questions about themselves or (if ur not so daring) ask them a question about your homework, and before you know it, you will be outgoing with tons of friends.

Just be yourself! High school provides enough variety that you don’t have to try to fit in to have friends. Try to introduce yourself to as many people as you can. Also, high school is a new start for everyone so you can be whoever you want to be (no one there knows that you are shy).

Good luck in high school!

SCREAM!
put yourself out there. talk to everyone and be friendly. dont act snobby or stuck up. you should dress nicely and according to the current style in your school (but that doesnt mean you should turn yourself into a clone). maybe make some changes to the way you act, but do not lose yourself while doing so. most of all just have fun, strike up some conversations and find some common ground. you’ll make new friends in no time! 🙂
