Teza answered Friday August 19 2005, 5:09 pm: That happenes to a lot of people when they start school. Yeah, the first couple of weeks are weird at first but trust me. You will def. meet a lot more people. Its fine that you're shy but you have to be more outgoing and friedly to people. Talk to people in your class. It wont hurt you a bit. You would rather have friends then just be shy and be alone! So go for it. You could also sign up for sports at your school or other activities. A lot of kids sign up for them and that is another way to make friends and meet a lot of people. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

First of all I'm going to start off with a few cliches- You're all in the same boat and it's not as bad as you think etc etc...
Are you sure there's noone in your classes that you might like once you get to know them? Half of them are probably just as shy as you and maybe the person sitting behind you doesn't make a very good first impression. Try talking to them about homework or ask to borrow a pen in order to start a conversation. Do they have band stickers on their folders? Then why not ask them about their music taste?
Is there any hobby you are particularly interested in? Try joining a club or a sports team. I met my best friend in the School Orchestra because we both play cello and I'm still friends with people from the drama group even though I've stopped going.
Bergy413 answered Thursday August 18 2005, 1:14 am: I know what you mean. I am extremely shy. A good idea would be when you have to have partners, ask a person that you are interested in being friends with to be your partner. You could also try to join some school sports teams or some kind of school clubs. I know clubs sound stupid but my brother has just started joining up some clubs and before he had never had a friend over and now i hardly see him home anymore. I hope this advice helps.
