im a freshman at my highschool and im new, i didnt move or anything ive always lived here, i just used to go to a different school. in the begining of school i thought i would make tons of friends since im a nice person you know. and i started off not talking in any of my classes. I hate to say this, but its still that way. and its half way through the year already. today at school someone told me people think im weird because i hardly talk in class..but the truth is im just a very quiet, shy person if u dont take the time to know me personally. once Im comfortbale, i never stop talking actually. And i hate how quiet i am in classes..i hate how people think im weird because of it..im sorry that im shy but thats just me, until you get to know me. it really upsets me to know that..i cried for the rest of the day after someone told me people think that about me..i dont want that reputation. I just wish others would take the time and get to know me. I wish people could see what a fun person I can be. Im also very upset about this because now im starting to get the idea people dont want to talk to me because they think im weird because im quiet. and it just pisses me off because its like you know what. if you think im quiet then why dont you just talk to me and find out if i actually AM quiet. because you know what, im not. im a very loud hyper person. and it really makes me mad at the same time. I hate this school. I want to go to a different one. And yeah i have friends, but not in my classes. and i dont have as many as id like. please help me, how can i become more talkative? i never EVER know how to start a good conversation. and its like how do i do that when no one wants to actually talk to me. I feel like im becoming depressed about this because its been happening for a while and I hope I become a little happier soon. Im really not liking my life right now.
thanks

It is up to you to be an outgoing member of society because if you're waiting around for someone to save you, there's no telling how long the wait is. Be your own hero and inspire others. Compliment people by being observant of the color of their nail polish or even the way they parted their hair that morning. Get involved in your school and let loose. How could doing so make things any worse?
