There are lot of shy people out there in the world and everybody has their own way of overcoming being shy. Like for example when it comes to guys how about trying to start a conversation with the guy if you have a friend with you. You can have your friend try to sweeten the pot by having them start talking to them just to break the ice first so you can feel comfortable around him and his friends. Cause popular guys usually hang around the friends and and don't go solo. But who knows you might get lucky and try to catch him without his friends. It's really up to you when you want to try and talk to him. But if I were you I would try to talk to him one on one and see what happens first.

Hi,
So I'm overcomeing shyness too. Shyness means being axious in social situations. Basically, you're scared of not being liked. So my solution? Well what I do is come up with a list of 'comebacks' to say should anyone comment. These arn't bitchy, but they're like 'ah well can't please everyone'. By doing this, you can say what you like in class, and if anyone says anything they'll be put back in their place, because girl you have a right to stand up for yourself. People will respect you for this and you'll become more confident as well.

Also, join a club say at school or outside of school. And why not say a hi to another quiet girl in your grade? They could be just like you and will be glad of your companionship.

About the boy thing. You're trying too much all at once. Improve your self esteem and shyness first. This is because when I was at the height of my shyness I got into a relationship as a guy asked me out, but because being shy kinda makes you insecure, the guy will soon notice you're depending on him, and he wants a confident girl not a needy one.

So yeh, combat the shyness first. Smiling really works to as mentioned in a previous answer, but try it at teacher first if you're shy.

Over 50% of American adults have been shy, so I would worry about it. I'm in the same boat as you so good luck :)

Just try and step out of your comfort zone,
talk to people you don't usually talk to, make conversations with people you sit by, or see often during the day, make it a goal to smile more, and laugh as often as you can, once people see you as a more friendly, fun, happy person they will talk to you more and that will help a lot with your shy situation.

I used to be that way too (:

Hope i helped, good luck. (:
