Question: I'm really shy and don't know how to make friends. Help!? I am extremely shy, and don't know how to make friends.  Whenever I say something I imagine that people think I'm annoying, and don't like me.  I'm not willing to change the way I act around different people, so sometimes I simply don't say anythig at all.  I'm going into high school next year, so I'm afraid I won't make any friends and will be depressed.

Answer: Having friends is so over rated, but if you feel like you just have to have a friend, find someone who is more like you, If you enjoy reading you will find someone in the school library, public library,\ndo you do sports? Go to your school function. I was very shy in school too, I came out of my shyness, but I still just love being to myself. I still went to many parties & malls, I just went by myself.\nI still do!    I have watched many of my student come out of their shell!  You'll be O.K.
