text: 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.
