hmmmmm....shyness delema..?
hi, im fourteen and and a suffer from really bad shyness during school. outside school im chatty and could laugh for hours with my friends. but suddenly the second i enter school i go quite. this really frustrates my friends because they always say "thats not you! why do you act like this in school" and i dont know why. i mean it doesnt help that every time i do talk in class or approach a teacher they either snap at me or are like "duh" to what i'm asking them about.
my teachers seem to have singled me out as the "shy" one. when they literatly dont know anything about me. they dont know what i like to do outside school or the problems i have at home. i want to get over this shyness. lately ive been talking more to students and i think there suprised at what im like (good suprised) if anybodies been through the same situation or has some anti-shyness techniques then i wish you could share them.
Update:i also in a band, and even though i dont really know the other members that well i have no problem chatting with them. its just...theres something about school that makes me shrink
Update 3:

Im JUST like you :P But im shy when people i don't really know are around, and when im alone with my friends im all crazy and weird :P So i just try to talk to everyone that approaches me, i ask there name and i introduce myself and then if we meet up more i ask for there msn etc. And honestly, i got so tired of myself not talking i started cutting myself :l im not saying you should do that but im saying you should take up a hobby that you love to do THATS NOT SELF-HARMING - i just did that because i was depressed, Hopefully your not depressed just take up a hobby or something that will help you in school, Join myspace or facebook and get a goal of friends you want. For example, i took up tutoring met 8 new people there ! isn't amazing. There awsome and fun to be with. One is a year younger but that dosent mean i gotta stop talking to them. so in all im just saying take up a hobby, meet new people, don't be shy. Also, one thing i do is i pretend someone i want to impress is standing behind me so i just get all crazy and talk to everyone i see (in school of course) after im done, i just look behind me and the persons never there so i KNOW i was just being me (:
