Hello. I am 14 and I am 8th grade ... As you can think of a new class, new teachers and so on .... So my problem is that I am terribly very shy and I have only 2 girlfriends. One is 2 years younger than me and we will study in the same school and the other studies in another school. I am so shy that I am shy in front of my best friends but I hide it. I have been harassed since kindergarten, but because I am shy, I did not open up to anyone. It's still like that. I have been bullied for 7 years and now I have returned to the old school where I have a friend but she is in the 6th grade and in 2 years she will study elsewhere and I will be alone. In my new class, I know almost everyone and I know their characters. I studied in the previous school for 3 years and there I was harassed because I didn't talk to anyone, I had very short hair and I was fat, they thought I was a fat boy. They realized that I was a girl when we were divided into groups (girls against boys). I let my hair grow long and in the old class one that annoys everyone sat next to me in math shouting that I have ropes and I do not have and have not had. Now that I'm in the old school but another class, I don't know how others will accept me. How can I not be so shy?

The most important thing is not to care what others think of you. I was in a similar situation when I moved. In high school I was bullied a lot ... There was no reason for that but ... It's you. If others do not accept you as you are. I tried to talk to the other girls / boys, don't worry about talking to your classmates, you will still be with them for a long time.
Don't let them harass you! Trying to talk can be difficult at first, but don't give up. Don't worry about how you will be perceived out of worry, you may miss good moments. Talk to those you enjoy and ignore those you don't. They'll be the first to meet the people in the class. You can make friends. I'm also shy, but over time I've relaxed a lot, of course there's more to be desired. Believe in yourself and everything will be fine!
