Don't know how to get over this?
Answer:
You just do it...take this as a step in the right direction, you have to do it for school, so what if you dont know anyone? First of all you are there to learn not to pick up a date, secondly what interaction you do have is with people you dont know well. It will be a step in the right direction and if you dont try being more open now you will regret it later in life...
If you truly want to get over your shyness you need to force yourself to get into social situations that make you feel uncomfortable. You'll see that it isn't so bad and then you wont fear being in those social situations anymore. I'm shy too and I've passed up a lot of events because of it and I always regret it so now I just try to go to these things even if I don't want to.
Just go through with it! You may meet people with similar interests in this unfamiliar territory; after all, some of those people may be in the same situation. Always be yourself, no matter what...if people don't like you, it's their loss...be true to yourself. Good luck!
The best thing to do is face your fear. Go to summer school. First of all, you are going to school to learn. That should be your top priority when you are there. Smile and speak to everyone you see. Don't be afraid to spark up conversations with people. The next time you feel shy, just think to your self. "They are normal people, just like me." Then you will realize that there is nothing to be shy about! Enjoy your summer.
If you need to make up credits in summer school, there is no "not doing it" because your academic success depends on it and social issues need to take second place to your personal success at age 16. About your shyness, remember you will not be there, specifically, to make friends or to pick up boys. If you concentrate on the real reason you will be in school in July, and do not stress over "people issues", you will naturally meet and become friends with someone else there by virtue of the fact that you will be in the same place at the same time. Many of the others in your school may not know anyone there either. Just give yourself a chance because you may never be "ready". You ARE as ready as anyone else is. Best wishes.
