I completely understand your situation. I'm going through that myself, I'm one way at home and a completely different way at school. Anyways I agree with SK Sleigh, you should try joining a club you are interested in because chances are, everyone involved in that club shares at least one thing in common with you.Be inviting and smile often.Walk with your head held high instead of hiding behind your books,or looking at the floor, and make eye contact. Start out a conversation with a compliment, "wow I love that shirt", or "nice shoes" . Follow those up with questions like,"where did you get that?" or "who did you're hair?", let the person know that you are interested in them.look for other new kids in your school, chances are you aren't the only one. During lunch don't be afraid to go up to a table and kindly say, "hello can I sit here?"And begin a conversation. Tell them where your from, ask about the school, talk about your old school, ask what they like to do for fun, and if you like the kids you sit with, ask if it's okay if you cold sit with them tommorow.the possibilties are endless!Don't sit at the back of class, sit where you are near the middle.Above all be your own sweet self and don't change your beliefs or decisions just to fit in with others. Be yourself and people will naturally be drawn to your great personality!And have fun!!!!Remember you aren't alone in this and being thrown into a new enviroment or school can be pretty tough but never give up. you a great person and don't be afraid to let people see that.And even if they reject you, there's something wrong with the person not you.Have fun this school year and good luck!!!Also if you need more tips go to www.wikihow.com.just type in what you'd like to know how to do and they'll have many helpful answers.godbless and may you have a great year with many new friends.

Some of the tips to overcome your shyness is to be yourself (of course), be friendly, smile (not 24/7 Lil) and have a great personality.  To make friends very easily, you could join the school clubs based on your interests or some extracurricular activities.  I am sure that you will make some friends on your school.  Hope it helps you.
