You need to start talking to people more.
Even if you find it hard, just try and start some conversation, you can go with safe stuff like school/family/clothes/what you want to do after school etc. just to start chatting.
Then just make some plans, doesnt have to be big to start with, just hang out for a couple of hours, go to the cinema, eat out, watch some tv, read some magazines together.
You just have to go out there and do it!
Making a friend will leave you open to meeting more people via him/her to expand your social circle. make a party and invite them all to it. Once you become friendly with them, you will get invited out more. Its hard at the start you may feel when the oppurtunity arises that you dont actually want to go out, but force yourself to go cause you will have fun there.
Also you might as well make facebook a lot of people do invites to events on there..
hope this helps you xx

Just talk to people... anyone..
If your in a shop and you buy something.. have a little chit chat with the person at the till. Or just another member of the public! I do it all the time lol. That will help build confidence. And if you mess up... its not as if youll see them agian there just randomers.
Then use what your learn to talk to your "acquaintances" more.
