Hi Gator-
I kinda know where you're coming from on this. Had similar problems when I was your age. Here's some things to think about though:
-Ask yourself why do you think you're shy? Remember, always try to get to know yourself first and foremost. Plus, you wern't afraid to ask this question on Yahoo, that tells me something about you right there.
-It's natural to be scared to be embarassed, especially at your age. What helped me was if something happened, brush yourself off and keep going. Sometimes the most embarrassing stories can be the best icebreakers at parties. Most of the best stories I've heard in my time are about how other people got embarrased, but they didn't care. People won't be laughing AT you all the time.
-Sometimes carefree is not the way to go. A lot of people your age like to look before they leap, which could land them in trouble with drugs, alcahol, and even the law. You seem to have a lot going for you, don't mess it up. What do you like to do for fun? Maybe explore a new hobby, or get involved a little more at school.
Bottom line is this: People may tell you to just be yourself, but you AND ONLY you need to figure out what that "self" is all about.
Anyways, feel free to contact me if you need some more insight.
Take Care
