It's really good to join clubs, even if you go along and try to hide in the background people will always find you and speak to you, and they are always extremely kind. If you tell them how shy a person you are and that you came along in hope of making friends, then immediately they make you feel at ease nd become a good friend - just like that!

:'(My family is very outgoing. When I was in elementary school, I had a problem with my speech and had to attend speech therapy. I couldn't pronounce certain sounds but my speech therapist worked with me and corrected my problem before I entered junior high. Other kids always laughed when I was called on to talk in class. I was bullied and called nasty names. Being teased hurt my self-esteem and confidence in making friends or talking to people because I was scared they would laugh at me. The teasing carried over into junior high and into high school. I was teased up until the day of commencement. Because I was scared to talk to other students, I was labled as shy and quiet. I didn't know how to talk to others and the cliques were really tight. I didn't have a single friend throughout school. The only time others kids would talk to me is when they had a question about an assignment. I missed out on the typical high school life. After high school, I attended college and got a part-time job working in retail. It took a while but I overcame my shyness.
