I need help being more open around people. My parents are telling me to start by telling people good morning and stuff when I come to class. Is there anything else I should know? I seem to have a serious problem talking and relating to people. Any advice you have would be appreciated. Because I feel kind of lost.

Why do you need to be more open? I shut people out. Whats wrong with that?

Do you have friends? What about, when you're with a friend at lunch or something, and you two go up to a group of people, introduce yourself by saying "hey! i'm soandso" in a friendly tone. Just be friendly and open yourself to others. Try to be somewhat outgoing in class and maybe try joining clubs and stuff. Get yourself some confidence. :)
Good luck!

I had the same problem. Just start saying HI to people and waving. Start to ask how they are doing. Myabe it will strike up a conversation.

Introduce yourself to people. Maybe ask how they are etc. I know how hard it can be to talk to people. PM if you need more help. :)
