I started singing along to my iPod in maths rather than doing the work. Whatever works for you.

Perform, lots.
Get gigs in local pubs and clubs, if you haven't got a band get one so that you're not using shitty backing tracks.
I used to be terrified of performing, now that I've done it loads of times I'm fine.

Just going to have to slowly work at it, start by singing to your closest friends, cousins etc.

Get used to performing, yeah. My guitar teacher says that he used to drink lots before he performed so people wouldn't see his hands shake.
I'm totally different though, I hate singing in front of people I know (just not confident enough, guitar and acting's fine). I think I'd prefer a noisy bar to a place where everyone's eyes are on me.

I'd start just singing outside in your front yard. (like a garage or just on the lawn ) .. in a small local cafe maybe. Then during school lunches. Make you're way going up and up. I used to just sing kareoke during family parties. I made up a few songs.. started singing FOR parties. Made my way up just preforming in my local coffee cafe shop. Then I tried actually just sidewalk playing. Really though, most I've ever done is just during school shows..
