This study concerns the issue of shy students. This problem and its consequences are often played down by school authorities, including teachers. The article focuses on showing shyness as one of the manifestations of educational difficulties. The concept of shyness has been defined and attention has been paid to the specifics of this phenomenon and the problems faced by shy students. A shy student is described as polite, tactful, and even worth imitating, meanwhile shyness can have a very negative impact on a young person's life. Therefore, it is necessary to sensitize teachers and educators to the needs of a shy student and the need to take special educational actions towards him / her.
