too lonely for my liking

At the end of year 11, all my close friends in school went to a different 6th form. I stayed at my school, because it's a good school and my parents wanted me to. I wanted to move, but I couldn't persuade them. I have outside school friends anyway, plus my old school ones so I thought I'd manage. I've just been talking to one of my old school friends and she's been invited to loads of party's etc, my other friends have loads of new friends, and I'm stuck at my school, hanging out with people I dont particularly like or want to hang out with.

I still hang out with my out of school friends sometimes, but it's not the same. My social life has gone steadily downhill, and I don't like it because I know I could have a better social life. I know that you could see this as advantageous, because I will get the better grades, get into the better uni etc etc. But I still can't help feeling a little depressed no matter how high i hold my head. I try not be jealous, but I just can't help it.
Any morale boosting tips? Or advice generally?

Thanks

Try to talk and interact with new people or people you normaly wouldn't approach. Make new friends. Join clubs outside school, which will allow you to know new people.
