Are you really having suicidal thought b/c of this? Is it upsetting you that much?

And no, drugs are a road to hell. No matter how bad you think things are now, drugs will not makes anything better. Nothing. Never.

Join a club that interests you. Make more of an effort with people you wouldn't usually. Change schools/college for a fresh start- there is lots of ways you just have to be willing to try.

Don't let a lack of friends stop you from getting to university either.

How have you ended up with not having any friends? (just asking, not accusing you of anything)
i know its hard but drugs definately arent something good to be getting into.

Don't ever "wait till x". Make the changes now. It's your life and you can shape it how you want, making friends is just another thing you have to learn the right way to go about.

Here's a site that's helped me a lot:

Great advice, very specific and helpful. Also he's not selling some ebook so it's all just good honest stuff.

Drugs and suicide is no option ever.

You're 16, so starting a new college this September? If so and even if not, the only way to really make friends is to put yourself out there. There's no real recipe as such for making friends, you just have to be yourself - try and be friendly with people and people will make an effort back.

Likelihood is, if you literally don't have any friends it's because people think that you don't want any. Making an effort with people - although hard, will extinguish this.

There's no easy answer to this. Friendships are built and you just have to make the first steps to building them. :smile:

You're not posting an anon anymore. Unless they've changed the system, it would show you as the OP. And it doesn't. Are you the OP :hmmm:

I've heard people don't bother with anyone in college though, they only stick with their oringinal friends.

do you know or have a feeling as to why you don't "seem" to have anyone? Is it possible that perhaps you're pushing them away for one reason or another?

there are lots of people like you. Most of them are at home, in their rooms at places like TSR complaining about the same problem, not realising next door the guy has the same problem.

nope that isn't true, I've made a few friends I would have never thought I would be friends with. Jsut talk to a few people in your classes, discuss answers together then eventually you can have more interesting conversations.

suicidal thoughts... thats bad, you should speak to a counsellor if you keep thinking about dying or having drugs

btw I'll be your friend :smile:

TSR is way better than real life! :wink:

Okay, err... I don't know, wait until college or sixth form? Read some joke booksand then recite them to make people laugh? Take up a new sport and meet people that way?
