Turning 17 soon and depressed

I'm turning 17 soon and I'm really depressed about it.
I literally do nothing because I have no energy and I feel like I've wasted so many years being sad, but I can't stop feeling that way.
I know 17 isn't really old in the whole grand scheme of things but to me it feels like I'm wasting my youth.

You are still a teenager. Your youth, imho, starts at 21 and ends at 35. You still have time ahead of you.

I understand it is difficult, but dont let it put you down. Have a positive outlook, find a gf, chat with your mates etc,

At 17, you should be looking forward to going up to uni. I suggest that you apply to a campus uni with loads of people, so you can meet people and make friends. Good luck.

Thanks, I'm actually a girl and straight and I'm not really interested in finding a bf because I think I need to work on myself more and actually make proper friends.
Yeah I hope it changes when I go to uni and meet new people.

It is fine to work on yourself. You have your future ahead of you, so remain positive. You don't need a bf but it is important to have different friends both girls and guys.
