Over the years I have had friends not many as the years go by i'm not sure if i'm not opening up enough but I have no idea what to do I have had like 30 friends to like 5 and some i think use me in a lot of more ways than one and I have been depressed over the last few months about this whole ordeal...how can I make more friends in my last 2 years of high school and have great memories or maybe would it be better if I killed myself.

Making friends is tough sometimes, especially if people at school are already settled into cliques that are intimidating to break in to - but just be yourself, smile and try and be confident and hopefully you'll find it easier to get to know people.
If you are concerned you are depressed, it's worth talking to your doctor. Everyone feels down sometimes, but talking about suicide maybe shows that your feelings run deeper, and if this is the case, a doctor will be able to talk to you about maybe seeing a counsellor or being medicated, depending on a number of factors. There are many organisations that can help you if you feel depressed - if things get on top of you, please talk to somebody - a doctor, teacher or family member, because they can honestly help. Good luck. [ hailebop's advice column | Ask hailebop A Question ]
