Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Another country as in...one that speaks English, or not? If not, then there are bound to be small pockets of Americans around, including schools for American kids/teens, etc.
If you ARE in a place that speaks English, then my advice is pretty much the same as it would be if you moved anywhere. It is very hard to meet people, but it's possible. The first step is identifying what sort of people you want to meet, and then figuring out how to do it.
Join a club that you're interested in - most schools have them. Sports, drama, debate, travel, backpacking - anything that you really enjoy. This makes it easier to meet people as you're only trying to get to know 20 people instead of 200. Plus, you're with a group of people who share one interest with you...which means chances are you've got other stuff in common.
Not having friends can be a draining, depressing state to be in - but it won't last. Be honest about your feelings. Sometimes people just need to get used to a face before they want to get to know the person behind it. Best of luck.....if you join a club and only find one good friend, then you've succeeded. At the very least, you'll be out of the house and doing something you enjoy.
