My life is just so completely boring that it's depressing. Every single morning I wake up at the crack of dawn, work endlessly at school, come home and spend 5 hours on homework, then I go to sleep. I push myself a lot in my schoolwork, so much that it's totally consumed my life. I have no friends. There are people that I sit and eat lunch with every day, but they're not my friends. In fact, I'm pretty sure they don't even like me. I have nothing in common with them. My school's super small, too, so I have nowhere else to go. I'm in clubs at school, but I feel like they do absolutely nothing for me most times. I don't like holidays, especially Valentine's Day, which is coming up. They're so pointless, and I never celebrate them anyway. I feel like my life has absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Teachers give way too much homework and expect us to get it all done. I don't play sports. I don't like music. My life has no purpose whatsoever. Sometimes I feel so depressed that I just eat and eat- there's nothing else I feel like doing. I have really bad acne and braces and scoliosis and greasy hair. I hate my freshman year in high school. I hate life. Help...

For example, if you've heard that a certain show is interesting, watch an episode each day as a break from homework. Or read a book a little at a time. You don't have to find what you like right away. Think of things that maybe could be interesting. For example, have you ever tried art? Maybe buy a sketchbook and try? If you like to eat why not learn to cook? You can also go for a walk. Maybe learn how to plant a seed and take care of it. Even get a small pet. Play a video game.
Sometimes it takes time but once you've found the one thing that inspires you, it makes things easier. Like I said, start with giving yourself just 30 minutes each day to relax and do something you think would be fun and different. Don't be afraid to try new things.
I'm a university student and I know how if you focus on school all the time it burns you out. Never say that your life has no purpose. If you feel this way then perhaps you can do something for other people as well. Never be afraid to try new things. You have to take the initiative and make your life exciting otherwise it never will be.
