So sorry about your friend, my condolences.
Any youth centers in your area, or through your church that you might join? What's the chance of enrolling in a special interest activity or course?
You sound like you have things together where education is concerned, good for you! Responsible too...if you can locate a club or group that caters to teens in the area that you might be able to get to...that might be a start for you. Don't know what your transportation system is like (buses etc) tho.
Good luck!

I really feel for you cos i know how hard it can be to make friends at any age. firstly though, what do you do in your job? do you work with anyone else your age? maybe you could take up a hobby, a sport like football, join a local team? what about swimming? if you cant play sports maybe you could take up lessons? join a gym? drama group or even your local church, they may also run clubs of some kind. i do hope it works out for you. good luck

The best thing you can do is go to church and make friends there. And at least you'll have God in common, and you can start with that.

Get yourself some pen friends. You might be surprised at how close to you some of them are.
