Trust me. its just a passage of life. But don't get use to it dear.You are 17. Your solitude mind is seeking an answer right now.
Actually what u really need now is not friends etc. You r actually looking for a relationship. yearning for one to pop out in front of u but hmm... some how or rather it did not happen. One advice for u. Never go into a relationship for the sake of having one or because u r bore or lonely. It's rather unfair to yourself n the other party. So what i am suggesting here is that you will need to find yourself a passion in life. A passionate individual will never feels lonely. PAssion can be a person or an activity. A fulfilling passion will calms a restless mind. So go out there, go get yourself a passion to die for n when u find it. Hold it dearly n cherish it.
Good day pal n Good luck=)

I know how you feel. I think the only thing you can really do is try and get more comfortable in your own company and try to stop seeing 'alone time' as a negative thing. Plus being 17 is confusing enough as it is. I think everyone feels that way at some point; it's quite a modern day problem. Tell your friends how you feel. Sometimes it's the most popular people that feel the most lonely for some reason.

I noticed you said you have friends but no BOYFRIEND..maybe you just need a great guy in your life..to make you feel loved,wanted and like the most special person in the world. Friends can't do that for you..a boyfriend can share his thought and emotions to you..and vice-versa. Maybe you and your friends can go out with your new boyfriend and you'll have a new outlook on life..trust me I'm 19 and I felt the same way at 17. Females tend to feel more depressed and lonely than guys..try talking to that one guy you really like and go out to positive environments like the theatre,the beach,a good party or club,or just hang out and spend quality time with your friends and that special someone...Good Luck!

Maybe you feel lonely because of boy problems. You might just want a certain boy call you very night to talk to you, or call eveyday to hang out. or maybe you feel lonely because you are starting to change your hopes on life and your friends dont have those same hopes or wants.
Which ever the case, Keep your head up eventually things will look your way! :]

Sometimes we all feel lonely when there is no visible reason to be. Try talking to someone, even someone out of your circle. Make yourself a list of what makes you feel lonely or start journaling. Maybe you just feel like your missing something, it could be simple like volunteering or expressing yourself through the arts. Hang in there though it will pass.

Hang out with your friends as much as possible. Do you have a boyfriend? Who knows that might help. I hope you stop feeling lonely soon! I wish you luck!

dig deep maybe do some soul searching and ask yourself why you feel this way.maybe your looking fo something a little more......... and dont worry about luckford....... comment he needs to get the attitude change, not you. you cant help feel this way sometimes even though you have many people around you who love you, yeah you can sometimes feel lonely, its ok to feel this way........ as long as you dont feel this way for too often as it can turn into depression. like i suggested just do some soul searching. or you know talk to someone close in your family like mum or sister. cheer up .

Do these friends REALLY care about you? If not, focus on those who do. Sunshine friends are not going to make you feel good when you're down, they'll just tell you to get your mind off it.
If you really want a REAL FRIEND, look into Jesus Christ. He'll take the loneliness away for good if you let Him.

Get to know yourself and become your own best friend, figure you out and what makes you really happy and that is half of the battle won. No matter where you go you will always be there, that is a promise.

Try joining groups and clubs, and make sure to stay in contact with your friends. Maybe you should hang out at the mall or go see a movie today.
