I'm 17 and am about to be starting my senior year in high school. We moved to this little town from a big city where I used to live about 8 months ago. I hate it. I have made no friends and I have just never felt so low in my life. I feel like my problem is so cliché and there are people whose lives are way worse than mine but at the same time I have never felt so low in my entire life. I've been depressed for so long and I miss my old friends so badly. They understood me and helped ne through so much. My problem is that I don't know what I should do about it. I need to start figuring out where I need to be going for college and part of me thinks I should move back. But I have a little sister who needs me. I just don't see a future for myself here. My question is what can I do to pull myself out of my depression and loneliness? Should I move away from my family and plan my future elsewhere or is that selfish to give it up here?

Tell me more about the little town. What's in it?
