First of all, it's always going to hurt.
It's never going to stop huting so if your
looking for a quick fix to make the pain
go away, it doesn't exist. However,
filling your day with activities will help
you keep your mind off it more so then you
are now.
I can't tell you what to do, because I
don't know what things are available too
you, but I bowl on the weekends, I try to
spend as much time in social situations as
I can, go to a friends house and hang out
instead of sitting at your place alone.
If you can't find a friend, go too diner
or something, order a cup of coffee, or
just take a walk. Play some basketball,
lift weights. And also remember that
everytime your out in the world you are
creating new social oppurtunities for
yourself, you may or may not realize this
but its true. Always try to be your best
when your out in public around people you
don't know, and you'll probably make a lot
of friends.

Whats up gilgamesh. Im really sorry to
hear about your situation...It really
saddens me. I dont understand why your
parrents kicked you out at such a young
age? This is a big deal being your age
and if possible id like to know some more
information on it.
Also what happy said is right on. Being
active really is the best thing to do to
fight depression.
