Geez, I wish I'd had this kind of advice available when I graduated High School. I was depressed like you throughout High School with only a few close friends. I just felt like I was on the outside looking in. I had no girlfiends and only went on one or two dates. Having a girlfriend is nice, but you have to like yourself before you can like someone else. The best thing I had going for me in High School was to believe, truly believe, that things were not going to stay that way and that they would eventually get better. It's cliche, but hope springs eternal. Your desire to make a change is an important first step.
There have been many great pieces of advice posted here. One thing that has not been mentioned is checking with your local Parks and Recreation department. Every town I have lived in had a Parks and Rec that put out a free quarterly bulletin of programs they offer. The programs are usually reasonably priced and there are lots to choose from. If you can find it look it over and find something you are interested in. Try something new and different like kyaking, or swing dancing, or water polo. These programs are fun and you will meet lots of new people and possibly make a few new friends.
Good luck, we're here for you.
