Have you tried to make friends outside of school? You could try to volunteer or join activities :) good luck
you can make friends like just go up to someone and start talking to them or in a group or a room mate in college you can just act friendly or yourself and ask them about how they are doing, or there hobbies. :)
It is quite common to not have friends in high school or college, and often people do not keep the friends they make here. It is important to analyse why it is that you don't have friends, are you naturally an introvert?, do you take a long time to trust people, do you have social anxiety or anger issues perhaps, once you have identified and addressed the reasons you can start to reach out to others and make friends, be aware though friendships involve give and take so don't let people take advantage of you. It might help to join a club or society at college or if you play a sport get involved in that, relationships are challenging and building up friendships takes time whatever happens though don't give up, it's all a learning experience.
Well....I maybe have 2 friends. I've tried and tried. My answer was books. They are lovely
