I have a friend that's only 14 years old (I'm a minor too and he's an online friend), and he has been dealing with loneliness and depression (not diagnosed depression but he might be). He says that he doesn't have any friends at school or around his neighborhood. I talked to him and said that there have to be at least some good people in his school or around his home that will be willing to be his friend but he says all the people at school are rude and some people even jump him. I told him to just make small talk with some people to try make some friends but he said all of them are rude and there's just one guy he kinda knows who's in 7th grade and his junior and he also is just nonchalant and they barely talk and he has even tried to get him to hangout together but he's not willing. I asked him if he goes anywhere else like extra classes or some other place. He said he goes to play tennis but people there are also the same, they have kind of a superiority thing that they can play better so he doesn't really get included there. At his home, his parents aren't supportive and he has tried to change his school through entrance tests but he didn't qualify so he's stuck in that school coz the entrance test only happens in a certain grade. I asked him if he could go into any sports and he said that he does play football at times but he's not good enough at it to be in the school team. I had told him to practice football and get into the team coz there he can make friends as sports requires teamwork and you eventually will make at least a few friends in your team. But, he didn't really seem into the idea of doing that and that's the last time I talked to him. He's from Qatar and he says that people around his area are like self centered kind of people and mostly rude. I don't know what else I could tell him, he's an only child so he doesn't have any siblings that could be his friends. Help me out I'll try talking to him again

Do any of you ever wonder why anything exists at all? And whatever the reason is, why would said reason make sense? What makes us perceive anything to begin with? Perhaps we never will find out, and maybe it's supposed to be that way.. Without anything to question life would be quite boring.. What do you all think?
