So, I just moved away from Canada to USA about 1,000 miles..

I've been in school for about two weeks now, and I don't really have any friends.. no neighbourhood friends either.. I've been anti-social and depressed for about two months..

Also, my brother and sister stayed in Canada and I don't even have them like I used to when we moved..

All my parents are worried about are my grades and they've been wondering why I've been so lazy and sad lately.. yet they show NO support.. They really get mad at me for being like this too

All I do is go to school and come home, eat, sleep, and listen to music which makes me feel a bit better, I guess..

I just have no one to talk to, and it's tough..

I just want this to stop and make some friends atleast and have some people to hang out with on the weekend.. not only sit at home and do nothing, I want to have someone to sit with at lunch so I don't seem like a fuckin loser..

I also have diagnosed OCD and anyone with OCD knows how hard it is to move away from a place and 'make' new rituals.. OCD is a major factor in this depression.. My parents know but don't think it's a real problem although I have talked to them before about it

I'm not even gonna bother getting mad on this post because it won't do anything..

I do hope you can make some friends in the future. Try to join a group or activity at school or even outside of school you might meet some people who go to your school. Don't lock yourself away from people, try to put yourself out there, show a bit of yourself if you can and in time you will make some friends if you put your mind to it.

You need some support obliviously and it's apparent you have no one to talk to. If you want to vent or something I'd would be glad to help, just pm if you're interested. Perhaps you need to talk with your parents directly about how you're feeling and why things are slipping at school. Then they can understand and give you the support you need at the moment. When you're depressed it's so easy for grades to slip because you just don't have the will to do it and it's hard to push threw it. You say listening to music helps so listen to music while you do your homework, take ten minutes breaks and do something fun. Find ways to relax, vent, etc like throwing pebbles or something similar. Basically try anything to make yourself feel better and then homework will become much easier.

I know must of this stuff is easier said then done but best of luck.

Well then try joining a school activity. There are usually hundreds of clubs at schools. If you are into Anime and your school has one then you are already on the basis of getting new friends. If you are into debate join! There are many ways to make new friends you just have to be completely open and up to meeting new people.

As for your parents, you may have tough parents but they should have your best interests at heart. If I were you I would handle the friend situation on my own. If you feel like you want to do something that only parents can arrange or sign for don't be afraid to ask.
I am pretty sure your year will get better :D
Good luck :D
