I can relate to that. When I was in secondary school I really only had a couple of real friends, and they both left during my final year. I'm sure I would have enjoyed school a lot more if I'd had more friends. Unfortunately I was the target of choice of the class thug/bully who had a tendency to also pick on anyone who was friendly towards me.

Fortunately year 5 students weren't expected to attend classes for subjects we weren't sitting exams for, so I spent a lot of my final months at school in empty classrooms studying on my own.

I always personally found that the only "true" friends that have stuck with me for my whole life were ones I met in high school or grew up with, this limits it to around 4 people, and for them I really am grateful. As for many other people they just tend to come and go, people say University is where you meet your true friends for life but honestly, it's really hard to find that especially in our generation.
