Think yourself lucky, plan a special night with your boy go to cinema or arrange to do something special, trust me if you got each other you don't need nothing else

If you're bothered about being in all the time then why not go out on a date with your boyfriend?
Also if you say he is getting you down, maybe you need to call it quits for awhile =]
Hope things get better!

 Why don't you buy a can of beer somewhere and drink it? Just get your dad to buy it for you. If that sounds like a boring idea, go for a walk around the block and feel sorry for yourself. Sometimes, it's good to indulge in self-pity.
When I was 16, I hated life too. It's okay to hate life. I assume you live in a free country.
And remember, shared laughter is the best tonic. Laugh with a group of people. Tell a few jokes.

trust me just because you stay in all weekend doesnt mean you have no social life! i am 16 and i have started doing things i regret like drinking to much going out into town and i regret it all! i think that staying in all weekend does not mean you are sad or stupid. Maybe just start going to the cinema with your boyfriend and go out to dinner with your mates and just start it gradually and soon you will be out every weekend.Trust me i used to be like that but know i just roll with everything if you get me.Its a friday night tonight and i have been with my mum all night so i really wouldnt worry.
Hope i helped
xx

When I was 16 I was very depressed, near suicidal. I look back now and wonder why. I had a good life, still do. Don't know why I felt it wasn't worth a damn.
Good luck. Remember, life works in cycles. It is bound to pick up, but it will definitely pick up if you help it to.
