It's in the same school I'm at at the moment, so I will know most of the people.But most of my friends have all these friends in the year above (who will be with us next year) and I don't. I mean, I know who they are and stuff, but I feel really insecure around them and stupid.I'm really nervous about starting Sixth Form, as I am really insecure, and also I think I'm suffering with depression too, which doesn't really help. I'm pretty good at making friends, but with my strong and confident friends around me, I'm not. I don't really know what to say and how to behave, when around my current friends, so it will be really hard to make new friend with them there.I don't know what to do and I'm really scared.

Agreed, its not easy to open up, but you need to stop trying to worry about what others think of you beacause thats what will boost your confidence.
YOU DO NOT SUFFER FROM DEPRESSIon. the fact that u feel you are just proves you arent, cos if you were you wouldnt be able to think straight. you seem sensible, you seem to understand yourself.
you do not need to be stuck with a bunch of ppl forever. its good you can make friends easily, this wya you can get to know and befriend ppl you feel happy and completely yourself around. its easier said than done, but all it takes a bit of understanding.
