I want a boyfriend so bad it's depressing.?

Don't sweat it. You're only 17 and you have a long time ahead of you to meet plenty of men (or women if you are so inclined). Spend the time now to learn about and become happy with yourself. My son is currently finally dating the girl who was his "friend" for years. They just now realized that they make each other happy. The man you finally snag will be 10x better for having found and loved you without all the fake, physical trappings that men think they need to find in a woman. If those men are overlooking you, then count your blessings. Even if you were thin, tan, and sexy, you would want a man to love you for your ideals and personality. You've just got to find the one who can see beyond the physical to the beauty you are inside. That man will be worth the wait.
