Do I live a completely pointless life?
I'm just going to bullet point, it will help me avoid getting personal opinions involved.
- No friends
- 16 years old
- No desire to live
- No desire to achieve anything
- No desire to work, go to college
- No goals that I can set
- Constantly fighting with family, no non-conflict moments when we talk
- Failing out of school despite working all hours I have available
- No sports or extracurricular activity because I always get cut from the team/group
- Scared of pain
- Scared of life
- Welcoming of death
Update:Saying "you need to see a therapist" isn't going to help me...
I've been seeing 3, twice a week per each for three years, plus intense medication for depression, the highest dosage for any depression medication.

It sounds like you just got depression. Join the club. No life is pointless, you can make it amazing if you try. Ask for help, get a therapist. It helped me:)
You are not the only one whose existence is pointless. Life has no point at all. But people manage to live by lying to themselves and setting faux goals which are worthless. Money, children, love, God are all mirages we are taught to chase throughout our lives. People with a meaningful existence are extremely rare.
Easy answer, travel the world until you find people you like and get along with, help people out, it makes you feel better, go to shows, have fun. hard to do alone but if you can find one other person then you build from there.
Your life is not pointless.
Don't worry, you'll be alright. You can be strong; you can be a fighter.
Don't want to work? You won't eat, shower, wipe your *** after using the washroom, clothe yourself, or even have a home. Why? Because you have no money to pay for food, shampoo, soap, toilet paper, clothes, rent/bills.
You need to see a therapist.
