What?! Thanks a lot, now I'm getting distressed!! !
The question is, what do you think anyone here can do other than give you the advice we have done? No-one here can come and wave a wand and give you friends. You already said it is because you have a nasty temper and got violent and that you are aggressive. You have to work on changing that so you control your anger...and don't say you cannot as that is rubbish. I had to learn to control mine and I have severe anger issues and have never hurt someone else in that way.

If that's the attitude towards life that you take do you think it any wonder that some people see you as an obnoxious, whinging basket case?
There are many people much worse off than yourself who make do with what they have. When we walk through the door into life, we get given a box. A box of our problems that we will face in life. Now, this sounds like rubbish but it's true. Anyone who has a perfect life is a liar or has mental issues.

The only advice I can give is to try and be positive, give people the benefit of the doubt, try to be friendly and concentrate on your interests and forming new ones.
As to living in an isolated community, remember that when you are 16/18 (whichever it is in Australia) you can always move somewhere else and get a job; like Melbourne or Sydney perhaps or (<big city> etc.)
I can't really talk about the friend situation much myself as I don't really have any but I can tell you this: I used to be a heck of a lot more negative and came across a lot more miserable and unlikeable but I worked to change my attitude and become more positive and try to appear more outwardly friendly and at least I can say that now I am in a much better position to make friends when the opportunity arises for me. No one is perfect but one can but try.

I can't move somewhere else though!! ! Also, I hate being 15!!
You will only be 15 for a year at most...when you get to 16/18/21 or whatever the age is in your community and move away from your parents and have to fend for yourself you will realise that you will have the choice as to what you do and where you live. It will all be your responsibility and you will have to make the best of it.
I hated being 15 as well, but there is nothing anyone can do about that. Concentrate on the things in your life that you can change or improve, rather than thinking about things that nothing can be done about.
Is there nowhere in your area you can go?
