I know how that feels, but I suggest finding hobbies you love, (drawing, writing, sports, things that you want to excel im), making friends you want to live for, and doing things for others. Now i'm not saying put others needs before your own, but once you feel mentally stable enough to, go help others out! I find that helping others gives my life purpose and its very possible it would for you too. And as many great minds have hinted on, true happiness is virtue.

I found that a lot of times, taking up a new practice like a language or hobby can lead you in the right direction!

the meaning of life is you .. you are alive and should be thankful to god that he has provided you a physical human form and my friend life isn't pointless we all are in this world for some purpose , if you really want to find meaning in life just keep marching forward in life and don't overthink about life being pointless just keep doing good deeds in life ..!!

You need to spend some time to yourself, get to know yourself and the things you like to do. most importantly, hang around with positive people, yes life can sometimes seem that way but if you really look at it from another angle, and be grateful, life isn't that bad. :)

First of all life its not pointless, because people near you love you and support you whenever they can, you can find the meaning of your life by staying near these persons and recieve and share love, you can even find something you like in life and pick up an hobbie or go on with your school so you can be someone that you like in life, there are a lot of ways finding the meaning but you should search for it, what really makes your life important

Find things that you love. Things you love to do, things you want to accomplish, put yourself out there and be you, you can have meaning in life without being yourself and being doing things you want to do, and making something for yourself. it is a process.

Life is not pointless, we all go through many things where we feel like we do not deserve to be loved but we do deserve to be loved. We deserve to be happy and enjoy our life. Life is too short to spend time worrying about the past or the future. To find the meaning in life do the things that make you happy. Go for a walk, join a club or a sport, make some friends, watch your favorite tv show or play your favorite video game. We all have different things that put a smile on our face, once you find what does that for you life will no longer seem pointless. I am always here if you need to talk.
