Try finding new things that'll give you motivation to go onto the next day. Find something to look forward to every day. Even if it's just little things like taking walks or playing with your sibling(s).

Focus less on the negatives in your life or about you. Focus on the positives, even if it seems like there aren’t any. Find the best things in your life - the people, the things you enjoy, the things you look forward to. Even if you think your life is pointless, someone else won’t.

There are meaning in the little things. Like a nice dish of food, a cool breeze blowing on a warm day, a stranger sending a smile your way.

It's a process, one day at a time, think about before you met this person, it is not an easy path but you can get there, there is light on the other side of what you are feeling.

Think of where you've made a difference in someone's life, where you've stepped out of your daily routine or put someone in front of your needs and think about how it made them feel, the gratitude and the happiness, you have an impact, you just have to remember.

I feel like life is pointless is just a feeling. It will pass , just like all the other feelings that comes and goes. Be patient and carry on with your daily routine. As you go on , start enjoying the little things like the trees , the sky, the smell of fresh coffee and so on. Be in the now for the time being and don't focus and the future yet. Slowly when you are more relaxed and receptive , it will come to you :you will find the meaning in your life.

It's a very big question, heck a lot of people no matter their age are still searching for meaning in their lives but it all starts with finding what you love. Try new things, see new places and meet as many different people as you can. Hobbies are a great place to start- rekindle an old passion or try rediscovering a new one. The more you learn about yourself, who you are and what makes you happy, the easier life will become.
