Dealing with loneliness

I’m still currently homeschooled, and dont blame my parents I wanted to be homeschooled and do online school. I get really lonely and kinda depressed, I don’t wanna throw the word “depressed” around but it’s the only way I can say how I feel. I feel lonely because I have no friends and I don’t have anyone to talk to but it was the same in school. I kinda feel sad cause I won’t have a prom or a highschool dance. I need advice on how to deal with being upset and feeling lonely and an easy way to deal with it because if I don’t I know I’m gonnna feel worse.
