Long story short, I am a outcast as a different country person in my school. This makes me pretty much friendless, as well as not too long ago, I ended the friendship with my best friend and crush at the same time. All I can say is, It’s been tough out here. Any tips on how to get through grade nine?

I can't relate, so I can't give you advice, but I can tell you that things will be alright, I knew someone who was in a similar spot and he turned out alright

Yes, it can be pleasant or you feel lonely because you don't have any social support, at least as far as I can tell from the message. If you are a person who is communicative or has no problems talking to people and fitting in with people, I would recommend that you find some people who suit you socially and approach them and start a topic and interest them (that people still exist - yes), that way every day you will be more and more open and people will open up to you and you will be able to expand your circle of friends, it will shock you. If you are a non-communicative and shy person, I would recommend that you observe people and their behavior for a while and make up your mind with whom you could potentially start a conversation in silence. Believe me, such situations are sometimes the best because you are only with yourself and do not depend on others. If the person is interested and enjoys your company -> stay and communicate regularly, you become more open and start spreading the bread of friendship. If the person is not interested -> apologize to them and move away, it means that the person is also not ready or needs time to open up, wait. Understand that it takes time, not everything happens quickly, you need to carefully look at the social environment around you, start communicating with people, even minimally, but go ahead, you have nothing to lose. And as for the argument with a friend and crush, you did not state why you had an argument, if the reason was not big or significant, make up, you do not have to be friends but be on good terms because you will need it one day. Here is the answer from my perspective, I hope it will help you, maybe not, but if you have any other questions or situations, feel free to write, I am here to help.

I was about to say something but the guy before me is so right ^^^
The main point is to expand your reach, try to have a convo with everybody and depending on their vibes, continue pursuing that connection
Im assuming you cannot speak the native language and are studying in an internantional school, in that case, your school and the internet is most of your domain
No matter the place, there are bound to be some people outside your school who you can speak english with, try to see the kinds of communities these people hang out in
Look for theater clubs, martial arts gyms with foreign masters, look for any kind of community that you can communicate with
You wont find much, but you'll find people
Maybe even if you dont speak their language, you can communicate with gestures, signs and common interests
