Is it normal to miss school?

I graduated from school at the end of last year, and honestly I was so glad to be gone. During my school days I was probably the student that hated school the most, I rarely went because I would fake sickness, I was depressed and suicidal and thought about dropping out of school several times.

Now that I'm finished school I miss it alot, I remember that I was pretty much a huge dick to most of my teachers, I hated my maths teacher even though she would stay back with me and would literally give me the answers just so I could pass. I regret being such an asshole, and all my friends don't even bother to contact me anymore despite me trying to hold up the friendship.

I've been friends with them for most of my life, we basically grew up together and the moment we leave school they stop talking to me? So much for fucking "best friends forever." I mean I knew I might lose some friends, but does it always go to shit after graduation?

I have no job and stay up all night on the computer, there is no point in living anymore. I doubt I'll get a job even if I start looking, because nothing interests me but the computer, and no I can't get a computer based job because I'm not a good animator, coder, technician, whatever, I just play games all day. The only reason I haven't killed myself yet is because I don't want to make my parents sad.

    I would suggest you go and seek professional help for those thoughts. I did and once you find the right person to talk to, it really helps.
    As for missing school, that's normal. Your life and days were already planned, you had nothing to think about and life was easy (relatively speaking of course). Now that you graduated, you have to make up your own days and decide what to do next. That's hard.
    I don't know how old you are, but I would advice you to get some kind of job. You don't even need a job that is your dreamjob, even helping in the supermarket can help. It will give you something to do, so keep your mind off other thoughts, and you finally have a sense of purpose.
    Once you have that back, and talked with someone, you can start making steps towards your dreams or dream job, and slowly go for that. Don't think you can get everything from the day you left school. Life isn't that easy, unfortunately. It will takes lots of baby steps and probably lots of huge steps backwards. So don't expect yourself to get the right job in the first day of trying.
    Try and fail, don't fail to try.

      Weirdly sound advice from a badly drawn cat in a badly drawn world with a badly drawn owner in a badly drawn house.
