Does God Hate me?

I'm 17 and feel like God hates me. He doesn't seem to be their for me he's felt so distant and like he can't hear me. I've felt like God has been making everyone elses lives so amazing and things keep getting better for them, I have friends who are getting married or have already been married just a couple months ago and my 20 year old sister who just got married is now pregnant and now I can add that to the other 3 people I know who are experiencing that blessing. And I have a boyfriend we've been together almost 2 years but we can't go on a official date until were 18 but our families do hangout and I go to his house with parental supervision and same wig him going to my house. But he's moving to Texas for 2 years for college it makes me mad and sad cause I see all my friends whos boyfriends aren't leaving them and they have plans to get married or have been married.
It just seems like everyone has amazing things happening in their lives and that my life is just blah! And it doesn't help that I'm homeschooled with 5 other siblings. I can go on andbon about this but it will be way to long.

What should I do? Sometimes I just want to walk away from God and say forget it and I've been a Christian since I was 7

I began life in Vancouver, Washington. When I was threeish, I moved to Speculator, New York. When I lived there, it had a population of about five hundred. It had a resort which opened during the summer, so that was my only social life other than about five other kids my age(four of them being boys). So we were pretty much like family, and we were all home-schooled, usually together. This went on for seven years of my life. They were my brothers. Then God decided to take away our job, and move us all the way out to Oregon, which is about three thousand miles away. I was devastated and felt like God either hated me, or didn't exist. Either way, I decided to never follow Him again. I hated God. I went into severe depression, and I always thought about killing myself. But I didn't because I didn't want to cause pain to my parents. So I suffered by myself.

Then things got interesting. I decided since God didn't exist, that I should explore my potentials in life. I had a guy friend(finally), and I sadly turned gay and lost my virginity to him. Not my proudest moment. Then my parents sent me to a Christian high school. This wasn't just a reformed high school, this place changed me(as you can probably see from any of my other posts).

Then life started to look up. I became a true Christian then, and became(and still am) deeply rooted in God's love. I will never back down, because I know that God loves me and has a plan for me. I wouldn't be talking to you unless I had moved now would I? I wouldn't have seen the miracles I have seen without trusting in God and letting Him work. He has a plan for me, for all your friends, and He has an awesome plan for you. Never let go.

BTW, if you like human videos(or don't know what they are), here is a few of my outreach team's videos. I'm portray Satan in the first one, and Jesus/God in the second. Hope this helps!

Go in Love, Sister(I think... I'm guessing here, lol).

Well, God does hate the planning of wickedness--it's listed as one of the seven things he hates in Proverbs 6:16-9, and it's reiterated in Zechariah 8:17 ("Do not plan any ways of harming one another. Do not give false testimony under oath. I hate lying, injustice and violence.").

He also hates the comitting of sins, because of what it says in Psalms 5:5 ("You cannot stand the sight of proud men; you hate all wicked men") and also Proverbs 6:16-9, where evil traits are listed among things God hates.

And then there's Luke 18:19. "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No-one is good--except God alone."

While my first two quotes were from the Old Testament; Jesus was not on Earth to disprove them. I will now refer to Mark 5:17. "Do not think I have come to abolish the law of the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place."

Contrary to popular myth, God doesn't listen to the prayers of sinners. "We know that God does not listen to sinners; he does listen to people who respect him and do what he wants them to do." Which is no-one, because of Luke 18:19.

Your life is easy. Man... if only my life had been that easy at your age. We all face different magnitudes of storms at different times.

If things are ever truly bad, it's because you've turned your back, and stepped off the narrow path. God sends us judgment as a way for us to either course-correct, or sit in our suffering if we're stubborn.

However, you should be grateful, your life is honestly very easy and I don't think you have anything to complain about at all.
