Depression Treatment Care

I have been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder when i was 13 years old, i am actually 18 years old right now and i still live with my parents. Recently, i have been having some depression that started out as little and turn into manic depression now, i feel very depressed sometimes for no reason. I would be happy for an moment and then i would suddenly be all sad and feeling depressed all of a sudden. I don’t even have a girlfriend even though i always wanted one, it seems like no girls is intrested in me. Every year on my birthday i always make a wish that i could please have a girlfriend, but it never seems to come true. I look around and i see everyone has someone and i don’t, it hurts my heart a lot. I feel very sad and i think that it would be better if i wasn’t here on this earth. Would i be better of being dead ?? What do you think i should do of my depression that is caused from my bi-polar disorder ?? I tried every remedy at home but it is not working, my parents are afraid of me being put in a mental institution permanently. Can anyone please help me out ???
