If you want true love, it's gonna take patience. The grass isn't greener on the other side. If your friends are really changing lovers every month, that's likely to be a lot of pain going along with it as well.
The fact is, as a teenager, you are still very much trying to figure out exactly who you are, which is why relationships in high-school generally don't last. It's because most of the time the person you get into a relationship with when you were younger, grows into a completely different person that they used to be, shocking both of you.
It's much wiser to start getting into relationships when your age group has a more holistically sound and solid identity. That's not to say that you can't defy the odds, and find someone in your teens who you could be with for years down the line, but if you're gonna go that route, you have to be really careful.
So yeah, it's quite normal. No need to rush into trying to get into a relationship. Start off slowly observing to see who might have the same interests and values, try to just take things slow by becoming friends, get to know them, letting the friendship grow, and maybe it might turn into something you'll both love.

It's totally normal not to be with anyone at 16. It can feel like everyone is in relationships and getting older super fast, and you're being left behind. But I promise that you don't need to rush into anything to find the right person.
I started dating my first girlfriend at 18, and we're still together now, while everyone who was in relationships at school have all broken up now. Let it happen when it happens
Well right person will find soon... don't date just because other are dating
