Feeling despondent and hopeless

Q: I am suffering with a lot of pressure and I also have alot of problems. My family is not that family who has peace. We will never have peace only if Allah wills.

I lost two of my friends, meaning they stopped talking to me. I feel like I did something wrong which I didn't. They make me feel unworthy to live. I feel ugly. I feel like nobody loves me anymore. I don't know what to do please help me as I might just kill myself.

Muqtadi making salaam immediately after the imaam makes salaam

Q: Should a muqtadi make salaam after the Imaam has completed both sides salaam or should he make salaam afer the Imaam turns his head towards the right and then after the Imaam turns his head to left the we follow the Imaam, as we normally do?

Some people in Saudia told me that I should wait until the Imaam is done with salam on both sides then make salaam. Which method is correct?
