I've been going out with my boyfriend for 7 months. We're both 14 and he's my first bf. For a while things were great, but lately, there have been times where he's with his friends and me at the same time and he acts like a jerk. When I started talking to him about it, I realized that he has no self confidence whatsoever. He started saying that the only reason he has friends is because he's funny and he's funny by being a jerk so if he changed he wouldn't have any friends. Then the conversation progressed into the fact that high school is pointless becuase he's not smart enough, won't get into college, will end up with a really bad job or no job and will be a failure in life. He says he's made too many mistakes and he's just not good at anything. He thinks that there's nothing to look foward to in life besides eventually getting old and dying. I've always been a determined and optimistic person and I try so hard to talk some sense into him and get him to enjoy life but its not working. I think it's the way his parents raised him. He's just kind of accepted that he'll never amount to anything. He's always afraid that I'm going to realize what a failure he is and break up with him. I just don't know what to do. It makes me sad that anybody would feel that way about life, especially someone I care about. What can I do? (link)

this sounds like a problem i deal with...depression or worse...suicidal. Talk to an adult that you trust and maybe get him some counseling. Sorry if this doesn't work

Thank you for your help. I don't know it it's that serious yet. I know two years ago he was depressed for a little while but I think he's better. He's not usually like that, it's just in our conversation I kind of got worried. Thank you though I appreciate your help.
