Supporting boyfriend with Depression.
18/F
My boyfriend has been very depressed for a while. It's mostly because of the way his parents treat him. They're constantly pressuring him to go into the military (even though he doesn't want to) and they're always calling him a failure, an idiot, dumb, etc.
The other day I talked to his mom about how they can stop pressuring him so much and to stop with the name calling.
Well, last night my boyfriend and his dad got into a physical fight and his parents kicked him out.
What are some things I can do to help my boyfriend feel complete, happy, and worthy?
Thank you!

Reassure him that this issue isn't his problem or something that he caused. His father is volatile and violent despite all that. They have issues but he's the victim of that abuse.
What else can you do? Well, you can tell your parents exactly what is happening to your boyfriend and ask for assistance. They can give him support and likely find a safe place for him to stay which may or may not be with you.
At the same time you can tell a teacher or guidance counselor but odds are they will want to consult outside agencies and police over the physical altercation. Definitely talk to your folks about what they think can be done and let the adults take over to resolve this.

Even he's your boyfriend to be honest there isn't much you can do. Though you should report his parents for physical abuse if you think it was bad enough and if they do it often. You can talk to him and your parents and see if they'll take him in. If not then he can live on his own away from all that, find a job, and support himself. i hope i helped and hope everything works out.
