text: i love my boyfriend to bits i am 19 and so is he but hes depressed how can i help him i scared he will dump me   can you just talk 2 him and find out what he's depressed about?  if you just act like his best friend he'll tell you whats going on.  be there for him and assure him that he can say anything to you and you will never make fun of him or laugh.  don't be scared.  it'll work out for the best.
