Depression - Teen Support Group
Teen depression is marked by persistent sadness, discouragement, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in usual activities. Depression can be a temporary response to many situations and stresses. Teens may be more susceptible to depression due to the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, and conflicts with parents as they become more independent.
That being said, if you truly believe he is a good guy and you really do like him, go for it. BUT take it very slowly. Try to listen to him objectively, without too much feeling, and see if he is manipulating you. Don't ever let him (or anyone else) pressure you into things you aren't ready for. He can ruin your reputation too.
Follow your heart while you can, but ALWAYS trust your instincts.
