Ngaww , this seems like a pretty hard situation you’re in ,
honestly you can help him , but personally you need to be trustworthy
understanding and there for him , this may be due to bad past experiences , heartbreak , bullying . Depression doesn’t occur overnight , he may be in pain or mentallydepressed , you need to talk to him , listen to him . Firstly when you listen to him , don’t judge or criticize him because eg. He says he doesn’t get any girls and it hurts him , don’t just be like , ‘ dude stop okay , its only chicks , they stupid’ , be sympathetic and understanding , listen to him , don’t butt ( is that the word? ) in when hes talking , comfort him be there for him , firstly make yourself someone that is not out to get him , be there for him , a friend , don’t leave him when hes in a bad situation he will feel even more helpless , though you may not have to be involved in all his problems , it is you volunteering to help him which is awesome , tell him about his talents and things thats you like about him and the great qualities about him , and don’t try to say the negative things about him eg. To tell him why no girls like him . Good luck but its good to be a good listener and don’t give up on him , because if you weren’t there he would be deeper in a hole than before
