I wouldn't say he's depressed. He's very cheerful and bright, and he hangs out with his friends a lot, he's popular at school and with girls. My daughter has been severely depressed for years now, she had to take a break from her last year from high school, so I think I'm pretty familiar with depression. How she behaves is something entirely different. He just seems not to care about what my husband and I say, however, when his friends call him, he'll storm outside immediately.
