Sometimes though his negativity is hard to deal with since he always claims that I am "too good" for him which I don't believe and I constantly mention that he's great. He is amazing and I think the best of him but I don't know how to convince him. Reply to this Question

Sounds like he has a touch of very mild depression. The first symptom of which is just this incredibly sure feeling that you are utterly rubbish and useless and people would be better off with out you.
It's pretty common at your age as your hormones are all over the place. He doesn't need drugs or anything at this stage, just to get out and do something fun. He probably wouldn't even realise that it wasn't a normal feeling, because it is so mild.
Go running / swimming with him. The chemicals released by exercise will get rid of the bad ones making him feel crap. Do something outside. Even a walk by the river will help as fresh air and being cold will force his body to burn up energy to warm him up.
Borrow a dog from somewhere and get out and about. Build a snowman if you have any snow around.
Just try it and I bet you'll see a difference in him pretty quickly.
Good Luck!! xx
