<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Mt boyfriend recently switched colleges, to the college I attend, and he's miserable. He isn't makin any friends and he mopes around in his room all day, griping about how much better his life was at his last school. His parents forced him to transfer to a four year university. 

I try to get him to join clubs or get a job or a rec league of a sport or something! However, he always shoots me down by saying that it isn't his "thing". I've tried as best I could but he refuses to do anything really and it's gotten to the point where he thinks he has depression. His depression disappears over breaks though when he's home with his old college friends. 

His parents won't let him leave, so therefore I tell him to try to make the best of his situation here. Whenever I talk to him about this though he just gives me one word answers or silence until I just become so furious. I'm trying to help him and I give him dozens of options to try to make his miserable reality a slight bit better. Then he just says he's sorry and then collapses mentally basically. He does this during anything serious at all. Whether it be his future or his education  or slightly sad things. He just completely stops functioning. I used to say "Hey it's ok, I know it's tough." But now, it sends me into a rage because he won't help himself and he won't let me help him! I feel like I shouldn't be mad at him but I am. How do I approach this a different way? Please I want to help him find his way here.
<bot>: my boyfriend always shuts down when we have serious conversations and it's driving me insane! I need to learn to do something other than be angry. Help!
