Depression and anxiety set in, and he felt like he could no longer deal with his emotions and feelings. He told his parents that he identifies with being a boy and decided to change his name to David. At that moment, life started making sense. Happiness set in like he had never experienced and with his parents and sisters support, David has finally found comfort in his life choice as transgender. Part of the "Teens 101" series.
