Rejection is never an easy thing to receive. It can lead, as it has for you, to depression, and leave lasting scars and deep resentment. And it is difficult in this estate to see beyond the pain to Christ. But it is in a deep and abiding relationship with Him that healing becomes possible.
I know there exists within you a torment that doesn't go away. There is no salve that exists that will reach your pain. There is no anesthetic that can ease this ache. Regardless of what you try, there is no earthly remedy.
So what hope exists? Your answer is found in the Lord Jesus Christ. So how do you access Him? There is no particular way. You just get alone and ask Him to come and help you. I don't know exactly how He will come to you. But I do know He will come.
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit...Psalm 34:18
I'll be praying for you.

The Lord will not reject you.
Once you have that assurance, He has said, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee."

Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.

I don't have all the details other than that which you provided, so this will be short and hopefully helpful. Do the following and at best it will be and at worst it will do no harm.
1. Get the focus OFF of yourself and ON the Lord and on helping others.
A. Read the Psalms every morning and the gospel of John each evening. One or more chapters of each and mark it on your calendar as a completed daily goal.
B. Don't focus on your sister or whatever you are upset over. It won't change them or the situation. It'll only make it harder on you and paralyze your ability to be all that God wants you to be and do. OK, you know she's done wrong and is a hopeless cause. However, it sounds like you care about your nephew. How many nephews would want an uncle to be a positive role model or mentor in their lives?
I know I did. I regret that it wasn't sooner in life. He's a kid, so he won't initiate it. YOU must be the adult and leader by offering that which your sister will never do, even if you never talk again to her. Get the nephew OFF the video games and doing adult masculine stuff like going to all the gyms in your area. Call ahead and make a list of those who offer a free guest try out session. It might be a week. Go to those and spot for each other. Lift weights after warm ups. Push him to the limit. You both will feel better and forget about the motherly put downs. Martial arts schools sometimes offer freebies as a way to try to see if you like it too. I've given away more free classes than you'd believe.
2. Sit down with a lunch and a notebook.
Have him write his accomplishments and any jobs he's worked, even if volunteer tasks at school. If he was a coaches assistant or library aid, he needs to list names. He needs to call his school teachers, previous bosses and get permission to use as references. He needs all the contact info they want to provide along with their titles and brief job descriptions. Then you don't leave it there. You ask him questions about the things he hasn't considered. Skills he gained in shop. Equipment experience and projects he's accomplished. If he's had none, then YOU can provide that experience in your own shop or whatever you are good at. He then needs a format from the internet to develop a good resume' . Plug in his information and put it on a thumb drive. Call him at least twice a week and pray for him and with him. You lead in prayer and pick him up to get him active in the goals you help him set. Keep it all positive and Eventually it might turn into a routine.
3. You said something about court and tickets. You can coach him on how you would handle it. He SHOULD fight them and try to negotiate them down with the judge. It will be frustrating, but that's the system. It's probably just expired stickers or something. If its things that endangered anyone, you aught to hold him very accountable since it may get worse and be more than a hearing in the future. He should ask after the verdict if he can pay a small amount and then payments after he can find a job and put aside enough after his paychecks start coming in. He needs to tell him that he's a broke teen and in highschool. He might find a minimum wage position.
4. Help him with the adult support of a good uncle and he will be less likely to hang out with the riff raff his age or get discouraged.
Work out together THREE times per week. Don't buy junk like soft drinks. Those are for soy boys who want to stay flabby.
Drink water and throw veggies and fruit in a blender for smoothies for you guys. Teach him skills that will help him in life. The highschool will teach calculus, but not how to balance a check book or run a business.
5. If it were ME that were depressed, I'd take a good quality multiple vitamin and Eat avocados with a healthy dose of vitamin D3 daily for starts. Many people find that mega B complex of a quality company does them good. I don't know anything about you, so I will not suggest what you should do health wise, not do I assume any responsibility.
I left a list of things that would help me if I were depressed and look forward to hearing from you.
To your health and happiness!

"Let us pray to understand, an individual's depression most likely surrounds family or friends
or perhaps job related. And I know family issues often being the toughest, believe it!
I have learned my heartaches concerning loved ones are not easy to bear. And by the grace of
God, I have been allowed the strength and hope to accept things I can't change, especially when
the loved one lives far away in another state. (Grandson was in drug rehab in Az. and left and back on street.)
'I can only pray to God for his wellbeing. Yes, it hurts, and I know how my life was wrecked from
alcohol, I brought it on myself and my family. Let us pray to realize substance abuse wrecks and rips
the heart out of many involved. And unlimited reasons such life disturbances take place, but it
is a dilemma far and wide.
'Whatever one is deeply concerned about should be confronted with love, patience and acceptance
to the best of one's ability. And I know my bond with my higher power has greatly helped me in times
of great disturbances, and with God as my mentor, I intend to endure...Thank you, Lord!
'I thank God every day for this spiritual consciousness, and I pray for the intended one here, to know
a deep spiritual awareness may well be closer than realized.
'I pray of your 'quiet time' to allow the Holy Spirit to fill you with a tingling sensation from head to foot
with a glow of warmth, comfort, peace of self and the feeling of never-ending strength and the will to
endure all disturbances and to know it will end and hope with God being powerful, believe it!
AND IT WORKS, SO LONG AS YOU WORK AT IT... BELIEVE IT! I CAN ATTEST TO THIS TRUTH.!
LET GO, LET GOD HELP!
'I pray the words are seen and heard...and know all is well.'
'Amen'
'Praise God'......I Am you...You are I

P
The important thing is that you are being a friend. Particularly to Anthony and that is really nice of you. But pray you get your strength to continue being that friend. You and Anthony's situation is similar like mine was when I was a teen. I didn't really appreciate my two aunts that were 'trying' to help me at the time it was going on but maybe you have a better chance with Anthony by you praying about it.
