   From my experience if someone is genuinely going to commit suicide they won’t tell anyone but it still shouldn’t be ignored as it’s a cry for help. You should remind your friend that no matter what is going on around her that she still has the most important thing in the world, herself. As long as she has herself she can do anything.She’s also lucky to have you as a friend. Maybe plan something to do together where you can enjoy yourselves and just forget about everything else, there’s a lot out there.

   This is a hard topic to talk about and so very scarey and dangerous that sometimes no body wants to get involved with the situation. First of all I would take your friends threats of killing herself very seriously, and try to get her help. The signs, only some of them, of a suicidal person are, change in personallity, withdrawn and can’t concentrate, change in eating habits, feelings of guilt, losing a loved one or someone close to them, suicidal tendencies and previous attempts. Your friend needs to try to understand that there is something in her life worth living for, I know that sounds lame but it’s the truth. It’s easier to get help for her if she is cooperative and knows that she can get help with whatever feelings she is feelings. If you can get her to understand that there is help out there for her and she is willing to get the help then the danger is less than if she is being stubborn and secreative. If she is unwilling to look for help then you have your work cut out for you. The reason that people don’t seem to care is because, they are just as scared of suicide as anyone else and one of the myth statements is that If the person says she/he will do it then they won’t. Far from the truth.
   I hope this helps. I will say a prayer for you and for your friend.

   well, tell her that shes an important person to you and that you need her, well at times, things don’t work out for me either and im all mad about thinking about suicide…but then i have a friend tell me that i am important to them and they show me why im important…like i help ppl w/ problems, and i help people with HW and im always there…like..tell your friends things she needs to hear abt herself like GOOD things…

   look to you and your friend it may look like you are over reacting and that you are taking thing way to out of hand but its never too much when it comes to a situation like this first of all go the police station and let them know what your friend told you now listen here cuz that can get you on her bad side but she definitely needs to get some help she has problems and needs more than just someone to talk to at this point once she is out of this she will thank you trust me professional help is what you need to be getting her im not sure of your age but if you are young talk to your parents too get them involve and have them help you contact the police asap….good luck my best wishes to you and friend

   I have tryed before and I really know what its like to be on the friend part too. tell your friend that you want her to live and she does have something to live for. There are other fish in the sea that might actually be cuter. But you’ll never know if your dead and in hell.

6. deadcatg, December 6, 2009:

   kill her yourself dont let her go through it all alone

7. smoke-a-, December 6, 2009:

   LOL wow, you’re pretty bad at english, huh……

8. scott b, December 6, 2009:

   tell her parents, call the local police department and tell them. she may hate you for it, but it will be worth saving her life.

9. LoriBeth, December 6, 2009:

   thats sad, take her out to the movies or something but don’t let her be alone. talk to her and tell her that he is not worth it and that she’s better of without him. good luck.

10. lis, December 6, 2009:

    suicide is natural selection at work. weed out the week ones i always say. if she has money make sure you get some of it.

11. christian g, December 6, 2009:

    well my answer is that ive been there before and its a rough time but if talking to her doesnt work then juss tell her parents or have an intervention before 9 or as earlier as possible so itll help her b4 she tries helping herself……..

12. T-WZZLE, December 6, 2009:

    alright what you want to do is tell her exactly who shell be hurting and bring up friends little siblings if any and YOU if that doesn’t work then you’d have to tell a trusted adult then they’ll take care of it and you can leave it anonymous

13. babiigir, December 6, 2009:

    Do everything in your power to stop her, if that means calling the police to have her locked up im an institute,m than that’s what you need to do. You need to make it clear to this girl that you’re there for her and loosing a guy isn’t the end of the world. Besides, someone as nice, kind ( name off some of her good qualitites) could have another guy like that in a minute. If she’s tried to commit suicide before, then it sounds like she has depression. As hard as it may be for you, you need to get some sort of help for her, tell her parents, doctor, whatever! She may end up needing medication and counseling. Also, point out all the good times and good things in life to her, like, if she killed herself, she wouldn’t be able to do blank or see blank ever again. Let her know that you love her and she doesn’t need a guy to complete her. Please hunny, it may be hard, but you need to yake this to a higher power. Sometimes I feel like killing myself, but if I had someone who I knew genuinely cared, ‘s reconsider. I honestly wish you and your friend the best of luck, please get back to me through yahoomail and tell me how it went. You know, a friend of mine’s father just killed himself 2 days before Christmas eve, so I’m familiar with this type of situation, please, please take my advice. And if she has a drug problem, get her into some kind of clinic. Even if you manage to prevent her from killing herself tonight, that doesn’t mean you’re homefree, you still need to get her medically assessed and help her to get proper treatment. Depression doesn’t go away overnight. Good luck!

    call the police or be there with her. see if she will get some counseling or something…

15. cArTeR, December 6, 2009:

    Call an ambulance & make a “mental hygene” arrest. She will then be on her way to recovery.Do it NOW.

16. zzHoUnDz, December 6, 2009:

    Try admitting her.

17. Sweetari, December 6, 2009:

    well, you gonna need to call her parents and let them know what going on and also let them know to cal 50/51 and police to go save her… here the plm. if she said where did you get the idea of me going to commit suicide?? then you will have bad rep. looking at you. and if she said it again to you twice that she going to commit suicide and let it go and you not responable for her life and if she did for real then her parents would come to you and said so sorry for not believe you. YOu can tell them well you made that choice.

18. greenbay, December 6, 2009:

    as her friend it is your duty to be there for her. after all we all need that little voice on our shoulder that says “JUMP!” i’d say get a big bottle of pills and some vodka or maybe just a noose. start marking the stuff of hers you really like. since your women i’d imagine clothing and shoes will be top priority. if she has trouble pulling the trigger or cutting her wrists or however she wants to do it. i’d say bring this bf who broke up with her and make out with him while she watches. he won’t mind and if your a real friend you won’t either. the important part is the suicide note, once she is dead you must change it to read “i have AIDS, i’m a whore, i wish i were dead.” then you need to hang her body in the closet, it may take quite a few hangers but beleive me it’s worth it. then cut her chest open and pull her heart out, fry it up and eat it to gain whatever small measure of power she had.
    suicide people piss me off, their better off dead not stinking up my world

19. nightmar, December 6, 2009:

    just be with her the whole night and talk with her about that life isn’t over yet. There will always be rough parts in our lives. And shes just going through it. But the one thing she needs to do is show she has power by picking herself up and moving on. Also tell her about how shes better than the guy she just broke up with.

20. ryan6030, December 6, 2009:

    Tell her it’s not worth it, and there will be other guys for her to be with. Tell her about her future, and if it really is bad, call 1-800-SUICIDE

21. Emily J, December 6, 2009:

    she probably won’t do it and she just wants attention. if she does do it, then she is extremely selfish, caring nothing about those she leaves behind.

22. TomSawye, December 6, 2009:

    Tell a grown up!! Have them stop her. She is in deep depression now. She needs therapy. Don’t try and talk her out of it yourself. Tell an adult. She might be mad at you for telling, but later on she’ll probably thank you. May God bless and protect you.
