   Tell someone. Tell a teacher or anyone that can help him, and try your best to convince him otherwise. If you know him and he might actually do it, this is serious. GET HELP! sorry for caps, this is just serious stuff and if you don’t do something he might die and you might be partially responsible. he needs serious help and quick.

2. SurfingLisa, June 29, 2010:

   You need to tell his parents. PERIOD. If he gets mad at you then so be it, better you lose a freind than he lose his life. TELL HIS PARENTS. PRIVATELY. And dont apologize for it.

   LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

   take him out and have a good time, thats what he needs. yes, he does take things too literally. getting so jealous that it makes you want to cut yourself is going too far there. does the bestfriend know that he likes her? thats what i want to know..

5. momoz, June 29, 2010:

   get him som therapy and tell his parents…
   he mus seriously like da chick

6. Brianna, June 29, 2010:

   get his mind off of it..i had a friend that slit their wrists always. I was scared she would kill herself she got over it

7. Nicholas J, June 29, 2010:

   Yup better tell someone.

   Seriously this is equivalent to if you saw a building on fire and came to Yahoo Answers to ask what you should do…. you’d prolly call the fire department.

   There are currently and have been millions if not billions of friends in the same situation as you two. You guys aren’t stranded on a desert island. The longer all this stays a big secret the more freaky and dramatic it will become.

   you MUST tell a trusted adult!!
   call one of those teen helplines and see what they tell you.
   he should really see a school counselor. if he doesnt get this out, he could really kill himself.

   or, you could try talking to him. tell him how selfish suicide is. sure, you’re getting rid of your problems, but you’re causing so much more for others. what about his family? what are they gonna do without him? his friends? his classmates?

   best of luck!! don’t let him slip through your fingers and make a life changing mistake.

   Often sucide isnt always thought all the way through, but i know what you mean. hearing that type of thing often puts people INTO sucide. First thing is, you might want to try explaining to him…how much he means to you and everyone else, and that he cant just throw EVERYTHING away for a girl. I guartnee you years from now..he’ll be crazy about a different one. That you cant let little things like that ruin your life. Think of how many people miss their dead realtives and friends..and then they re’s people out there who WANT to die? He shouldnt give up…the award will be nothing, but everyone else suffering. One of my friends moms commited sucide, and it will drive EVERYONE crazy thinking ” i COULD have done something”..” i could have said something”..” its ALLLLL my fault”. And it can push other people into sucide. Tell him some of the things i’ve told you, and just talk with him for hours and be there for him, because he needs you more then ever. Its important you explain to him how much value he is too you, because at this point he feels worthless.

   I hope i helped and that everything works out.
   I’ve dealt with this kind of thing before..alot.
   Tell him to do things that make him happy, etc.
   Good Luck.

    He contacted you because he wanted you to give him a reason why he shouldn’t. if he really wanted to commit suicide, why does he have to tell you? He just wants attention.

    taking your own life over a girl who does not have any feelings for you in that way seems like a waste. because she will still be here dating the same guy. nothing about it is going to change. tell him this or show him this question so he can read every advice.

    he has to learn that hes not going to get everything in life. if there is something he wants, for example this girl but she’s taken, he has to accept that! there is nothing he can do. and he can’t force her to like him.

11. killre, June 29, 2010:

    If your that worried about it just stop it yourself. Do something like go to his house and talk to him, or you could get a psychiatric facility notified or something, but when your a teenager sometimes you always look for the worst possibly thing, even if that is completely impossible. so my advice would be to try to rough him up a bit and as a side note you could always try seducing him.

12. Dick Anus, June 29, 2010:

    yo you need to tell him hes bein a little b.itch tell him to suck it up hes being a pansy if hes gonna kill himself over that shit hes just a little pus

13. AznAustin, June 29, 2010:

    Wow.. I think he’s going through depression obviously.. He needs some counseling real quick. Just talk about the good times you had with him all your life and maybe he’ll laugh back at those memories. Get him another girlfriend *COUGHS* maybe someone *HACKING* like a *BARF* best friend.

14. BOMB CHERRY (:, June 29, 2010:

    dude, Comfort him
    and if he still wants to committe suicide
    its his life
    u cant stop him

15. Rosqro, June 29, 2010:

    Okay, #1, sweetheart, if anything happens, this is 100% and totally not your fault.
    Okay. First, tell him that you’re so scared and that you really don’t want him to kill himself. You need to make sure he understands that you really care and that he’s not alone. Try to figure out what’s really going on- I am almost 80% positive that he would not kill himself because of teen crap like that, there’s probably something else. And even if it seems everything’s okay, you need to stop letting him keep this quiet. I know it’s awkward for teenagers, but you HAVE TO TELL HIS PARENTS. It doesn’t matter if he says that it wouldn’t help, it doesn’t matter if he tells you not to. I am totally into the whole, “I need his trust so that if something major happens he’ll tell me.” That is my freaking motto. But this is something major. And if he’s been doing this for a while (especially the cutting- an accident there and he could end up dead, even if he’s not suicidal at the moment) it is extremely important. You need to not be in this alone. You need to get other people in on this who care about it.

    *hug* and good luck

    It sounds like he feels out of control and this is a sign that he is a controlling person who will do whatever it takes to get his way with her. I would not even tell your friend about it however i would tell his parents right now if he has none then i would call suicide hot line and ask them what you can do to insure his safety, does he have a gun permit? If not you could ask the cops what you should do and they can investigate and perhaps intervene. It is not fair to say such things to you. You are not responsible for his failure to understand that the friend he loves loves him not. he is really hurting you. If you are a god lover please pray and if not then try what i said but this is about you more than him because if he decides to do this thing No one can stop him. You are not responsible, get others involved just not the one he is obsessed with for it may be he might do harm to her instead of himself. Even ted bundy’s friends did not know what he was really like , be careful dear, this is not right for you to have to deal with without help.

17. Becky, June 29, 2010:

    Tell him about all the fun in life he had. Tell him that if he killed himself that all of that would go away, about how everyone would feel when he was gone. And if that doesn’t work tell someone. ANYONE!!! His parents, show your parents that he is not kidding, (scream at them if you have to) anybody… its not worth killing himself over a girl that he loves. It will end everything if he pulls the trigger!!

18. [insert name here], June 29, 2010:

    you really, REALLY need to tell someone that can help him, whether he wants you to or not. Don’t tell him he’s just being silly or anything like that, because he might think you don’t take him seriously.. and he’s in a tough place right now. just take extra time to hang out together, have a good time to try and get the bad things off his mind. show him how good life can be, that theres a light at the end of every tunnel.. if he sees a psychiatrist or a doctor or something, they may also be able to give him some sort of medication as well..all you can do is show him that there’s people there for him and that care for him, and to tell a responsible adult, his parents are a good idea.. remember that whatever happens, it’s not your fault.. you did everything you could to help. goodluck!
