Ok, my friend is 14 years old and I’m 13. Anyway, last night she tried to commit suicide by shooting herself, and she also cut herself a lot. For some reason though she stopped (thank god). So, she told me that in confidence, but I was just really worried and upset so I talked to my dad. Since my dad is an EMT he said that it was his job to report this, so he told the school councilor who was most likely going to tell her parents. Anyway, when my friend told me this she said that she really didn’t want to parents to find out and that she was really worried. I almost feel like I betrayed her by telling someone, but I really don’t want her to die. I also don’t want her to find out that I told someone though because I don’t want her to be upset! Please give me some advice!

I have a friend I met a few months ago. He opened up and told me his younger brother committed suicide a long time ago. He didn’t know the reason. I can tell it is hard for him to talk about and I don’t want to say the wrong thing if the subject comes up again. I also want to understand better what he may be going through (guilt etc). Thanks

my friend has repeatedly said he wants to commit suicide and its scaring me. im not sure what i should do other than telling the counselor. he says everyone hates him, makes fun of him and hes a loser, [[a lot of ppl do make fun of him]] and he also wants to because his dad hits him at home. Please Help? Thank you so much, God bless.
