Suicide is a very sensitive issue, and sometimes just being with someone without saying a word helps in great ways. Let me pretend that you are your friend so I can speak to you directly. Perhaps then you can just forward this message of help....
Dear Chrissy,
Don't let things that are beyond your control change the way that you look at life. Life is something to be celebrated, not extinguished. No matter how difficult or unreasonable things may seem, there is always something bright on which you may focus. So many times in my life the thought of suicide passed through my head. And just as many times, I've seen how good I have things and how thankful I should be for having them.
How thankful I am for having my eyesight, so that I may see al the beautiful colors in this world!
How thankful I am for the use of my arms and legs, so that I can run around in a circle throwing my arms into the air and landing in a nice big pile of leaves in the Autumn!
How thankful I am for the ability to speak and understand people, for there are so many restricted to a life to a wheelchair where their only concept is feeding time
How thankful I am for being in a country where someone else can protect me from outside enemies, and I can stay in the comfort of my own home!
How thankful I am for my pets, who give me so much love, and who comfort me when I am alone!
How thankful I am for food and water, when others around the world are dying from starvation, and literally wilting away under the desert sun in Africa!
There are so many things to be thankful for. It is most important to know that you are not alone, and that you have a friend to talk to. If your parents are not your most comfortable source in which to confide, perhaps an uncle or teacher or even a neightbor can help. And if you are a Christian, then please remember that God is watching over you and He will give you the strength and guidance if you just ask for it.
I really hopes this helps, because I believe every life I can influence in a positive way will make our world a better place in which to live. We could all use it, especially with all the bad things which surround us. Be a shining light, and shed away the darkness of your soul.

Friends don't let friends hurt themselves. Think about how awful you would feel if something terrible happens and you could have prevented it. You must tell someone in a position to help your friend to get the help she needs to cope with her problems. Be a part of the solution, not part of the problem. Don't wait...or it might be too late!

There are suicide hot lines/counselors out there to help. If she is a real friend, then she will still be a friend even if you speak to her parents. If not, you have still possibly saved a life. Talk to your parents as well for advice.

If you care about her then you will tell someone. You wouldn't want it on your conscience if something happened to her. If you don't want to directly tell someone, many police stations have websites where you can report something. You could e-mail a school counsoler. It dosen't have to be her parents. And in the end if she knows that you did it and is mad, then give her time to adjust. Anything is better that death.

You have to tell her parents. She may not want to talk to you for awhile but at least she'll be alive. Suicide is a serious matter and she obviously has been attempting to kill herself. If she doesn't get help she will suceed.
