Please, you won't find the answer here. Call professional help: Doctor, nurse, hospital,... and they will direct you to the correct resource. This is NOT the place here to get answer for matter like suicide. No matter how compassionate people may be here, distress signals have to be dealt with care.

Telll him that there is a 52 old who came very close and would have had it not been for a good friend. I lived and I met the love of my life, I moved to another town and have found happiness that I would never have known otherwise. Tell him that nothing stays the same for very long and there are doors out there for him to open. Tell him that it will devestate you. Tell him to put if off a while longer. Then see how he feels about it. Give him a little something to help him sleep and watch him throughout the night. Be there for him tomorrow.

As scared as you must be, I have found that most people who are actually going to commit suicide don't announce it first...on the chance that it is not just a threat, all you can really do is keep an eye on him, he is an adult and the authorities will not step in unless he is underage and a threat to either himself or others... it's hard to give advice when it comes to someone else's life....but I wish you the best....

First, I am so sorry to hear this. Your 19-year old is crying for help, and doesn't know how to ask. When your 19-year old says this, you need to be very sensitive and talk to them. Ask them open ended questions. Before doing that let them know how you feel about it - but focus on them as well. Let them know they are good, smart, and you love them - daily! Get help together. I am not sure how to answer this but you cannot ignore this.

1. Get off the computer
2. Try talking to him about what's bothering him and making him feel this way.
3. Call a hotline, numbers in the phone book it's toll free they can help
4. If it really is serious (it probably is) than take him to the Emergency Room at the hospital
5. Get him help through councelling

911 will not do what is best, all they will do is lock him up, or put him in the hospital where he wont get the help he needs. call 1-800-448-3000. this is the number for girls and boys town usa. the hot line number (that i just gave you) will have some one who can realy help on the other end. you can call with any problem any time. they are glad to help.

I don't know if involving police is a good idea. Might force him over the edge. You might call a hotline to find out what works.

Does he have friends? If not, find out what he likes to do. Then find someone that can help you identified groups or associations outside of school and his neighborhood where kids that share his interests might meet. For example, if he likes Star Trek, take him to a Star Trek Convention - anywhere he can meet lots of people like him.
But seek advise from a suicide hotline immediately!!!

Hi! i'am 19 years old also and i've been thinking about suicide myself because theres alot of stress coming from each part of life. but i didnt i am scared of death. but anyway i think maybe your son has a deep problem. maybe hes just afraid to tell you how he feels. ask what his problem is and tell him that u know that hes going through alot of stress and depression and that you've been there. tell him it wont help any of his problems at all if he ended it like that. If he decided to kill himself let him think of the love ones he will leave like you. I suggest that you be more open on topics like homosexuality, drug abuse, or molestation because alot of teens including me deals with this problem. i hope i helped you!

You can't be serious. Anyone in their right mind, including you, I think, wouldn't waste there time posting a question like that on a Yahoo messgae board! I hope that if someone you were with suddenly was having a heart attack, your response wouldn't be "hold on while I go post a question on Yahoo to see what I should do."

when people want to kill themselves they dont make threats. Firt off, is your relationship with your son good or bad, and did you just have a fued, because it might just be something he said to scare you and upset you. If he is always depressed and has no friends and is always alone then I think you have something to worry about. but I have said I was goona kill myself before and even though it is horrible to say. I would never think about it. I just did it out of spite once, when I had a really bad fight with my parents.
