Just be the best friend you can be to him. When the time is right he will tell you what is bothering him. He may not be sure how you will react to his situation being that the way the other 3 ppl have reacted to his problem. Just be a good friend to him and listen to him when he needs someone to talk to.

tell him that when he decides to talk about it that u will be there for him and do not push the issue. Tell him that sucside is a perement solution to a temporary problem, that every problem has a answer but that is not one of them. don't feel bad cause he won't tell u because maybe he feels that u r his best friend and what he did is bad in his eyes and he feels that if he tells u that he would lose u as his friend. So just be there and suggest that since u r both young that he seek a teen counselor they will help and once he starts to talk about it he will feel better. Good luck and god bless.

Im 14 and I used to be suicidal (still am- just not as bad) and I USED TO cut. From personal experience, what helped is knowing that people noticed. My mom found out and she got me into group therapy, with my cousin (who is like a sister to me and was also suicidal) I am shy and reserved so I couldnt do one on one therapy, as I cant trust people that much. Group therapy helps and I recommend you tell his parents how he is and get him help immediately. He may act like he didnt appreciate you 'ratting out' on him, but when he is better and you see his smile, both of you will know that it was worth it.

well sometimes its helps just to let them know how you feel he knows that you are his friend but there something more to it you can tell that you should go to www.depreesion.com and read about it and try to get him to go there are some stuff on there that might help him but sometimes it just the way you feel and you dont know why trust me i'm going though it myself good luck with your friend i hope everthing works out for you that could be a long road

he's a daddy... maybe. but anyways... if he doesnt want you to know, then dont pressure him. as for his thoughts about suicide, tell him that either he can accept comfort and support from you or you're going to have to tell someone. and follow through too... though you may lose a friend, its better than him dieing and at least you helped him...maybe he will thank you later. and listen to him! dont give advice unless he asks for it. just be there for him and encourage him and he will probably pull through. just teen angst.

Have you talked to his parents? This situation sounds out of your control and I think he needs professional help. Him telling you his secret is not going to make it all better, so I would quit prying, it will just make it harder for him. Speak with his parents, or your parents if you are concerned for him, and try to get him to get his parents to get him into counseling. Good luck to you!

"Soul Mates and Twin Flames," Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and "Sacred Psychology of Love: The Quest for Relationships that Unite Heart and Soul," Marilyn Barrick, Ph.D., might help.
