dont worry I'm not going to do anything that stupid and selfish. But one of my friends is going through something that I dont think I can help him with. What is the number so I can give it to him...maybe they can help him....??

Any phone book should tell you. Depends on where you're located.

I'm glad to see that there are people who will recognize potential suicide warning signs and get real help for their friends before it's too late. Good for you.
Here are some numbers you may want to use:
Suicide Help Lines ( http://www.befrienders.org/ ): The Befrienders site is an online directory of suicide prevention hotlines in the United States and around the world. You can find a local line through this site.
National Hope Line: Teens can call 1-800-SUICIDE at any time to be connected with a local suicide counseling center.
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Teens can call 1-800-273-TALK to reach a federally funded suicide prevention hotline.
Samaritans Email Helpline: Teens who feel more comfortable with virtual communication can email jo@samaritans.org confidentially. They should receive a response within 24 hours. Email help might be a good option if your friend is hesitant about calling a regular hotline.

Right now, call your friend and give them this number. 1 800 273 TALK(8255) (this is if you are in the U.S.) These people will get him help. Take any threat of suicide seriously and don't wait around. If your friend refuses to call, then call on their behalf to get a local counsellor.
