I would talk to that person, and try as best as I could to work out the situation. You can not take suicide lightly, because if that person were to kill themselves you would live with the guilt for the rest of your life.

You can call the police on that person. That is a manipulative tactic. You do not have to deal with that. People with a condition called boarder line personality do that. Call the police or if you are in school report this to your school principal, teacher or counselor. You do not have to talk to her. It is not your problem. If you are her parent you need to take her to the emergency room.
If you are not in school with her you are going to need as much info as possible on her. Give the police her 1st and last name, her home address, where she works, her age any thing you can so they can find her and protect her. If she has said how she is going to do this then tell them that. Usually police offices have non emergency numbers you can call in all the details. You do not need to deal with this personally. You do not have the skills to deal with this. You need a doctor or counsellor to deal with a suicide threat. This is too complicated for a regular person. Yes she will be upset, but she will have to learn not to threaten this because it is too serious.

Call someone who can talk to her. Maybe her parents or her best friend. If you do continue to speak to her, she will learn that by using the suicide card, she is controlling you. Most people that threaten such a thing, would never really do so. It's the quiet ones you have to worry about.

Get someone to tell her you've already commited suicide and are not able to talk to her anymore. Don't answer her calls at all.

she is either just trying to get your attention or she really needs help. You dont need to be conned into talking to someone, tell her there are many people out there who will talk to her if she is seriously considering suicide. Also explain to her that even if you were interested you wouldnt talk to someone who either is trying to manipulate you or needs serious help. She shouldnt joke about suicide, its a very serious thing.

i would tell someone she is close to like her mother or a close friend. They say never take a suicide threat lightly, but most people that really want to do it don't tell other people right out, they do other things like give there stuff away.But maybe you should just talk to that person because weather they mean it or not they must really feel like they need you to go to the extrema of getting your attention like that

difficult one. Virtaully nobody actually goes through with this, but a few do, so you have to tread carefully. Try telling her you will only talk to her with a counsellor present, that way you arent refusing but arent giving in to emotional blackmail. If you are still at school or in some situation with shared authority figures, please tell someone, if she needs real help the more people watching out for her the better.

Sounds like she has a personality disorder, but talk to her anyway and ask her to get help. She needs more help than you can give her. Be open to talking though, just in case. You don't want that on your conscious for the rest of your life in case she does actually do it.
Also, if she is going to kill herself, she is going to kill herself. Whether you talk to her or not. If she wants to die, she will find a way. Trust me--- talking to you IS NOT going to help prevent her from killing herself.
She is reaching out for help!

If she commit suicide because of me then of course I have to talk, if not it really depends on the situtation.

Unfortunately, you might have to turn her in if you think she is serious. It is better in the long-term for the person to get treatment.
If you are both adults, you will have to call an in-patient treatment facility to get advice. If you are younger, consider the sanity of her parents as well. You don't want them to abuse her and not get her treatment because she made a threat.
