First of all, be close to her and let her feel how much you care about her. Try to make her understand that no matter what happened you will be always there for her, to help her in any possible way.
Improving your level of communication is essential, a teen girl has usually difficult times to obey and understand what her mother - especially - says.
Sometimes talking about suicide is a way to pay attention.
Nevertheless, be alert since it is necessary to get a consultancy with a good psychologist in order to reduce the chances that the words ends up in an attempt.
Bringing your daughter straight to a psychologist or against her will only turns things more difficult, unless you found evidence that she is indeed planning a suicide. Then, and without hesitation, bring her immediately to the nearest hospital for a complete evaluation.
It doesn't matter if she behaved normal till she started to talk about suicide, even more if you noticed that she was looking depressive. Use your common sense and be aware that an extra consultancy will never do anything wrong and you will feel reassured.
Be strong and go ahead.
I wish you all the best,
Fro

Most teenagers consider this thought when things are not going on well in their lives. To start with they are growing so fast, they are not exactly adults neither are they kids, there are Pre Menstrual Syndroms, and she might be experiencing rejection from friends because she has spots on her face,she is smarter than them or just something very silly.

This is the time to build a strong relationship with your daughter to help her discover herselve, her dreams trust me her childhood dream of being an astronaut would have changed by now. It could be that she has no boyfriend and that is making her feel ugly. Let her know that the best are always saved for the last.

Whatever it is just let her know how HELPLESS you would be in life if she should commit suiside.Let her feel that You will never recover for the rest of your life when she is gone because she is PRICELESS to you.No matter what others say. Help her to focus on her bright future which might seem so bleak to her at the moment. Help her boost her self confidence.This is one excersice a motivational speaker used on a lady and now the lady is now a PR executive.

Every morning let her stand infront of a mirror and say POSITIVE things about herself.Like "I am beautiful inside out no matter what those ugly jealous girls say, I am smarter and I don't need their opinion to confirm this. I'm going to make it and they will line up for my autographs same day."

As a mother pray for your kids too,God is just a prayer away.He's been waiting for you to call on Him and still is.

All the best.

I think you should maybe like take out old pictures and watch movies one night. Just as a family. Maybe order some pizza make some popcorn. Every teen likes popcorn and pizza and laughing with your family and remembering all the fun times you had together could help her realize that theres no-one she wants to be with more than her family. She might think its dorky or something but it will be fun and very good for her. Dont push her into anything. Let her decide things for herself. Telling her not to do something will just make her want to do it more. Just dont let her commit suicide. Dont remind her every day that she shouldnt. Just let her know that you love her and would hate to see her do anything to hurt herself. Maybe things will turn around for her. Im praying for you and your daughter! Good Luck!

IF she has intent meaning she is thinking about do it and has a plan on how to kill herself, AND she has the means which is access to "how" she would hurt herself, THEN take her to the ER ASAP!!!!!

If she is just having thoughts look for changes in sleep and eating, as well as her emotional state, how she dresses, and if drugs are invloved. I know its hard for a mom to do but its important because the next step is to find a therapist who specializes in children, tell the therapist what u found out, and he will help. Odds are your daughter has Depression or PTSD caused by a trauma u may not be aware of (ex:rape). Her telling u that she is has SI is a cry for help! do something before its too late.

If your daughter is actually talking about it that means that she is crying out for help. It's the ones that don't mention a word to anyone and then they are gone. First try a family intervention and have her close friends and relatives there to explain to her why they love her and need her to be around for them. You must do this as a surprise to catch her off guard. If she thinks you are going to do an intervention she won't show up. Then most definatley get her some psychiatric help!!!

try to talk to her
watch her and keep tabs on her
when you least expect it thats when it happens

in the hosp they will check on you every15 min to make sure you are ok

it is a common check for suicidal tendencies

she may get annoyed but i rather them be annoyed than no daughter at all

i felt the same when others did that to me i then realized they meant it in a good way so i know now.....but never ever tell her it will be ok ...in a suicidal mind its never ok

If she is talking she maybe very close to taking action. You must take action and get her into a mental/hospital institution. You have the right to sign her in for a 72 hour observation. Do it now before it is to late, she will thank you later in life. Good luck.

Get her to talk to you. Assure her your support on everything. Make her understand purpose of her life. Divert attention away from her problems. Engage her in yoga, will make her get focussed. Professional help might help. But personally I feel she might open up and need her mothers support than any professionals help..... Good Luck !!!!
Make her come out of it.

First ask her why,then explain to her how important she is to everyone around her.and the impact it would have on all concerned.tell her also that is not the answer, it solves nothing.and to ask the lord for help.There are many places that help in this.for one call the crisis hot line.
