Answer 1

I know everyone says it, but from experience, suicide is not the answer. My step grandfather hung himself and my cousin shot himself. I've attempted suicide twice. I never thought about the people it would affect if I was successful in my attempt. Suicide totally screws up survivors, and you can't come back and say you're sorry. It's a permanent solution for a temporary problem. Remember, anything can be fixed except death.

Answer 2

Tell them to get professional help. The guidance counsellor at school, a trusted adult, their familyl doctor... someone they trust.
They could also call a suicide help line. People there are trained and willing to help them.

If they won't get help, you should tell someone-- their problems should not be on your shoulders.

Answer 3

baby it's the human condition....no one wants to ever admit someone they know is feeling like this....but just remember, by talking to them about it may stop them from even thinking about it...sometimes people just need to know someone does care for them.....talking to them will help them....it will also let you know how bad it is......you can help them get help....they just don't know how to do it for themselves sometimes and need help. the worst thing u can do is nothing.........u might want to go to this website that will give you some good info on what who and where for help. It will give u some insight on what signs to look for ppl who haven't said anything yet...those are the worse ones...the ones who ask and talk about it are still reachable....But, just do something.
