Question

well my friend is depresed , he is 18 and lives with his mom only, his dad doesent care about him and hes goign to get kiked out of the house, he problems and i dont know any advice to give him he only has a highschool diploma and needs a good paying job to go live out on his own, but somtimes he feels like killing himself i dont know what to do

Answer 1

Get some help for his suicide tendency's and then worry about school and a better job , a positive attitude makes a hard task look easy.
He is at the perfect age to change his life for the better and enjoy a longer happy life than the one his had.

Answer 2

Sadly your friend is at the age where depression and thoughts of suicide strike hard.
There are so-called "Youth Information Centres" for people between 16-25 that can offer advice, it may be worth checking them.

Speak to a recruitment agency, see if they can offer him a job to pay his bills and, if possible, seek further education.

Why does his mother want to kick him out? Is it because of his problems and depression? Sounds like they need to come to some agreement, at least until he can move out. Homelessness is a very serious situation and very hard to get out from.

Maybe if your friend sacrificed an hour of his day to help out in the house, then his mother would get off his back? Little things even, like take the bin out or do a bit of washing?

At 18 people need space. Help him by being his friend, get him to get on with life and move on only when ready.

Answer 3

If he feels like killing himself then this is a very serious issue. Is there any mental health worker (i.e. counselor) who can see him for free? Maybe a GP.

Good luck
