She needs a professional help, no doubt. She probably suffers from depression and needs to be on treatment. You have to let her know that you're willing to be there when she needs you. If possible, convince her in a nice supporting way to seek help. Maybe you can start with talking her into speaking with her school's Guidance Councelor. Good luck.

I agree that you need help with this one. Have you talked to her counselor at school? I know that when I went to high school our counselors were fairly kick a$$. And had a decent way of helping us when we really needed it. If that does not seem like the route you would like to take, then maybe try this. When my friends have been extremely depressed i learned early on that the worst thing that I could do was to "blow sunshine up their a$$es". That when we change ourselves to try and help others, they never look at it as help. They look at it(like what it is)pity. And not very many people appreciate pity. There are many different ways that we can help them as good friends. What would the two of you do on a normal afternoon? Simply do that, with some supportive conversation. Positive talk, breeds positive thoughts. And if your friend breaks down to cry, then hug your friend and assure her that you WILL be there for her, that she is your friend and if you have anything to say about the futures out comings, that you will do your best to make sure that it(the future) will be bright. I can already tell that you are a good friend. And I am sure that your friend knows it too.

You should be speaking to your school guidance counselor, a preacher/priest or other religious leader, or your own parents about this. Yahoo Answers is not a good place to get advice for actual serious, life-threatening issues. Seek help from a REAL professional adult immediately. If none of the possibilities I mentioned will work, go to the Police. If your friend died, you would feel like it was your fault if you didn't do everything you could. Act now before it's too late.

Im not an expert or anything but i think your friend needs to c a counsellor. She needs professional help. Its good though that as your friend you are trying to help her and you are so concerned. If she doesnt want to go to the counsellor you have to convince her. Tell her you'll go with her. Do whatever it takes to get her there. I hope she changes her mind cuz killing herself would be the worst mistake she could ever make. Also you can pray about the situation or ask someone you know to do it for you if u dont know how. I hope things work out. Good Luck!

Everyone has a down point in her life. Try to get new people in her life that would help her and give her a purpose to live. Try to move her in a drastic way. In this way, she will have a reason to live and hopefully won't want to commit suicide anymore. I gave someone a reason to live and they didn't want to commit suicide anymore, so try it. It worked for some people I know.

Maybe she can stay over at your house until you can talk to a social worker or the police. If her Dad knows that she told on him, he may be worse to her. You need to tell an adult that you can trust. I hope everything works out -- I will be praying for both of you. Hang in there!!

If you REALLY think suicide is imminent, get off the computer NOW and go call 911.
Otherwise, get a phone book - white pages, not yellow pages - look in the front, there should be a list of emergency numbers, one will be something like "CRISIS HOTLINE." Call that number, now.

tell her mom what she wants to do. That's dangerous if she tries to do it. My cousin tried to do the same thing and didn't succeed. She now regrets it becauase she went to jail of rtryint to kill herself and has attemped suicide in her record. IF she ever gets violent with anyone in the future- she's considered like a women. Try to talk her out of doind this- talkt oyur teacher about her abuse- child services may have to get involved but- as afriend you need to helop her as much as you can

You or your friend need to talk to someone NOW. Talk to your parents, or her mother. Put your trust in someone and tell them, perhaps a teacher, neighbor, aunt or older sibling. But someone must be told that can talk with your friend, and get her the help that is needed.
