Thats sad very sad im so sorry to hear this. It must be terrible for her to want to die. I would clearly suggest telling a school guidance councellor. Even if your friend gets mad at you, you will be helping her in the end. This is a very serious matter and should NOT be ignored.Theres nothing YOU can personally do but help her in everyway you can think of but wether it helps her really, that depends on how much she opens her self up to you. My friend gets kicked out of her house alot its not as bad as this obviously but im telling you this because maybe some ways to help her is to tell your mom and so that if it happens again then maybe she could come and stay with you for a while. If you think your mom might freak out clam her down and tell her you are handling it, BY TELLING THE SCHOOL'S COUNCELLOR! Please dont ignore this and take immediate action.

Tell her that she has alot to live for (adulthood.) Then she can do almost anything she wants to, within the law. She probably wants to punish them for being so hard on her, but she should wait til she has left home to do that. If she commits suicide, it will punish them, but it will also punish everyone else in her family. If she can hang in there til she graduates, she could have a great adulthood, maybe even become famous. She could meet a great guy & she can have children & treat them so much better than she was treated. After she has left home, she can deprive them of being in her life & maybe even her children's lives. That would be a good punishment for them. Are there other siblings who are also going thru what she is ? I've seen & heard of many other children who had a rotten childhood, (including beatings & days with no food) then went on to be great citizens with great jobs, or whatever.

tell her that u love her and that you like spending time together. tell her that life is a gift and that there are persons in far worse conditions than her that appreciate this gift.
i had problems dealing with suicidal taughts, and that cuz i even had a family member (not such a close relative) do that. how did i deal with my taughts? i didn't repress them, but dealt with them. i finaly got to the conclusion that it's worth living.
warning: don't fake like u understand her cuz u don't. i don't. i knew my parents loved me and i admit, by that time i didn't know how much. just tell her that u love her and that u and not only u, will feel affected by her doing that.
more, some special help might be needed in her case.
just something that came up in my mind now... i don't know how good this is... u think it through. how about asking her: "how would u feel if i did this?" i mean not to answer it, just to think of it.

There is a suicide hotline in USA I dont remember the number. This is urgent and is good you know this to help her..talk to the parents , and ask for some guidance with a priest or therapist.

ok if u want to help your friend get her to a cunseler so she can get help and if the abuse continues and if she is under 18 call child services and get her out of where she is and maybe she can get put into a better home take it from someone with personal experience...
good luck

You can't stop her. If you could, you would have done so already. She needs serious rescuing. You need to talk to someone who might be able to help your friend--a social worker, a teacher, a minister; if you don't have anyone you trust, try the local info-line. Or the hospital. Talk to your friend about taking steps to rescue herself.
