Last year she tried to commit suicide,now she says that as much as she'd like to,she will not do it.
As good as that is,she is still very upset right now.Her father is also threatening to kick her out( she is fourteen),and that makes matters worse.What can I do to help her?

She needs to seek professional help - if she goes to her GP then they will refer her to a professional mental help worker or counselling service.
Hopefully her parents will be willing to take her to the doctor etc. but if not maybe you could go with her?
If she refuses you should inform a member of staff at your school about your worries, even if she doesn't want you to, you are doing it for her own good.if she is in misery hopefully she will want to get better and want to get help so she should agree.
Does your school run a counselling service/ have a school nurse you can talk to about this?
You must inform an adult...if you absolutely refuse the above suggestions you could at the very least ask your parents advice...but you should do the above if you are seriously worried she is putting her life in danger

Talk to her about HER. Why is her father wanting to kick her out, is she doing something he doesn't want her to do?
It sounds like she is looking for attention in the wrong way.
Have her look at her life and her choices that she makes to see Just how bad it really is and how much worse it could be if she doesn't do something about it now.
Where is the depression coming from? Is her behavior fair to her parents?
Are her parents kicking her out because she is sneaking out and drinking, hanging with bad kids. Some times kids think parents make dumb rules only because they cant see the same dangers involved in their behavior as the parents do.

Have you tried having her talk to a school counselor or other mental health professional? She's obviusly going through some very big things and needs to talk to someone with more expertise. Stay nearby until that time to make sure she doesnt do anything to hurt herself.

First of all thank you for being a good friend to your friend. You sound as though you really care about her.
Convince her to seek out the help of a professional. She needs some one a bit more experienced to talk to.

this sounds like your run of the mill teen angst.
your best bet is to continue to be supportive and there for her whenever she may need you. we all go through problems like this in various times of our lives. and 9 times out of 10, the best remedy is having someone who cares around you.
good luck.
