Your friend should get some serious counseling or be under the supervision of CPS. The parent must have some problem to say that to their own kid. Get your parents to talk to his parents. It helps to get adults involved because then his dad will have to face that humiliation of not raising his kid in a safe environment. Let your friend stay with you for a couple of days after each fight. If he is about 18 or older he can legally move out so there is hope for the future.

If his dad is always beating him up, he should tell someone about this. How old is he? If he's still going to school, he should tell his teacher and couselor. And from there, they will handle the situation. When someone said they're suicidal, they will probably do it (I read this in a research article). They're just telling someone who will change their mind, and if they don't find someone for help soon, they WILL do it. Keep an eye for your friend for now until he can get the help and support from the authorities. Good luck!

You sound like a caring friend. Keep listening to your buddy and encourage him to talk to a school counselor. You could talk to a school counselor yourself and tell the counselor that your friend is suicidal. When someone says they are suicidal, it is a definite cry for help. He's not joking or faking. Get a trusted adult involved to get your friend the help he needs so you don't have to carry it alone. The father sounds like he has had a hard life, but it is no excuse for abusing his own son.

Please, please get this kid someone to talk to! We just lost a 15 year old neighbor to suicide. Tell the school counselor, please! Call Child protective services in your area. Call the police if you can't find the number in your area. They will get the number for you. You can be a witness to get the kids OUT of that house! TELL your friend there are ppl out here who do care. I have 5 kids myself...ages 4-19. I found out a few years ago that my oldest was suicidal cause of my husband...I divorced him! My 2nd oldest son was being beaten and abused by his father (a cop) and I took him to court. Before I won my son over dosed and ended up in ICU. It took me 9 months through the court system (they are slow) but I got full custody of my son! He hasn't seen or heard from the *** hole for a year and a half. We are very happy now. Please tell your friend to hang on. You are being a good friend to him which gives him hope. He can't lose that feeling of hope...he'll lose his grip on living. Can you talk to your parents about giving him help? I've been talking to the children who hang out with my son and it's a problem. YOur friend is NOT alone. Many kids are being abused and with worthless parents. But no one can help if they don't help them selves first. Go see a school counselor! Go with him...support him. Take pictures of the bruises...tape record the fighting. Hide a camera where his dad can't see it and capture the ordeal...I hid ours in a paper bag. Build your case and get him OUT...God help you help your friend...good luck! I hope this info will help.

Obviously your friends father is a jack ***, and you should help your friend seek professional counselling.
He can't change who his father is, but if his father is beating him he can contact the authorities, and press charges of assault.
Don't let your friend stay in a bad situation without help, he needs to talk to a therapist who can help him deal with his suicidal thoughts because killing himself because his father is an asshole is not the answer.
Your friend needs you, help him get the help he needs. And tell him to hang in there, and if you see him get hit, or notice wounds associated with his father's abuse, then you can report it if he won't.
Good Luck, and I hope this helps.

How awful
If you are his true friend I would tell somebody like a teacher or parent. You don't want to regret not helping your friend when he actually does commit suicide. Save your friends life and tell on that awful man.

This child needs to report his dad to someone he can trust but it has to be an adult. Hopefully they will be able to get him the help he needs.
