She is an attention seeker. Its called emotional blackmail. Her parents would be wise not to give in to her unreasonable demands. I am very sure she wouldnt kill herself if her demands are not fulfilled. With an older person I would be worryied but not a 14yo girl. Be kind and patient with her, reason out things with her. Try to seek professional help. I hope everything turns out well.

She is being selfish..... and she is spoiled! Every time they give in to her with these threats they are telling her she can do what she wants. they have lost control and she is running the show. Maybe the next time she threatens they should load her up and take her to the hospital. Tell the hospital people she needs to stay overnight for psychiatric evaluations because she is suicidal. Maybe a dose of her own medicine is what the doctor orders!

Because she is Spoiled Spoiled Spoiled! Her parents did a poor job of handling her. She has probably always gotten what she's always wanted, and not that she's older, the requests are probably coming with a heavier price tag, and riskier. Plus, she may have used that tactic once and saw that it worked. What parent wants to hear that thier child is going to kill themself? They are so blinded by her that they don't know what is up or down anymore. I would monitor how much time your daughter spends with her, and if your daughter trys to pull this EVEN ONCE, end contact with the friend!

It sounds like she is looking for attention, or she's extremely spoiled. They need to take her to a specialist. That will get her the help she needs, plus it will stop the threats. They should not give in to her, but they need to get her help, otherwise this could potentially turn deadly. Whether or not she is serious, she should be taken so, but the parents need professional help is dealing with this, or they are not helping her.

Its normal for a teenager, especially a girl, to threaten suicide as a way to control the situation.
Giving into it doesnt make it better.
Eventually she starts hurting herself when shes' really angry, to make a point and get her way, and then next thing you know she really does hurt herself or kill herself because she didnt get what she wanted when she wanted it.
She needs to be in therapy, and they need to not be allowing this behavior.

She is a user.
Have them take her to a shrink or send her away to live with a cousin or adult they trust. When they get that way if you don't stop them right now they will be totally out of control in a year.

Threats of suicide should be taken seriously. Yes, she may just be after attention, but would you really want to find out she was serious when you find her dead body? The girl needs therapy and may be suffering from depression.

a lot of teens do this for attention, She figures that they will give her what she wants if she threatens this or other things, don't take my word for it but, teens who talk about it on a regular basis usually will never acctually do it. I had a very close friend commit suicide in october.

it is normal for some teenagers to act that way, the parents need to find out the problem in this, it may be a cry for attention,she may want more one to one time with her parents.

Your friend should take this seriously. It may not be a phase. They should seek guidance from someone qualified to determine her state of mind.
