She needs to got to the school guidance counselor, or a teacher or someone (adult) that she feels comfortable enough confiding in. And get some professional assistance. Some counseling for both she and her mom. And if she is threatening suicide you need to tell an adult. Good luck and God bless****

Your friend is fortunate to have a friend like you - caring and concern. Running away or taking one's life is for cowards. Is there any chance of her speaking to her mum that her yelling hurts? However, do advise your friend that most probably her mum is going through some hard times due to the divorce. Have a little patient and I'm sure things will turn out alright for all parties. Continue to keep your friend company.

She needs to let her parents know how she is feeling. You can keep reminding her that none of this is her fault and that both parents maybe under a great deal of pressure. Tell your mother and maybe she could talk with one or both of her parents. Talk to one of your teachers that you really feel you can trust. Or go to her mother and let her know what is going on. Someone will need to get the parents attention before something bad happens. This is a way of your friend crying for HELP. You are her friend so you should talk to someone who can or will help.

How old is she?
I don't think you can solve her problems for her. The Mom should be the one worrying about her. Someone needs to talk some sense into her Mom or Dad. They sound like they have a lot of sorting out to do themselves, though. Can you get a hold of her grandparents? I would call them and make them aware of the situation their grandchild is in.

Your friend needs comfort. She needs to be reminded that it wasn't her fault. Stand beside her and listen. I know from experience the last thing you want to hear is what you should do. Just mention to her to find a guidance counselor or some one she truly trusts to confide in. You can't really help her solve her family problems, maybe you should suggest to her family counseling. Good luck to you and your friend just stand by her and let her know how important she is to you as a friend no matter what is going on in her life.

Go to your school counselor and talk to him/her immediately. You can trust your counselors there and they will be able to help her and her mom! If she won't talk to one, you should do it for her.The sooner the better! Your teachers have to allow you excused time from classes for counseling without knowing anything more. You're a good friend!

If the conditions are really that bad, maybe she could stay at your place for a bit, if it's okay with your parents.

tell her not to run away that is a bad idea, her mom is acting like that because the divorce tell her not to run out the house is a big mi stack and little-by-Lil the problem will go away.
but her mother needs her.
