1. ask her if she has a plan and a means of killing herself. If the answer is yes, then take her very seriously.
2. get her to promise not to kill herself for 24 hours
3. contact your local hospital or crisis line for more help

If she's telling the truth about her parent's lack of concern over her thoughts of suicide, you should probably call the authorities and tell them what you have told us here. I mean contact the local police department and child protective services. Her thoughts of suicide maybe a passing thing and it could also be some kind of hormonal or other chemical imbalance inside her body. The fact that it has lasted so many days is not a good thing.
Get the girl some help. Right now, it looks like it's in your lap and you are obligated to do something to help her.
Give her these numbers & tell her there's someone there to give her a chance to talk about what's bothering her---if she can.

First off, don't leave her alone! She's a danger to herself, but come up with other reasons to stay with her. Try to do something nice for her, or help her to remember her favorite things. She is probably crying for attention more than anything, give her all the attention you can.
Also you should call a professional and ask their help, such as the DBSA. They probably have better advice for you. In the meantime, DON"T LEAVE HER ALONE!
You have the power to save her life.

Call an ambulance and give them her address and tell them she is going to kill herself. She may hate you for this and never want to speak to you again, but if you want to save her life, do this NOW, before she takes her own life.

your gf really needs help. i say take her to the school counselor or hospital so they can know whats going on. its unfortunalte that her parents seem disinterested in her life. stay with her just let her know that she is important and will be missed if she takes her life, but have her speak to a professional asap.

human instince is to protect herself from harming like hand off when touching a fire. suicide is committed only under blackout without impulse control. avoid blackout by being alert, control impulse by quiet meditation such as listening to music and chat with friends, get busy so you won,t think too much.

Shes very depressed. I'd take her to the hospital immediately!. When you take someone to the hospital for suicial reasons, they immediately put the person in a mental/phsyc place. Hey, better to put her in one of those places than to see her dead. well so i was told

Give her a list of every possible painless/painful way of suicide.
Explain each in detail.
And then beg her to not do so.
