You will not go to jail. And with someone filing "negligence" charges, you did not cause her death, she did. Negligent is more like, if you leave your keys in your car and someone steals it and kills a child, your negligent but if someone kills themselves and you know they are suicidal, well you can not watch them 24/7. Report it to be on the safe side, at least even with the charge, which I doubt will happen, you can say, "hey, i reported it. I'm not a pscologist nor a counselor, I am not certified to talk a suicidal person out of what they want, all I could do was report it." Hope this helped.

If she was really going to commit suicide she would do it and not try to use your friendship to make you feel sorry for her.
You wont got to jail (there will be no proof that you even knew)
and she is NOT going to commit suicide.
She may be feeling bad but she is using you and hoping that you feel sorry for her so that you will do something that she wants you to do (not talk to such and such a friend, break up with a certain boy and spend all of your time with her).
Tell her that if she does not agree to get help you are not sure whatyou can do about it
start avoiding her

If all you care about is jail you are no friend to her or anyone else. Go now and call the police and then her parents and tell them. If you have a conscience at all it will haunt you the rest of your life if you just let her die.
I just checked out a few more of your questions. You are one sick evil punk, and made this up for fun. God will judge you.

NO but morally you need to get her help. Her telling you is a cry for help. Call the police or a suicide prevention hot line, they will guide you. If you don't and she succeeds that will weigh on your conscience for the rest of your life.
I had a friend who committed suicide nine years ago, I did not know until she did but it bothered me for years. We did not see the warning signs. You have an opportunity to help a friend, if you really care.

You won't go to Jail but you should act. tell someone about it or call the police, this is actually a very serious matter...
If you don't you'll fell guilty for the rest of your life, that you didn't help her.
Give her a call now and comfort her and you just might end up saving her life.

So what you are saying is that you are selfish. Yes indeed, you are more worried about going to jail that a friend in a bad situation

you may not go to jail but how would you live with yourself if this person followed through and there may have been a way for you to prevent it? talk to someone, anyone that can stop this person from committing this act NOW.

Well you should tell. If you don't you are not helping her at all. She/he doesn't want you to tell but as their friend I think you should. If you know what they are planning on doing and don't tell someone I believe that you can be held accountable for it.

You won't go to jail, but I would not use the term "friend", if you have to ask here???

if someone files negligence charges against you (like your friend's family) you could be arrested. YOU SHOULD TELL SOMEONE. call the sheriff's office and tell them the name and address of your friend and what he/she told you. that way you wont have to worry about someone filing a civil suit or pressing charges against you.
