send that child to therapy
you cannot handle this on your own just by talking it out.
do NOT attempt that feat.

As far as I know there are 2 immediate possibilities for this condition.
!. A very low level of cholestorol in the body, or
2. Enormous stress in the young person's life.
A possible solution to the first cause is to introduce as much fresh fruit and vegetables into the diet as possible and to eliminate animal fats including whole milk, cheese, meat fat and poultry skin. Use only olive oil and canola oil in the diet, eliminate all others. This can only be a guide and better or more detailed information will be available from an appropriate dietry specialist.
The second cause is from personal observations in Asia where children in every family are expected to be at the top of the class. Suicide rates in Asia are horrific, and they come from family demands of the youngster. Sorry I cant help more because of the limited information provided, I hope that this message might assist.

Her problem is not so much the problems themselves, but the reaction. I have problems in my life, as well as others, but suicide is not and option. We react by dealing with them and getting through them. If she is having the reaction of suicide, it cannot be left untreated. So you get her through her current problems, what about the next set of problems? Driving, cars, boys, college, bills, rent, food, etc. Her reaction is what needs to be treated by a professional.
Never take someones talk of suicide in passing or as "their just stressed". Take it seriously because if their serious it will be too late to do. Call 911 when she expresses the intent to harm herself. They will take her somewhere where she can talk with a professional and get on a course of recovery.
Recent story. Good friend of mine has a history of mental problems. She called everyone a few weeks ago and basically said her goodbyes. The quick thinking of her family to call 911 and have them trace her cell phone potentially saved her life. They found her and her truck severely damaged and a bottle of.... something... in her. She's recovering now and getting the help she needs.
So the best thing you can do to help her is to get her some help.

No offense, but it's time to stop focusing on the problems and start focusing on the solutions. If you all do is talk about how much everything sucks and life is horrible, you're only going to get more depressed - it's time to look at how to get out of or past the situation. I don't know what the situation is/was, so I can't give the best advice (yet).

Pray for her, and continue to be a good friend. If she continues to talk about dying, I'd call 911. After all these people are professionals, and may be they can encourage her to get some treatment. Take care, and best wishes.

I don't know how old you are, but that must be quite a large burden for you to bear. Maybe you could talk to her parents or other close relative and tell them. SHE REALLY NEEDS HELP!! Don't try to help her by yourself, she needs many people, both loved ones and professionals, to help her through this! Rabbits need to see daylight if they want to live. Get help for both of you!

Ask her to list all the great souls who have committed suicide.
This way, she will be proud to be a part of that stellar, courageous crowd.
Suicide can be the most rational and meaningful route for those who opt to stop the nonsense of this world gone mad.
Do not hinder her quest. Help her.

If its that serious, call a suicide help line and they will refer you to the proper steps to take. The steps they tell you to take may sound dumb to you, but they are the first steps to getting her the help she needs.

You could get her to see a psychologist or you could bring her to a counselor to see what is wrong.

dunno, life only gets worse. Be glad she acts out within instead of out on the ppl who fuc her over bcuz she should kill them then she'll be in jail the rest of her life. Just keep her talking about it and hopefully she'll tire of the subject. If she doesn't stop tell her your going to call 911 then do it. back in my day therapists were full of **** and i couldn't stand them and would never have trusted them, maybe email Dr. Phil?
