i had the same feelings when a young thing from eons ago ended. just cheer her up go to the mall...a movie or some place where other dudes hang out...her radar will pick up on somthing...dont listen to the carebears telling her to seek therapy...

More than likely she's being dramatic about the suicide threats. Having listened to her and since you know her, you'll probably be able to tell the difference. If you think she's 100% serious tell her parents or take her to the ER. If you think she's being dramatic: just take her out to do something fun with some mutual friends. 1) It will take her mind off of being sad 2) It'll show her there are things to still live for and people out there who care about her. If that doesn't work 3) get her some chocolate ice cream and rent Legally Blond or something like that. It'll remind her she can be a strong hot chick w/out the bum.

NEVER EVER take a threat of suicide as something to do for attention. It's a lot more serious than that. Talk to her. Let her know you're there for her, and why she thinks this guy is worth dying over. Also- she might get pissed, but *please* go talk to her parents (or a trusted teacher, etc) to let them know what's going on. You can do a lot for your friend, but if she's down enough to threaten suicide, she needs more help than you can give her. Good luck.

Call the suicide hotline, let them tell you what to do. They are very familiar with this, and will be able to tell you what you can say to her to bring her around.
If you are sure that she is doing this for attention, then give it to her. Call the police and have them show up at her house to see how serious everyone around her takes her threats.
You should also let her parents know. They may be able to just say two words that will bring her around.
I would like to know if my child were in this state of mind. I would get her help as soon as I could.

let her know that if she broke up with him the obviously she felt there was something wrong with the relationship. if u feel she isnt serious an is just threating then let her know that how will she really find true love an total happiness if she ends her life so quickly ask her if the guy she broke up was really worth it too. but try to make it completly clear to her that if she commits suicide that she will never know the possibilities that are in store for her.

Her bf broke up with her: tell her life doesnt end with just him, explain theres plenty of guys out there who can treat her better than him, and also, that if its for attention, even still, tell her not to go to that extent, because this time apart should give time for both of them to think freely, and if he realises he's done a mistake after how well she treated him, then he'll come back get her. Tell her to wait patiently, but till then, take care of herself and get back to her own life.
If she broke up with him herself, then get some professional advice, she might have broken up with him to kill herself so he doesnt get the emotional damage he'd might get after commiting suicide

Tell her some times life comes at you fast .She should want to be around to watch him fall on his face when some one he cares about dumps his sorry butt .
The real man of her dreams will show up later ,We all make mistakes, Thinking sex is love is a typical one ,This too shall pass, no one is worth ending your life over .Being grown up is picking up the pieces and learning from it . I am women hear me roar !
Take your pick ,surly there is something in here .Good luck .

the best thing to do would be to talk to her, as you said she might just be doing it for attention, but she also might do it. so dont take it lightly, talk to her and listen to her, thats what most people who think about suicide feel, is that no one notices/listens to them.
what kind of relationship was this? how long? ages (if not over 23)?

Get in touch with a professional, take her threats seriously. Call a suicide hotline, a doctor, or a hospital for advice. Don't mess around with this.

If she's actually threatening...you may need to call 911. I mean, you may think she's just wanting attention, but like you said...all threats should be taken seriously. If she ends up carrying through and succeeds, there is no second chance to do what you need to do.
