Hey, i have been put in a situation to save someone's life but i don't know the right way to go about it! my best friend friend told me about this suicide pact he has got with a girl he met over the internet...the date is set for three months from now. he said he regrets telling me now because im scared and emotional and may want to help him which of course i do!!! but i don't know where to start. I will be absolutely crushed if he goes through with it...i mean he has already attempted three times but this girl on the internet helped him come up with a fail safe plan and this scares the s*** outa me. to all the people who want me to tell him to just get over it...that ain't the way to go about it!!! it never is so never say that to someone in this situation. I need to know who i can go to and what help i need for him. he doesn't know who his dad is and his mums boyfriend beat him and when he asked his mum to choose between him and the boyfriend she chose the boyfriend. HELP ME!!!

man you are in a spot aren't you..what if you become his girlfriend? Is that a possibility? then of course what to do when you break up with him..Do you think that he will do it? I mean a suicide pact with someone he doesn't even really know?? I don't know talk to him..try and show him life is worth living.Tell him all the things he has to look forward to.Doesn't he want a child to love? To make up for the bad way he was raised? What about loving someone? Try and tell him life won't always be so bad. Just try and show him love and compassion good luck!! I would like to know how this turns out. e-mail me!!

Wow. This is a tough situation. I think if I were you I'd try to talk to his Mom alone and tell her what's going on. She may have made a terrible decision in the past regarding her son, but if she knows the seriousness of this, she may surprise you and step up. Try to get him out of the house more and do things fun with him. Try to help him see the joy in life. You can't do this alone, though. Maybe talk to a counselor or a pastot about it and get their advise. Also, you may be able to call a suicide hotline and they might be able to give you some good information. I wish you the best and think you are a great friend. He told you for a reason. He trusts you. Do whatever you can and know that you did everything possible to help him. Good luck and don't forget to take care of yourself through all of this.

Someone mentioned a suicide hotline...
Here's some numbers for you, they're 1-800 numbers so it's free:
http://www.girlsandboystown.org/hotline/index.asp
^That one is more of a crisis hotline, they give support and advice more for your situation.
http://suicidehotlines.com/
^This one has states and you can pick you state and get local numbers and what not, it is more for the suicidal person themself, but I'm sure if you called they would help you.
Good luck<3
