My boyfriend?

Question

I'm 16 he's 17. we both are madly in love.
been together for a year and a half. Lately he's been telling me he doesn't enjoy life anymore. Wants to commit suicide.
I don't wanna leave him, I wanna try helping him.
But how?.. I've tried talking to him but it's the situation he's got at home that's bringing him down.

Answer 1

At this time I would say try sticking by his side because leaving him might make matters worse. He might feel he dont have anyone and that wouldnt be good hes already having suicidle thoughts. It sounds to me that he has a bad case of depression. Try telling him how much you love him every time hes in your presents. If youll go to the same school talk to the counselor in your school. Find someone you can trust to talk to so that you can tell them about the situation and they may be able to help you But whatever oyu do dont turn your back on him tell him how much you need him and that what are you suppose to do if he kills himself . Ask him would he ever hurt you like that by doing that. It will work out

Answer 2

Well if the parents of his are the problem, than you have to be the smart one and tell them that they should take care of their son by either stopping what they are doing or do better for him, and tell them that he was ready to commit suicide, It's not a joke, parents can really make people feel like that and their son daughter probably cant get a chance to talk to them , but their friends could help, i mean your deeply in love, so come on they will most likely listen to you if they care about their son

well you really didnt say what the situation was so.. yah..

Answer 3

It's a hard situation to deal with because usually, no matter who is around him, if he does in fact feel this way, it is hard to get him back on the path of wanting to live. All I would suggest is giving your full support and trying to convince him the reasons as to why life is good. Maybe counselling would help? I wouldn't enforce it fully but try the best you can. Perhaps your love and dedication will make him realize who loves him and the reason as to why he should live.

Answer 4

Tell him he's about to turn 18 and he should consider college, a technical school or get a job and move out. He'll probably want to get some roommates to make it cheaper.

He's got to get out of that living situation but do so in a wise way.
Depending on how much money his parents make, he can apply for financial aid at a college and get much of it paid for. He can even take out loans to help with living.

Now if he isn't in school. Urge him to get his GED and then go to college or get a job and get his own place or with roomates.

Answer 5

Girl run, I know you say you guys are madly in love and that you want to help him, the best help you can give him is the telephone number to mental health... I am not trying to be funny. I have lost a few friends to boyfriends that were suicidal they all seem to kill the girlfriend too..... Becareful and God Bless....

Answer 6

Show support, be there for him when he needs to talk. Ask him to go and see someone proffessionally about this and be there with him when he goes.
The more support you show and display to him how much you care it will help him to feel more open to you and be open to what you have to suggest, it'll be hard but help him to get proffessional help cause suicide is a serious matter and he may have a slight depression

Answer 7

whatever you do dont leave him that would make everything worse. Calll a suicide prevention hotline or even try to get him in therapy but dont do it alone make sure you try to get him help. The last thing you want on your conscience is your boyfriend commiting suicide.

Answer 8

talk to a parent.
Or another trusted adult.

17 or not, he still needs help.

Answer 9

omg send him to the wacko house or something and find a man that doesn't want to "kill" himself

Answer 10

You could try and ask him if there's anything, ANYTHING you can do to make things better for him.
