Tell her mother RIGHT NOW.

Tell her parents.

Now.

Hang in there,

It's time to go to her parents.

It's very likely she'll be resentful and angry for a while. Don't let this stop you.

Me and my friends suffered from depression. I got to the point of self-harm and suicide. After several years, I finally got help on my own. I wish someone had been there. I would have cursed them out at the time. Now (only a year later) I'd never be able to thank them enough. When you're that depressed, you're not in your right mind.

Go to her parents now. This is out of her hands.

Take these actions:
-Remain calm.
-Reassure her that there is help and she will not feel like this forever.
-Do not judge.
-Do not leave her alone.
-Remove means for self-harm.
-Get help: Peers should not agree to keep the suicidal thoughts a secret and instead should tell an adult, such as a parent, teacher, or school psychologist. Her parents should seek help from school or community mental health resources as soon as possible. School staff should take her to the designated school mental health professional or administrator.

Be a good listener. If she expresses suicidal thoughts or feel depressed, hopeless, or worthless, be supportive. You may encounter negative reactions from her who believes that her condition is hopeless and will never get better. Let her know you are there for her and are willing to help her seek professional help. Never issue challenges or dares.

Express empathy and concern for her. Suicidal ideation is frequently accompanied by a self-absorbed, uncommunicative, and withdrawn state of mind. When you try to help, she may be reluctant to discuss what she is thinking. At such times, it is important to acknowledge the reality of her pain and hopelessness. If she is not comfortable talking with you, encourage her to talk with someone else.

Try not to be judgmental ("Don't talk like that") or moralistic ("The Torah forbids it"). False reassurances ("Everything will be fine") are equally unhelpful. Instead, show concern ("You seem to be going through a difficult time right now"). Try to empathize ("It sounds like you are feeling overwhelmed and hopeless"). And encourage verbalization of feelings ("Tell me what is bothering you").

Finally, insist on an immediate psychiatric consultation. Make an appointment as soon as possible for her to be evaluated by an experienced mental health professional who can properly assess the degree of suicidal risk. Volunteer to go with her to the appointment and be sure to follow any recommendations you receive.

You have to tell her parents or an adult that you know she trusts. You can't wait and see if she gets better. She is asking you for help by telling you she is thinking about it. Please do the best thing a friend can do and help her, immediately. If you are afriad she will get angry thatyou told, you have to ask yourself which is more important, her being mad at you, or her still being alive? You can also explain to her that you only told an adult because you love her and care about what happens to her.

if she is not listening to you then you need to tell her parents or loved ones and maybe call the authorities. that may sound rough but it will save her life and she will thank you for it in the long run. they will get her the help that she needs. i hope that this helps and good luck she is lucky to have a friend like you.

My friend wanted to committe sucide for years. She would cut herself with anything. When a girl told her parents she claimed she stopped and kept it from everyone hiding it under jackets and braclets. Make her feel worth the world to you. And be careful.

I agree....you can't take this on yourself. she may not want you to tell anyone and be angry if you do, but at least she will still be with you. And once she is feeling better, I promise she will thank you.
If you don't want to tell her parents, tell yours, or a teacher you trust or a family friend.
Good luck....you are a great friend.

Unless you are a therapist, or a psycologist you are not equipped to help your friend. Tell her parents so they can get her some help, Hang in there.
