One of my very good friends wants to commit suicide. I had went for an appointment to a mutual friend of ours & asked her if he is k. She asked why because she had a story that he not doing well. She had told me her side & I had told her that he had wanted to commit suicide. We put both our stories together & it had made sense. We had both said we would not tell anyone apart from ourselves. Have I broken a line of friendship by asking someone?? He is a good friend & would not want to loose him ? Was I wrong by seeking info in which to help him???

You are right to care and be concerned about your friend's well being. Suicide is a serious matter that shouldn't be taken lightly. Even if your friend is just reaching out for attention or something to listen, you did the right thing.
If your friend still feels that he might commit suicide, remind him that you love and care about him and that many others feel the same way. If you don't feel that your words are making a difference you should talk to someone at a suicide hotline for help.

Why do you think this? There's plenty you can do to help them. Firstly, and possibly most importantly, if you really think they are going to commit suicide, or if they send you a note saying they are... you can contact the police -even if you don't have their address, you can give them computer details and if they think it's neccasary then they can track them from that (this recently happened when a girl in america reported a suicidal youth in the uk... they eventually tracked him down and got him to hospital) Obviously only do this if you think there is a real risk, as the police wont take it lightly! If you do know their address you can contact their local authorities. If you know their phone number you could even talk to their parents/partner/anyone they live with. To help them feel better it is important you keep in contact with them, letting them know you care about them and they are an important part of your life.

Stop him. You will regret it later when you hed had problems and he has been planning in doing these things that are not meant to be at all!. My friend hanged herself and I knew she was going to do it. I dont know when, how, where but I just knew that the time will come where I would be attending her funeral. In the end I had lost a great friend and I didnt do anything at all. I shouldve talk her out of it and told her there are still amny things to do with her life. Tell him to survive. Do not quit in problems that CAN be solved. Tell him to hold on. Dont let him go way. If he does there will be many people affected by it and it would be a disaster in both parties. Just talk it over. Make thing look in a positive way.

Taking your own life is a selfish thing, you will never know what could have made your life better, being a friend and reaching out to help a friend in severe need is not wrong, if you can save his life by making it aware to the right people you are not at all in the wrong.

Imagine the guilt you would feel if your friend actually does commit suicide. You'd be more of a friend if you told everyone you knew, including your friend's parents!!! This may make your friend mad, but as time goes by, you'll be thanked. Your friend needs counseling. If there's a suicide hotline in your city, call it!

The most important thing is keeping your friend from committing suicide. Whatever is necessary is OK.

You should do everything possible to prevent a suicide. If that means talking to his family or even having him commited to a hospital, do whatever is necessary. You're saving somone's life.

your friend that wants to commit suicide just wants attention. spend more time with him/her and talk about things that are bothering him/her. it might make them feel better that someone does care.

If you see that there is a cry for help then you need to intervene and get help for your friend before it is too late.
-God Bless.
