This guy I've been talking to for a while called me last night and told me his best friend was hit by a drunk driver and died. He's talking to me on the phone and he's going hysterical, sobbing, and asking me why life is so unfair because his friend was such a great guy. After half an hour or so I manage to calm him down and all he keeps asking me is do you love me? I tell him as a friend I reallyy do, but that's it because I hardley know him. (He's liked me for a while- but he's 18, I'm 15...so I never really thought anything of it) Basically he goes, well thats all I want in my life..for you to love me, so he sais he has nothing left to live for and he's going to kill himself and then hangs up. I called him, text him...and no reply. So this morning he calls me back and sais well thatks for being such a good person and being there for me...but at this point, I'm freaking out. I want nothing to do with him anymore...and he keeps threatening suicide. What do I do?!

See your medical doctor as soon as you can. Good Luck.

He's being a manipulative jerk, trying to use emotional blackmail on you. Don't fall for it, is my advice.
Get the number of a suicide hot line near you, and if he calls again give him the number. It's totally unfair to rope a 15 year old into this sort of stuff.
I talk people out of suicide a lot, but I'd never ask YOU to do it. It's hard work, and takes a toll. But you're a good person to try. Just don't do it from now on, ok?

You're only 15, you're not responsible for the happiness or mental stability of an 18 year old adult. He just put way too much pressure on you. Probably because he doesn't want to be the only one who feels miserable. That's what depressed people do -- they want other people to know and feel their pain. This is very unhealthy and not a nice thing for a "friend" to do. If he keeps bothering you, tell your parent(s).

You need to tell others. His family, your family and possibly the authorities. This fellow needs some help. Fortunately most people that talk about suicide usually are crying out for help. If you tell people that can intervene then you can rest assured that you've done everthing you can to help and what happens after that is beyond your control...good luck

This guy will alway be this way. Get away from him. You could let 911 know that he said he was going to kill himself, but please know you are not responsible for what he does. This is very manipulative. He may kill himself, but this is a way of controling you. Get out of this relationship now. Tell your parents what is going on. Maybe they can tell his parents.

He's scamming you!!!!!! 18 year old boys will do anything,use any situation to get over. And not just boys.
Quit answering his calls. Tell your best friends, tell your parents, tell your school counselor. IF, and it's a small possibility, this jerk does himself, you ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. Keep strong.

Tell his parents, he isn't blaming you, he's fixated on you and he seems to be suffering from sever grief, and needs to talk to a professional.

well if you want nothing to do with him just avoid him.
if your afraid of him killing himself i wouldn't pretend to love him if i were you i would just be nice to him and wait for him to calm down and also introduce him to a place called Scientology (helped me a damn lot)
if you do introduce him to scientology im sure he will get better.
just search the web for the closest one to him.
hope i helped!
