i have made a load of new friends this year, but one of my friends informed me last night that since her parents got in to a divorce (2 years ago) she has been suicidal. i believe her parents know. how can i help her? what should i do?

I have one too.
It would make them really mad if you went and told someone.
They would want to kill you too. If they want help, let them get it.
You need to encourage her. Talk, laugh, and have fun with her. In the end it will pay off.
But she obviously doesn't want anyone to know since she just now told you, so keep it a secret.
Have as much fun as you can with her and maybe she'll be a bit happier. Good luck :)

Be there for her and continue to be a good friend to her like you are now. The last thing she needs is the whole school to know about her issue and other drama and yadiyadidya.
Try to talk to her but don't tell her what to do because I heard that you shouldn't tell a suicidal what not to do.
Talk to a counselor, teacher, priest. adult you trust and have her understand that you're doing this to help her not go against her....

Be with her all that you can. Keep her mind off of it.. Make sure she knows how much you care about her. Tell her she can call you anytime and you will be there for her.. If she told you about it.. she wants your help. Be there for her.. It's all you really can do. You might want to make sure her parents know.. and alot of people are going to tell you to call a councelor.. but depending on the situation that could make it worse honestly.. that's something you will have to judge.
Good luck. I'll pray for her.

first of all try to get her to talk to a counselor ... if she wont you may want to and see what they suggest ... be there for her .. listen to her when she talks ... talk to her ... get her out of the house ... do fun things ...remind her how much her parents love her ... her friends love her ... let her know you are there for her any time ... all she has to do is call you ... check on her ... try to get her involved in some clubs or organizations .. good luck !

try to talk to her, and it would not be a good idea to tell her parents bc im kinda like that, and if someone told my parents, i would probably never talk to that person for some reason.
i helped my friends with similar situations, and most of them are clean! :]]

well she probably wont do anything too rash because shes been like that for 2 years and nothings happened, but hang out with her and laugh as much as possible.
