My friend keeps saying she wants to take her life due to a recent breakup with ehr bf.....have you got any advice i can give to her?

You need to tell her parents, and she needs to get help.

 

[Tranceptor2K9]

thats another problem......she doesnt really get on well with her parents...

 

[acesupercoolme]

That doesn't matter... her parents still have to know about that.

Jack, she just needs someone she can really have a chat too. Someone she can talk to and open up about everything. A shoulder to cry on.

I've dealt with this before. The amount of times people say they want to end thir life, and don't actually do it, is huge.

It depends how well you know her. If you know her pretty well and her family too, maybe you could talk to her parents about it. But i wouldn't really recommend it, because people tend to take stuff like that seriously, and they can get annoyed about it.

All she really needs is someone to open up to.

I agree.

I had the same thing happen to a close friend of mine. Almost did himself in. Thought I was gonna lose him, but thank goodness I talked him out of it.

Tell her parents
Tell school counselor
Tell whatever adult she is closest too
Be there for her and dont let her hurt herself. If her parents/your parents agree to it, sleep at her house so you can be sure nothing happens during the night.

basically, your friend feels unloved and inadequate at this point. any kind of unwarranted advice would most likely annoy her and she'll feel worse. i should know...cuz i went through it.

the best thing to do really is to be there for her and listen to what she has to say. let her do the talking cuz it really helps to open up. make her feel loved and always keep her surrounded with good friends. but not to the point of it being fake cuz she'd most likely see through it and think you guys are just pitying her. keep her busy with fun activites.

if that still dosen't work, you NEED to tell an adult that she trusts. or go to http://www.befrienders.org/ and find the number for the suicide hotline in your country.

Hi... I think that if someone truly wanted to take their life.. they wouldn't tell people about it.. they would secretly plan, and do it quietly. It's like when someone cuts themselves...they keep it quiet, and don't tell people.v
You need to get her help.

As the others have said, please get her help somehow. Tell her parents, relatives, doctor, anyone who could possibly help her. My friend attempted to OD on drugs and ended up in the hospital. It was a horrible experience, and thankfully he's getting help now, but don't let this happen to someone you love.

my friend he is 15, he does not live in the US like me but he tried to commit suicide. I am not saying this situation is not as bad cause it is, but my friend, Zack, he is really poor and lives in a third world country used to live in an orphanage (how i met zack when i went with my mom and dad) and he just thought he had not reason to live life cause he dosnt know his dad he takes care of himself, his mom, and still finds time to spend with his know ex girlfriend. He also got in with some bad dangerous dark kids.I asked him not to because of how much it would hurt me and the people who cared about him and he was like what people. So i made a list of all the names (it was two pages) and that kinda helped. Then obviously since i cant be actually with him i asked him to stay with a friend and kept contact with his friend who helped him through it all. He leaves me a message everyday on fb thanking me for that.

So just be there for her, tell her how its not worth it...do what i did write down all the names of the people who really care about her...or how many people she cares about. Have her stay with you, show her a betters side of life, help her out of her depression, you say she is not on good terms with her parents, but really PUT HER IN a place where people love and care for her! give that to her for me!

Tell her school conselor. She/he will be a great resource for your friend and someone that she can openly talk to. Someone told the school counselor that about my son and while it was not a true story she did call him down just to make sure. The best part of it is that it opened an amazing relationship between them that he would not have had otherwise. He has been out of school for a couple of years but he stays in touch with her still today. Don't wait to tell someone if not the counselor. You don't want to be sorry.

my last relationship i was really heartbroken but not to the point where she is.

I would tell her that its only a guy and trust me there are more guys out there for her.

 

[LittleMissMagic]

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I agree with telling her parents/your parents/school counselor/adult you trust.

 

[kps09]

That's really sad, I agree with the rest.. you need to inform her parents about her plan.. they are the only one who could help.

 

[sexymickey]

how long was they together???
Who is she closest to???
if her parents are close to her tell them but other wise the closest adult
just tell her that there will be other guys and it happend for a reason other than that sorry i got nothin

You have to tell somebody. This is such a serious matter and I dont think you should handle talking to her alone. Even if she doesnt get along well with her parents they need to know s maybe they can get her some perfessional help. You could also tell your parents.

But, if you ever think she is close to killing herself call the cops so they can stop her. Most hospitals will accept patients who are about to commit suicide.
