THANK YOU ….
First of all…for caring…you care. You didn’t immediately go to your parents so you could justify it with “I did the right thing” …
You could have just become miserable with him/her so you can say “I was being there for them”
But you didn’t, you are seeking help, for that person… 🙂 I am so happy that you did so, and I am thanking you for that person…
First off, I would talk more about what they plan to do, how they plan to do it, WHEN they plan to do it, and WHY they plan to do it…
If they cannot answer most of those questions, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they won’t attempt, but it shows they haven’t thoroughly thought about it…
If you need anymore advice talk to me at: stolenname123@yahoo.com

show him it or pass it onto him somehow, please
If he’s talking cuz he’s really asking for help, then with his consent, tell your parents or seek help from a professional. And if he really wants to die then you’ve got to be there for him, so don’t shy away when he needs you most, cuz your continued friendship could easily mean the difference between life and death for him. Again if it gets to much, seek professional help. I hope that helps…
K3T you sound like a nice kid, you really do, but not everyone wants your religion in their lives. It should enough for you to talk to suicidal people and say I understand your pain, I hope you get better, without you wanting to convert them… sorry, but that just turns many people off K3T! Peace…
Talk to him babe…maybe he told you because he wants you to be there for him but dont tell your parents!!! for god sake don’t unless you truely believe that he is going to because by doing that alot of things will happen after trust me!!! It happens with my friends all the time and it has completely ruined their lives you could say…
