k..I know we are all a bunch of happy go lucky ravers/clubber/TA, but I have a problem. I have a friend who apparently came very close to taking her life tonight. She lives just over 2 hours away, and is only 16(im 20) I knew she was depressed(what 16 year old isnt?) but this is well..too much. I tried to help her out, and just talk to her, but Ive never been the one on the other end of the phone. What should I say next time I talk to her? Im sure somebody can help me! Shes a great girl, just little off. Oh and shes already on drugs(dunno what tho).
WHAT DO I DO!
ps sorry if I rub some rough spots in this thread, but I need to help her out. |

i can totally relate to this thread. [someone i know] tried to kill herself a few months back before her and i were going out because she was depressed. she used to drink and she was very very lonely. you need to treat her like a girlfriend and tell her how much you care about her future and how she has a future. you can really help this girl out, i really helped out my friend. sorry if this is too brief, i will come back later and help you out more. i can help you and your friend...i hope :(

| Wow. I'm not sure what to say, here. I don't know the exact situation but many times when a person makes an attempt at taking their own life, it is really a call for help. Most people that are really serious about taking their own life are successful at it and they usually do it without warning. I'm not saying that this is the case with your friend. One thing you might do is remind her that she is still young and there is so much living to do and ask her why she would want to waste all of that just because of how she's feeling right now? Tell her that she is so lucky to have life in the first place. You might remind her that there are so many people on this earth that would do just about anything to trade places with her. People with AIDS or cancer....you know...people that are dying that want more than anything to live. Tell her that she's got one chance on this planet and ask her why she would even consider throwing that all away. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is THAT bad that is worth ending it all over. Tell her that even if things don't seem to be going good for her right now....assure her that it will pass and things will get better. Challange her to show you how strong she can be by sticking it out. I really don't know what else to say....you're dealing with something that can be very fragile and I don't want to give you any bad advise. Just hope that it's a call for help and not her true intentions.....then somehow, she needs to get that help. |

| Ow, this is some serious . I nearly would say FINALLY something else then stupid threads about #th posts and questions about images. But it's a very bad situaion I think. I (fortunately) dont have any experiences with this, but what I do know is you have to help her out of course...I dont think I can help you with it but good luck with it man... |

I live in Vegas which has the biggest Teen Suicide rate in the country....and i had 3 people i knew kill them selfs..... there are some facts that are usually very true....
when someone says they are trying to kill them selfs it means they crying for help...
female try to commit suicide more then males but males actually commit suicide more...
when soimeone tells u or makes u think there going to commit suicide..... u actually need to stop being a good friend ..and actually get some help from someone ..for her.... she might be pissed of u for telling someone else...but hey better have her upset at u then having her kill her self...... cuz rather lose her friendship then having her dead .....thats what i said to my self..... if anyone told me they were going to kill them selfs and i felt like they ment it.....i would call some right away...cuz it sucks u have a friend or someone not live anymore for that reason...it really sucks and hope no one goes through that |

try this but don't hold me liable if it don't work....*searching for pamplets on depression and suicide*....
first....find out how she wants to kill herself..and help her remove as far away from this method or situation...someone (her family, friends) else may as well be able to help her out...seek someone to help you help her...be a good listener...suicide is serious/cant treat in one day....she needs some serious counseling help person to move to finding reasons to live...tell her there's ppl who love her and care about her give person number to nearest crisis clinic and have her call....or give you permission to call
this stuff taken from a worksheet put together from my fabulous Psychology instructor at school.....hope it helps....
dude, STOP wasting time in here posting stuff now and go help the girl, don't leave her site until she has professional help.....u can do it !!! :)

| Proffesional Help is what you need... Theres plenty of resources available for you to get info about helping your friend... I think that www.teencentral.net has resources on suicide/depression, etc. Just make sure that someone (even if its not you) helps your friend... I hope everything works out, and keep us posted... |

I agree with that, I think that she needs professional help, that's the best way IMHO |
