Help!

I need your help. I have this friend that I have known forever and she has started talking about killing herself. I have no idea how to help her. I need some suggestions.

you need to let her know that she's hurting you. And that you'd miss her if she killed herself. because most people who talk about it just want to see who would care if they left. You should also suggest that she get professional help.

^ Is very true.
Just let her know how much you love her, and that you will stick by her forever and try and help her better. Just dont try and force her not to do it, or force her to get help or anything. It just puts more pressure on and adds to her stress,

O wow. ya. im going through that at the moment too. It kinda depends actually. Is she only telling you this or more people? If she's telling a lot of people then i agree with everyone else. tell her how ull feel if she does. But if shes only telling you then u need to talk to her. I told my friend to pray that things will get better for her. i hope i helped u a lil.

The main thing to do in these situations is to get them to realize how much they'd hurt everyone else instead of "helping" the world. Like they commonly think.

you need to tell her how you feel and let her know that she isnt only hurting herself but she is also hurting everyone esle who loves and cares about her. good luck

Thanks for the advice. I will try some of these methods and I hope that they work.

Tell her to eat some jelly.

Hey baby, wow that is really a hard thing to go through, right now I am going through the same thing and it is driving me crazy b/c I love her and I she won't let me into her world to understand her. Talk to your friend, figure out how serious she is, if she is serious tell someone that can look after her. I know how crazy that sounds and yes it might make her had at you, but hunni think how crappy it would be if she did kill herself and you knew and didn't do something. She is talking about ending her life which means she needs some help sorting out a few things in her head, sometimes the bestfriend can't do that as much as we would like her to. Also, I have some poems on this exact subject called Suicide through Someone else's eyes and Leaving me Behind, maybe these might help her see what she is really talking about and she might realize what she would really be doing if she ended her life. A lot of times people really don't realize that killing themselves will end everything forever. I know the times I tried to kill myself I didn't really understand what it would be forever and finally understanding that is what stopped me from trying again. Best of luck baby! Let me know how things end up.
