    I don't know, be there for him and tell him how reasonably STUPID the decision he's questioning making is. you have to be quite forceful in these types of situations.

    I agree. All you can do right now is be there. Tell him about how he will be missed and how devastated you will (and others) if he went before his time.

    "tell him about how he will be missed" <-- i agree. explain how bad everyone would feel. also consider telling him that not only is suicide the cowards way out, it's also terribly selfish. as for blaming yourself? don't. you're not the one forcing him to consider this choice. he's doing that all on his own. it's no one's fault but his.

    Dont blame yourself. You can only do so much. You tried. Hope for the best.

    Here is what you do;

    1) Listen
    2) Don't Judge
    3) Ask Questions
    4) Call an agency!
