What do you do when a friend tells you they want to die, but whenever you try to talk to them about it, they just say that you wont understand because you have never experianced it nor will you ever.
I keep telling her that if she will just tell me, then I might be able to help her.
I'm really scared right now. after i told her that, she just logged off and didn't answer anything i sent to her.
I'm afraid to call her house because her dad is pissed off at her and me calling would just make it worse.
She has been showing signs of someone considering suicide lately and I don't know what to do....
I'm going to tell someone first thing tomorrow morning, but I don't know what to do tonight....
Try calling the police or someone else you can trust. There's strength in numbers, after all.
True.
Don't stalk her, but don't leave her alone for long periods of time, talk to your/her closest friends and take shifts to "watch" her.
I can't think of anything else now.
Maybe if you got to talk to her again tell her you may not be able to understand but you're there for her.
Uhmmmm
I'd still try to call her, if I were you...
Unless it'll lead to something worse.
Uhmm yeah I can't think of anything else right now... >.<
I really want to call her, but I honestly think it might trigger something if I do. Her dad is a jerk. I know he used to hit her and stuff like that, now he pretty much just verbally abuses her as far as i know. I don't want him to explode on her right now because of me calling...
What if she kills herself and I didn't do anything... that is one of my biggest fears. omg...
O.O
Uhmmmmmmmmmmm
Me and my stupid pea-sized brain >.<
I had a feeling that her dad was something like that..
But let's see...
I do think you should call the police or someone else, as Mags suggested.
Can you go over to her house, by any chance?
Or would that be just as bad as calling?
Well, evidently, you're doing the very best you can now, so if you feel any shame at the end of this, you shouldn't.
Have you tried talking to your own parents for help, too?
I can't drive well, and I'm not close enough to walk. going over would be just as bad, if not worse
I don't know her address so I don't think it would help calling the police.
my parents are asleep.
Judging by your hint, waking them up would be a bad idea? This is a serious situation; why wouldn't they understand?

Yeah, just keep it cool. Call the police if you lose sleep over it.
thank you guys for the support.
We are all a family. No one is going to be left behind.
thank you. =/
its just that the first person i asked for help told me that it wasn't their problem if one of my friends wanted to die.
Pfft, tehn that person obviously doesn't care. ._.;;
Don't give up hope, k?
Or is that teh righ thing to say?

Wow, that's kind of brutal for that person to say. >_<
I hope we were of help, though. Just keep coming back if there's still a problem, 'kay? :)
I will. thank you guys so much. I called a hotline and they said that based on the things my friend said, they didn't think she would do anything tonight.
but that i needed to try and calm myself down and tell an adult first thing tomorrow morning. hopefully everything turns out for the best.
i will keep you all updated, i suppose.
and you all helped me out a lot. thank you.
I'm pretty sure if someone is doing this they don't really mean it.
Not to make you angry and such but...
A lot of people do it because they crave attention because, judging from this girls father, She doesn't get enough.
She probably likes you and her other friends, she just doesn't get enough Parental attention.
I know that I start feeling... Emo for lack of better words, when I get ignored by my parents a lot.
except she has shown signs of someone thinking of suicide. ie. sudden change in appearance, stopped talking to her friends, etc.
