Suicide. . .?!


Question: Suicide!. !. !.!?
My best friend is seriously comtemplating suicide!. He has been having suicidal thoughts for several months and have been confessing them to me, and he says that he is going to take his own life to end all of his pain!. I love him deeply and I couldn't bear to see him kill himself; I beg him not to do it, but he won't listen to me!. He won't listen to anyone else, and he won't call the suicide hotline, either!. I tell him I love him and that I'll always be there for him and I'll always listen, and it seems to be helping, but he's still contemplating suicide!. What can I do to influence him to get help!? Please give me suggestions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
