Answers:
Be there for him, go to him if you can!. His problem though is not something you can cure, there will be times he will want to die and there will be times when things don't look so bad!. Only he can work his way out of his depression, just show him that you care and tell him you will always be there if he needs youWww@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with dreamer, the best thing you can do is be there for him, and if he ever feels like he wants to die, and he tells you try to remind him of all the reasons he has to live!. This may not make him stop thinking that way forever, but it may help him to not end it right then!.

I know what he is going through, I have felt the same way and have wanted to take my own life, but my friends told me everything I had to live for, and that has stopped me in my tracks many times!. So that is all the advice I can give you!.

I hope that something I said can help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

what he needs most right now is for you to be there for him!. Dont yell at him for cutting, that just makes things worse!. Remind him that the people around him love him, and that he should never inflict pain on himself!. If he needs attention, give him attention!. Most people who say they want to die dont really want to die!. You should tell somebody else about it, and dont be the only one carrying the burden of this information!. Tell your mom, or older sister and maybe they can help you!. I have very similar problems, (people around me cutting) and ive told my mom!. She told me that if it didnt stop, that she would find a way to help my friend!. What you should do now though is be there for him!. All he needs is someone to tell him that they love and care for him!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go to your friend hug him when you first see him and just talk to him ask him what is wrong!. Whatever it is tell him we all have problems in life the best way to solve them is to just get threw it, there are people like David Pelzer who've been through hell!. Tell him your there for him for whatever his problems maybe and whatever problems you face now may not matter a year from now (may) hence this problem may not be worth killing yourself over!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell his parents immediatly!. It will upset him alot!.!.!.but cutting is an addiction and suicidal thoughts is not a good thing!. If you care for him, it will be more important that he gets help, then it will be to have him be happy wit you!.
Please get him help!. Try talking to him and telling him how concerned you are and how much you care for him and need him to get help!.

Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

I actually used to cut myself!.
Well sometimes I still do!.
It's a hard thing to stop!.
But what you should do is just tell them that you know that you
don't competely understand but you want to help!. (i'm guessing you don't sorry if it seems rude!.) Let them know they can talk to you anytime they want and to just call you!.
My friend did that and it helped a lot!.

Good luck!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sweetie!.!.!.!.please tell an adult!. I know you said it won't help, but they are the ones that can get the real help for your friend!. Your friend needs to see a therapist or be hospitalized if he is really suicidal!.

It is better to tell an adult then to lose your friend to suicide!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

first talk to him about it!. then tell him that he needs to get help!. if he refuses, then you will have to tell someone about it!. you are doing the right thing by telling someone about it even though he doesn't want you to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

talk, talk about everything
even force it out of him!.

i used to cut when i was about 15 too :(
no one would talk to me about problems
i was always on my own!.

just let him know you're there for him, and actually mean it!.
:)
