Friend contemplating suicide?!
Question: Friend contemplating suicide!?
The other day one of my really good girlfriends told me she's contemplated suicide!. I think I know her well enough that she would NEVER, but how do I really know!? She has complete trust in me that I would never say anything to anyone but I really want to help her but don't know how!? I've never been in that state of mind so I don't know what I can do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

No matter how well you think you know someone, you'll never be able to read their thoughts!. If she told you about it, the fact is that she's thought about!. Just mentioning it to you could be considered a cry for help!. Please, for her sake, don't get scared or freaked out!. She needs you!.
Some people might tell you that it's just for attention, and while that may be the case, would you even want to risk possibly losing your friend!? Be there for her!. Make plans with her!. Keep in constant contact with her (daily, or more, depending on what your relationship with her is like)!. And if she talks about hurting herself (cutting, self-injury, or attempted suicide), tell her parents right away!. If they don't believe you, tell your parents!. If you still can't get help, take her to the closest ER or Crisis Center!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, first try talking with her and see if she still wants to commit suicide!. but if you see that there's an actual possibility that she might!.!.!.tell somebody! any adult that you trust: a parent, guidance counselor, teacher!.!.!.anyone who you know will help her!. suicide is not a light matter, and many kids commit it!. i know it's hard now and she might get mad at you but in the long run it's better than her ending up dead!. i've been in a situation like this before, my friend was anorexic (which is pretty suicidal if you think about it), and she could have gotten very hurt if i didn't speak out!. if she dies and you knew you could have stopped her!.!.!.that will hang over your head forever!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
