Suicide???!


Question: Suicide!?!?!?
What do you do when one of your friends say they want to committ suicide!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You tell your friend how much they mean to you, and point out all the wonderful things about themselves that they aren't capable of seeing!. List out the people that love them!. Someone mentioned your friend might be doing it for attention, and if she is, so what!? Either way, she does need attention, so give it to her!. A lot of suicidal people are lonely, and think no one loves them, send her an IM, call her, and do it everyday just to show your thinking of her, and hang out with her in your free time!. (Sorry, I was assuming your friend is a she, so we'll pretend "she" is!.) Don't act like your checking up on her, treat her normally, while still letting her know you achknowledge her problem and are there for her!. She needs someone to depend on!. She might be clingy at first, but it will get better!. It depends if you think you can handle it!. If not, suggest counseling for her, or secretly talk to her parents, make them promise not to tell, and they can send her to counseling!.
Also, the whole, "if your friend says she's suicidal, then she's just saying it and won't kill herself", that is completely false!. She may trust you enough to share this burden, and is probably completely serious about wanting to die!. She may be subconsciously looking for help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You immediately tell and you help them get professional help!. You are not trained to deal with this situation!. You can call:

1-800-SUICIDE 1-800-784-2433

or

1-800-273-TALK 1-800-273-8255

They have counselors there that can talk to your friend and can also talk to you about how to help!.

Never assume that the person is okay until they have been evaluated by a professional!.

Good luck and your friend is lucky to have a friend like you who is concerned and is taking this seriously!.

You tell them that suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems!.

What's going on now is temporary!. You'll grow, and eventually you'll have the option of listening to those family members, or just ignoring them!. The things that have been going wrong will not result in permanent harm - the job will straighten itself out, the smashed car can be replaced, the girlfriend may move on, but there are other girls!.

Stay with us!. You are the only one of us who can accomplish the destiny that has been laid out for you!. (What, you want me to do my thing AND become rich and famous like YOU were supposed to!?!?!?) Seriously, you are not with us here on Earth to be a burden or a pariah - you are here to fulfill your place on the team and to do the great things that will have folks remember you forever!.

Talk to an adult!. Talk to the guidance counselor at school, or a friend's mom, or the minister at church, or even the produce guy at the supermarket!. You don't have to be all complaining about each problem, but you do have to ask what value you have here with us!.

Get the answers!. Your value is something you have to know about, and you can't leave without learning what that value is!.

There are a lot of statistics out there!. Be a person we know and care about, not a cold statistic on some list!.

Stay with us!. Permanent solutions to temporary problems don't make sense!.

That's what you do!.

try to be with them more and sometimes they just say it to get attention and it's hard to know when they mean it!. be with them as much as you can, but if someone is going to commit suicide they have signs, If they say it openly I don't think they will do it because they know people are going to stop themWww@Answer-Health@Com

You ask them why they would take there own life!? Hear them out and let them know that they have support and that suicide is the last thing that they want to think about!. Tell them that suicide is a very selfish act and you need to let them know that!. There are other people in this world who probably depend on them to do things and who actually love them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think if some one has a mental health problem,they do get suicidal thoughts and sometimes say that they wish they were not here but from experience someone who really wants to die does not tell anyone and usually goes of alone to do it without telling anyone!.Just stay close to your friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Be there for them, be a true friend, and say that you REALLY REALLY don't want them to commit suicide!. Say that there are many people who love them and would be heartbroken if they committed suidcide!. One of my friends tried to commit suicide three times!. She's getting help now, and she's alright again!. and NEVER do what Disney Girl says!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Get them to a counselor immediately - in some form, even if it is via an emergency room or by calling 911!. Take it seriously!.!.!. it is far better to err on the side of caution in this scenario!.

Good luck, and thanks for being a concerned friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
