My friend is depressed and refuses to get help?!


Question: My friend is depressed and refuses to get help?
Okay, so my friend is a 14 year old girl. She just recently attempted suicide again. I really care about her and I'm worried to death about her. She says things like "I don't care anymore." I told her to get help but she said she doesn't want it. She just recently got out of an abusive relationship and says "He was the only person who helped me out of my depression. He was the one who kept me sane." She knows she doesn't want to feel this way anymore but she says "Nothing is worth getting help." She thinks it wouldn't work. I really don't know know what to do, she won't listen to me and I'm afraid she's going to kill herself.

Answers:

Tell her to smarten up! life is a one time thing. Once your dead, your dead...theres no coming back! you need to slap some sense into her and tell her to start beliveing. patience will pay off. it always does. she's 14 for crying out loud! she's got 50 years ahead of her and shes gonna throw it away!?!?!? tell her to go talk to someone who's on dialysis and waiting for a kidney or someone who has cancer and is desperate for one more day o spend with there family!infact, make her watch my sisters keeper or read it. maybe she will get some sense when theres and emotional story. god i hate people that are so dramatic!



She needs to know that there is more to life, she is worth it. Telling her to "get help" may just push her away. She needs to know what love is, real love, and only God can give that.



Report it to the an official at the school. She won't know that you told them



tell her parents...
