Someone I know is very depressed and has suicidal thoughts?!
Question:
Someone I know is very depressed and has suicidal thoughts?
He never shows his feelings and he says he's incapable of feeling any emotion anymore. He said ever since he was little he used to pray to God and ask to die. He hates his parents and his parents don't understand how he is feeling, and he really wants to talk to someone but his parents won't take him seriously. He hasn't talked to anyone about this and I'd really like your advice. I also want to know what type of problem he might have.

He had a rough childhood and his father was abusive too.
Answers:
Talk to the adults around you. Your parents, your teachers, the school counselor any adult you trust. The fact is that people who talk about suicide or wanting to die often DO kill themselves despite beliefs that people mistakenly hold that they won't if they are talking about it.
Keep talking with your friend. Ask the adults you trust how to go about helping. You have an important opportunity to help your friend.
