they need to understand that feelings will pass and that they should keep there minds and body's busy doing something be with some one who cares and medication may help but a positive out look on life is very important you should suggest going to a hospital right away if the sadness stays more then a few days

I would tell them about God.Also, i would spend lots of time with them. Leaving a suicidal person alone is obviously not a good idea, so if your'e too busy to spend time with her or him find somebody who can, say a relative or another friend. I strongly recommend medication because the counseling obviously isn't working.

have you told your friends parents? start with that. also, consider talking to a teacher at school and maybe a local youth minister. if they truly are suicidal, contact the police immediately and call a sucide hotline.

I've had lots of friends that have been or are sucidial and you just need to be there with them and let them know that you are there and that someone cares. Let him or her know that if they ever need to talk that you will be there.

Go with your gut. If a professional needs to intervene let them. People who are suicidal are in emotional turmoil and need help.

Just talk with them. They may need to take anti depressants. Try to get them into a church. They also may just want some attention. Help them find something they enjoy. And start to pray with them.

Everything you can. Get other friends to help/parents/teachers/etc... He will hate you at first and then he will thank you for giving him a reason to live. The reason of friendship.

Getting them to a counselor immediately is the first step. If as you say, they have already been and refuse to go back, then you should talk to them. If they believe in God and the afterlife, try talking to them from that perspective. Get some books for them to read about people who committed suicide and had near-death experiences. Have them talk to parents who had a child who committed suicide. Let them know the devastation that it will cause. They will only be transferring their personal pain to the ones they love. Get them as much information as you can to let them know what a mistake it is. And listen to their pain. If they won't go to a counselor, then you need to listen. You don't have to understand why they are in pain, but just know that they are and it is real. They must understand that there is a way out of the pain, but it will take time and effort on their part.
Ultimately, if somebody decides to kill themselves, there is nothing that you can do. People make their own decisions. All you can do is try and let them know that their decision is incorrect.

First of all, take him/her to have a free counselling session from a pastor of a Christian church near-by. Suicide does not solve anything, but will create problems. Heaven and Hell are real and eternal. Never slight them. God loves all of us, and is willing to forgive us if we come to Him through Jesus who died on the Cross to save us from condemnation, and qulifying us to Heaven.

tell them that most people go through a certain amount of years between teens and 20s that they are suicidal and ask them if they can get some mugwort for the depression to try and see if it won't help also sometimes coffee will help or just eating enough food on a daily basis and tell them that we all are part of this earth and have a right to be here, also thast you think they are a beautiful person and you don't like the thought of losing them. And Jesus loves them too.

If I had a friend who I believed was truly suicidal, I would talk with a school counselor about my concerns. Should this avenue of help be closed, I would approach my friend's parents/guardians, siblings, or others who might be capable of intervening.
As "just a friend", you are not capable of admitting your friend to a hospital for a 48-hour observation; but, if you believe your friend is seriously contemplating suicide, you must do everything you can to circumvent this.

The best way is to bring your friend to join group of friends and involve your friend with lots of activities. This will make her/him happy and may forget about all the unhappiness.

Try to get your friend to make a contact list of those they will talk to if they think of hurting themself. Have them write out the names and numbers and keep them in a place they are likely to be when their thoughts turn to suicide. As a friend, you provide the greatest support by being available and listening. Be careful, however, that you don't internalize their struggle and lose your way. Also, it can be difficult to know if you are helping someone through a crisis or if you are enabling their behaviors.

the only thing you can really do is listen. if her or his parents know that he or she is going through a hard time, then i don't know if calling them can help anything. just listen a LOT and make sure they dont do anything. if they say they will, try and talk them out of it and if that doesn't work give them a line to call, if that doesn't help, call their parents, if that doesn't help then you should tell your parents. take it seriously. good luck. i hope your friend feels better. let them know you care.

Pray with them. Try and get them to go to a church and talk with a Clergyman or a priest. If you think that your friend is going to do it, try and have them commit them selves for help. Depression is nothing to be ashamed of. And your friends life is worth trying to save. Bless you and Good Luck

OK...there are several things to be careful about. First..and this is VERY important...whatever you do, don't loan 'em any money! Truthfully, it's rare to know someone who is suicidal. The ones that go thru with it almost always keep their anguish to themselves. People that tell others, such as yourself, generally are crying out for attention. Something is happening, or at some point in the past happened, that has made this person the way they are. Being a good friend and listening helps...BUT don't buy into BS..tell them when their logic is wrong. A good friend tells you what you need to hear, not what you WANT to hear.

i have had few friends this way.. either tell them to give you the gun and you will do it.. (sometimes that makes it worse or resolves it) the last person i knew, i explained to them that they were just being selfish and only thinking of themselves.. when someone kills themselves, its not them it hurts, it is the people around them that care for them, ask them if they really want to hurt their family/loved ones.. ask them what would their loved ones would think, some of them would think that it was their fault this person killed themselves, it might even cause someone else to commit this dreadful act.. there is more to life than death... you can change life and you can improve it.. when you are in the bottom of the hole, the only way you can go is up..

Be there for them and advise them to keep looking for the "right" doctor and program to help them.
There are medications that can help.

Well I would push another counselor at my friend. Apparently the other ones where no good. Don't give up on your friend...That's one of the reasons they feel like that. They feel like no one cares or understands them Keep on it. You will probably feel like it's to much trouble or you don't have enough time...Remember one thing though is your friend worth saving? Get other people involved also to help you. God Bless you and your friend. I will be praying for you both...

Please encourage your friend to call 1-800-SUICIDE. They understand what it is like and they really can help.
If your friend doesn't want to call, then you should. They can help you understand what your friend is going through. They might be able to help you find resources and support in your area. And they can give wise advice about what you can do to support your friend. Please call.
