Looks like its another one of her ways to get attention. However, things like this shouldn't be taken lightly. If you think her parents would do something about it then why don't you call them. If you think they will just brush it off let someone, maybe a school counselor or police officer know. Talk to your parents and see what they think. Maybe they know someone to contact about it. Good Luck with everything. I hope you or someone can talk some sense into this girl.

This is so unfair on you. It's hard I know. I had a friend that attempted suicide twice. Thankfully she failed. She spent some time in a secure unit at a local mental health hospital. At the least this enabled her to see a psychotherapist and a psychiatrist. She still attend psychotherapy and she has been prescribed medication.
Why don't you try to get her to see her GP to instigate some help. You could offer to go with her.
Good luck.

Call 911 & make a "mental hygene arrest" anonomously.Tell them that she threatens suicide.All this means is that they will come & pick her up for a mental evaluation & release her that same day.They will get her into counciling & give her meds if needed.This girl is screaming out for help,,lie or no lie,,they will be able to get to the root of what is troubling her.Now,,do the right thing.If she kills herself,,you will wish that you did.lol2u.

You need to tell an adult...whether it be her parents, a teacher or guidance counselor, your parents. But don't wait any longer. Please, for your friends sake, as well as your own, please tell a responsible adult and hold nothing back. It just may save your friend's life!

if you know someone is gonna commit suicide and you do not do nothing about it, you can be charged of a crime. by telling someone or the police, you can save her life. she might hate you afterwards but you know that you love her and you have done the best for her.
don't say that she will hate you because what can you do after she's gone.
it is a dilemma. either way you will regret it. if you let your friend die, you will be guilty. it would be just like killing her yourself.
but if you tell someone, she might not be your friend anymore.
so take your pick.
whatever you choose........

oh dear, you friend causing you stress, the thing is when people do decide to kill themselves, they are usually quiet about it, and often appear relaxed this is because they have made their mind up to end thier suffering, all the same i think your friend needs support from a more professinonal personal. go to your library ask aobut counselling services, the church,s have counsellling services free, ask for help and she may need some anti depressants as well. she neeeds to see her doctor and take responsiblility for her own issues, instead if she wants to get better.

As everyone has said, tell her parents, if she lives alone tell someone in authority.
She sounds like someone I used to know who threatened this and never carried it through. They used it as a weapon to get me to give them attention and tried to make their life my responsibility. It's her responsibility to make her own life happy but you can give her a head start by talking to the people in authority.

Call the cops and tell them that your worries. They will take her to get the help that she needs. Good luck honey. It's hard, but that will save her life and she will thank you later for it.

It does sound like attention seeking, but not in a "bad" way. I had a friend who continually said she was contemplating suicide. She was also a self-harmer with no desire to cover up her wounds. My gut feeling is your friend won't go through with it because she's made such a big show of it (That's not to say you shouldn't be worried though). But you really do need to tell someone, because genuinely suicidal or not, she needs help!!
Telling her parents or telling a teacher is probably a good idea. Your school (if you're at school!) may well have a counsellor who can talk to your friend and find out what is really causing her lying/suicidal nature. She's being so dramatic that I suspect subconsciously she wants to be found out.
The other thing you can do is to stick by her and keep reassuring her that you like her as she is and you care about her whatever. If she lies, it's probably due to low self-esteem, feeling no one would care if they knew the truth.

First, tell her parents! Then show her how much you care about her, and that you don't want to see her go. Show her that she matters, and that killing herself won't solve anything. Maybe get with her in her room, and call the suicide hotline on speakerphone.

I'm sorry you have to go through this but please understand this requires professional help. You must understand that there is most likely nothing you can say or do to help your friend and you also have to understand that if something happens to her you are not responsible for what your friend does. Please contact a suicde prevention hot line or a doctor, don't wait even if she is still out and about. Hope this helps.

Sounds like a cry for help and perhaps you are the one that she is asking to help her. Serious suiciders do it quietly and often with consideration for those that might find them. Unfortunately many cries for help go wrong and the attempted suicide become real suicide.
Perhaps you could try to pry out of her what is making her feel so wretched, might take time to get to the bottom of it but first try to find out who it is that might be the problem. Go to her parents or partner straight away and it might be them and her feeling of betrayal might tip her over the edge, on the other hand you might get it wrong.
If I was in your position I would be using my gut feelings about the situation and in any case find a professional help line you can call anonymously (they are almost certain to be so) and get some guidance on how best to handle it *in their opinion* and take it from there. The yellow pages or telephone book is a good place to look for local numbers or search the Internet but whatever way speak to a real person about it.

If the worst should happen, you need to be able to look back and say "I did everything I could"
Thats the way to look at it.

It's a lot for you to carry around all that worry and it isn't fair to YOU. Tell her parents, a school counselor, your parents, whatever will help you unload the worry and your feeling responsible to try to prevent her from harming herself. You really can't do more than tell someone that can help her and even then she will ultimately have to decide if she wants help. Threats of suicide are often a cry for help whether it is also a cry for attention or not. It's too much for you or any one person to carry.
She may get angry if you tell someone, but do it anyway.
It's the best way to help her and to help YOURSELF.

Well it all depends on why she wants to kill herself..!! Try and talk to her calmly about whats on her mind ...even if she sounds like an attention seeker still confide in her as it may clear her head if you talk to her correctly...Unless she has just lost a child or something then there's not much you or anyway can say to sort that one out..!! OK there are options as people have said like speaking to her parents,police etc..But that is not all ways the best answer as it may push her to do more harm than good..Decide yourself how critical the matter is then go with your instincts....at the end of the day even if she was an attention seeker its still a cry for help.....Goodluck...x..

You need to report this to someone. My husband killed himself and I called the police the moment he left the house. He didn't threaten it like she is, but even if she's just doing it for attention, she might succeed. It's better to lose her friendship because she's angry than to wonder what you should have done later. You can't stop her, but you can let someone professional try. Either way, she needs medical help.

It's important that you make the right people aware of what your friend is telling you so that she can get help. Even if she is just making up stories and she doesn't intend to harm herself. Her behavior is a clear cry for help. Tell her parents. Talk to the school counselor or any other adult you trust so they can help you manage this situation. Good Luck.

Call the police!!!!Get in contact with her family members and other friends, Stay around her as much as possible. She is reaching out!!!Please, take her very seriously and please call the police. They will get her help. Your friend is very troubled and she needs medical help right away. Best of luck. You are a very decent, caring and great friend to her but you cannot handle this alone.

If she's seriously considering doing it... she needs professional help.
If she's just doing it for attention... she STILL needs professional help (there is a deeper meaning behind that behavior)
Talk to her parents if you could, you know what type of people they are.
Talk to her yourself if you could. Make sure she knows you will always be her friends and that you care about her.
If you can't talk to her parents or talk to her yourself, contact the police. Tell them your concerns...they can investigate and get her the help she needs. You can do this anonymously if you wish.
I hope everything works out fine.

Don't carry that load all by yourself. Talk to her mother and dad, the police.......someone that can get her help.
She may just be going to the extremes to get attention but, then again, she may not be. It is very hard to tell.
Good luck. Pops

She is a terrible drain on you and not really much of a friend at all. To share this with you and then not contact you is very uncool.
She is very depressed by the sound of it. She needs professional help since all of this attention seeking is a cry for help- even if she does not actually try to kill herself this sort of morbid behaviour is not an indication of a well balanced or happy individual. Speak to a teacher or adult who will listen. If you are not being heard you should find a organisation which deals with teenagers in your area or health care professionals and get them involved. Failing that call the police. It is important you get help for this girl. She has raised the alarm and has forced you to take responsibility for her life now since she has shared this with you. Good luck I hope it all turns out well for you (and her)
