Sonya	Tell her parents, so they can get her help. And fast! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

quennethe	There should be a suicide hot line in your area that you can call. If that doesn't work does she still live with her parents? It may hurt your friendship but you need to tell them she will try again. They need to think about putting her in a institution for help. If there are no parents to help then maybe you need to get her committed. If someone tries to kill themselves they can be involuntarily committed. She needs to be under constant supervision until she get the therapy she needs. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mind in fog	Ok, listen, some people go to psychiatrists, or psychologists, and they still committ suicide. So, that should tell you something right there. Basically what I am saying is get help for her, get proffessional help for her. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

be-CKY	To be quite honest - If she still wants to do it, there's nothing you can really SAY to change her mind. People don't decide spontaneously to end their life - she must have put a lot of thought into this decision - and sadly chose death as the only option. As with most, if not all suicide victims, your friend probably feels like the bad in her life outweighs the good, so much that she can no longer cope with life itself. The best thing you can do now is be a friend. Actions talk louder than words - Let her know that you are there for her, and that she's loved. Friends and family are crucial in the recovery process - she needs to know she's not alone. Just by spending lots of time with her over the next few months, it not only lets you keep an eye on her, but also reassure her that she's not alone and death isn't the only option. On a final note, try and act normally around her. This situation happened, so don't ignore it. Most suicide attempts are "a cry for help", so pretending this didn't happen in an attempt to get back to normality may result in you friend reacting negatively. On the other hand, don't think of her as abnormal or a time-bomb, waiting to self-destruct. Although these feelings are inevitable, try for the sake of your friend to suppress them - she is still the same person you know and love, just trying to recover from an illness (depression is an illness). On top of this, it is important that you are approachable to her in her time of need - talking helps, and is a necessity in the recovery process. However, it is crucial that this is on her terms. Under no circumstance try and get her to open up to you. This will weaken the friendship, and have an overall negative effect. She'll open up when she's ready, and not beforehand - just be there to lend a supportive ear. Unfortunately, there is no miracle cure for depression, and is understood less that many physical diseases, but if you're there for her and try some of the things I mentioned above, you can maybe contribute to your friends recovery. I hope this has helped slightly. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

GuggieFUN	If someone wants to end their life and they have their mind set on it, there's really no stopping them. All you can do is get them professional help and let them know you are there to support them if they need it. A lot of suicide attempts are just warning signs of someone asking for help without knowing how to actually physically say "I need help"...So just make sure she knows you love her and she has people surrounding her that want her to live and help her. Get her professional help and there are clinics to submit her to that'll watch her more carefully 24/7. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Smarty Pants	You need to get some serious help for your friend. When a person is in so much mental pain that they think that suicide is the only way to get it to stop, they need professional help. There is only so much that family and friends can do when a person is mentally ill. You need to tell her family the thoughts she is having and that she has tried to commit suicide and let them help get some professional help for her. In the mean time keep telling your friend that you love her, let her know that her life has meaning and that the world would not be as beauitful without her in it. Above all else please tell her family and get them involved. If she confided in you and doesn't want you to tell, tell anyway! She may be mad at you at first but, It could mean the difference between having your friend in your life or seeing her die. Good luck hun, I hope this helps. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jhartmann21	Sorry, but you are only adding fuel to the fire. One of the motives for killing yourself is to "punish" the survivors by making them feel bad once you're dead.
