I have a friend who needs serious help please respond!!?

Well my friend is like, really depressed and she's always like wearing dark grays and black and stuff, but that is like totally not her issue right now. She's like thinking about commiting suicide just because she thinks people are spreading rumors about her and her crush doesn't really want to tell her he likes her. She's thinking about jumping off this really high bridge and she has been cutting herself (well no she did once but she doesn't want to do it again) and she says she will kill herself if her crush doesn't like her for real. My other friend and I have been telling her to see a therapist to talk about this but she refuses to talk to one and I'm worried about her I don't want to see her kill herself or anything. Her parents are divorced also and her mom doesn't care about her and favors her brother more and he has ADHD so he has beaten her up quite a bit and her mom still doesn't care so that's probably what triggered her depression. What can I do to help her?

Tell a teacher that you trust about it, or the schools psychiatrist. She needs HELP NOW. she's obviously crying out for it, do not wait till it's too late.

Go to your parents, ask for help,tohelp your friend and do it now!

tell her dad how desperate her situation is and how much she needs him and his help

Be in prayer for her and take her to a conselor and see what they have to say. Tell your mom about her. Take her to church and let her talk to the Pastor or the First Lady.

You need to tell her you care about her and ask her to go see the school councellor.

wow im so sorry
does she talk to her crush?
do u think he has any hope of liking her, or is it a nerd-likes-a-really-popular-person thang??
you need to tell her that she means the world to you, and get all of your friends and hers and maybe throw a party or sumtin
but just tell her that u luv her and u care about her too much to not help her
tell her to get her feelings out by writing, or on a pillow or something
and tell her to go see a therapist or call a hotline [i dont know any but try googling "teen hotline" or sumthin]
and tell her that if she commits suicide, she will not only impact you and your friends but a lot of people...
she could be the influence for more suicides...etc...
and that that is the absolute WRONG WAY to deal with anything!!
tell her that i believe in her, even if she doesnt know me
hope i helped :))

Hun Lindsay S has the Best advice!

Tell the school counselor and your parents. Also, find out a teen hotline number and give it to her.

I have recently went through something similar with a friend on yahoo answers and 360 although his situation was different he is bipolar and schizo affective. I have always been able to talk to him and calm him down. One night i saw his blast and it frightened me. I got him on messenger and could tell right away he was manic and off his meds. He was saying he wanted to die and he was going to take his family and his wives family with him. This night he would not let me call him and it went downhill real fast. He disconnected from me on messenger and i called the police in the town that he lives in. They found him before he could do any damage. I don't know where he is or anything but i do know that if i had done nothing and he did succeed i could not have lived with myself. The thing i am trying to get at is be there for her. Listen to her be a friend to her. and if you feel she really is going to kill herself do not be afraid to call the police for help. If you don't and she does manage to kill her self you would not be able to live with yourself. It is better to err on the side of caution than to think ah she will never do it and then she does. Hope this helps.

I agree with Lindsay S. Get her help now before it's to late.

She might not open up to authority like she did with you. You might have to go to the cops about it. The cops will get her into the hospital and she might be very upset with you but remember she is safe and will get help that she needs. Remember that she still cares for you even though she is upset with you. She is upset with you because she is sick and you tried to help her.

Even though this is not happening to you, you can call a teen crisis line to find out what you can do to help her and to find out what resources there are for someone in her position.

You are a great friend to be so concerned and to want to help her!
