tell him/her to give it one more day! no matter how bad they feel just tell them to go to sleep, to make themselves get some rest or something.

what you should do is try to convince your friend that its not worth taking his life because… then list reasons why you think that it isnt right to do it

i really hope this helps

do you believe will carry this threat out?

hey, what’s the update?
is everything alright?

tell him he can do that to himself, and you believe he will
but tell him that it’d be selfish
because you need him
tell him to give it one more day for you.

ask what makes him sad and tell him what you would do.

ask him if he’s okay…. whats the problem that got him there??? dont ask so you know?

*do

there is a use…. look you’ve got to be strong for him….

is he christian?

Hey I’ve been in your shoes…… I dont know how you feel but I know where your at..

you can help him by being you, obviously he’s talking to you for a reason!
tell him to look at life in a larger picture.
he can do anything anything in the world. there are rules, laws, and things people have conformed to, but as a human you can make anything happen.
he can hitch a plane to paris tonight if he tried hard enough.
i’m a complete optimist but i believe this.

tell him you need him.
and you need him to need something bigger than relying on his problems with friends and family.

take a deep breath. i think you’re really helping him. are you on the phone with him or what?

ohh geeze. facebook.
have you made any progress?

Whatever is going on Just dont relay any negativity tell him you Care for him and tell him that giving up is never the answer….. And remind him that whats going on between his mother and father is NOT his fault. Let him know that your right beside him to help him through whatever he is going through and let him know that God is there beside him and if he needs him and truly needs confort all he has to do is ask,,,,,,, How long has this been going on??

thats not so bad. at least he’s doing something, which may help to get his mind off things. tell him this is all temporary and he doesn’t know what he’ll miss if he’s selfish and takes his own life.
don’t feel bad, there’s nothing magic you can say that will make him change the way he thinks. just keep trying and be there for him.
he knows you care, that’s why he’s talking with you.
