Do the very best that you can1 Be strong for yourself and also your friend. Try to get her to talk about positive things, hobbies or girl things. Try to keep her from thinking about him, and hopefully this will help! Try to ask a school counselor or a teacher to confront her, ask her if things are alright. She may say that she doesn't want to talk, but deep down, she probably wants to scream. Be there for her always though; don't leave her side for any reason, or it just might drive her to suicide. For the time being, pray and also hang in there. God will help her through; it just may take some time!

Just hang in there . Professional help is good at times like this . Is there anything common between your friend and the reason that her bf committed suicide ? How is she dealing with the cutting now ?

If she does end up killing herself and u knew it you will regret it for the rest of your lif and hate your self.

don't pray or meditate though that can help right now your friend is in a very dark place and she doesn't know were to go you need to try to show your friend that there is a future out there for her

try to be with her where ever she is like invite her to your house alot or go places like the mall together and try to go to her house tell her how much you love her even though it doesn't sound like it helps(it does) but last year my family and friends found out I was suicidal telling me how much they love me was a help(only very few did)it helped a little I'm still suicidal but I'm getting to at least try not to be.

your not living if you don't take chances


If you want to talk do it when I'm not turned around and u don't have a knife in your hand

Tell her to pray.

Or meditate, but if she's Christian, she'll likely pray.

Funny how painful it is for me to say the word "pray".

I won't discourage praying (even though it won't do much anything) 'cause you might be into that sort of thing, but don't just rely on that. Talk to her. Get her to see all the good things still left in life. And if that doesn't work, make her feel guilty. If she commits suicide, that leaves her parents, friends (you for instance), and other people sad. So make her feel too bad to go through with it. Just a few ideas.

Like oboe_ham said, pray. And get other people to pray for her too. There is strength in numbers, especially when you're talking about prayer. Make sure that you keep up with her and hang out with her, and show her you love her, but don't tell her that it isn't important, because it is, and a friend did that to me and it almost drove me over the edge.

Pray. Prayer is more powerful than most people believe it to be.

"If any of you is suffering? Let him Pray."
-James 5:13

I send my condolences.

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
-Romans 8:28

As I said before get her help, alls you can do besides this is try to let her know you care and that you're there for her. Just let her know there are people that care about her and that it's not worth it, since now she knows what it's like to be a survivor, but yeah professional help would be the best thing.


Hope for the best and expect the worst............take whatever life throws at you...
