What to do when your friend is suicidal?

-1

My best friend has been talking about killing himself and I’m worried about him. He doesn’t want me to tell anyone but now he’s not answering me and I’m afraid something happened. The only reason I haven’t told anyone yet is because he moved so I don’t know where he lives and I no longer have any way to contact him except through facebook (which he won’t answer). Should I tell someone? Who should I tell? Is there anything I can do? I don’t think I could live with myself if I let anything happen to him…

Imagine if you make that phone call to the police department and it changes his life. He could be in his 30's, kids, wife/husband, house, etc; all because of you. You made that choice to pick up the phone and save his life. Yes, he may be very upset later for days, weeks, even months but it would be so much worth his happiness in the next coming happy years for him. Please make the right choice. I hope the best for you and your friend.

Suicide is always a hard thing to deal with. If you have any idea at all where he lives, you can call their police department and ask them to check on him. He might get upset with you for now, but he'll forgive you. If you know his parents, you can also talk to them. I hope he's alright and he gets through whatever it is he's dealing with. Have a lovely day and an even better life!

Tell someone. Yes, he may be furious at you, might never even forgive you ( though that seems rather unlikely) but at the very least he'll be alive to feel anything what so ever.
