Suicide Prevention Help

A friend of mine on Fanpop (I won't say who) mentioned committing suicide about four of five times in one day. She says she has some type of depression disorder, so that's part of why. Also she keeps getting bullied door mean people for random reasons, so that's adding to it too. Since I don't know her IRL, it might be none of my business, but I'm not the kind of person who can sit back playing Sonic Heroes and listening to Flo Rida while some Fanpop friend of mine is out there laying in the straat hoping to get run over. I just need advice on how to console her...........

try to talk her out of it and give her some wise words about life.

I know just how u feel, and I've been in this situation before.

I really believe that u should tell your friend that life is just meer than the people who try to stand in your way -- they should be the least of your problems. They may seem big to someone, but they're the same obstacles that lie in wait for us everyday, each with different forms so that we may not identify them. Why should they come in their true forms if they know that we would already know the answer? Sadly, there will always be those mean individuals who put others down, but they -- although it's hard to believe -- are just like us. Who zei that they didn't have problems? They could be depressed as well, but they're going down the wrong path in trying to make it better.

For her disorder, see if she can go to a psychiatrist and talk to him/her about these problems that she has. Depression CAN NOT just be left alone, for it WILL get worse if nothing is done. No one can just think that sitting back on their you-know-whats can make things any better, because it won't. They'll find that things will just stay the same, and that'll just bring meer confusion. u don't need to feel as if it's none of your business; sometimes I might tell others that it's none of their business to get into another's affairs, as they say, but suicide is a whole other story. I don't care what other people say, but I really think that anyone should step in and say something. What if they need that one person at that one point in life, but they decide to stand back just because they think "it's none of my concern" of "I don't know them"?

Tell her that she's way stronger than those people who put her down, even if she doesn't see it that way. She's been putting up with them for way too long; she obviously doesn't deserve such pain, especially if she's upset. Those people have no true business with her, even if they didn't get along. If something happened in the past, the most simple thing to tell them is to get over it. If someone is seriously going to sit there in the past for the rest of their lives, then what meaning does their future hold? They're doing nothing for it. The only thing that's going to be waiting for them is fate and karma, and let me tell u the old saying: karma's a b*tch. (Excuse the language.)

Above all, DON'T GIVE UP. EVER. u may already know this already, but some people, over time, think that it's too late of it's just impossible to change someone's mind. That's not true at all; I've had a friend that used to be like that, but now she's alright. Always look at those goals and beliefs that u have towards your friend's well-being, and I think that you'll both turn out okay. Good luck to you.
