weii i have a friend who saids that her life is horrible and such and she wants to suicide im trying to stop her but she seems not to hear me i really like her as a friend and i don`t want to lose her please give me advise as of what to to do
A person in a depressed state will always say that the world is against her, including her family. Tell them anyways, I'm sure once they realize just how severe it is they'll offer the consolation she needs.
Also try giving her something to look forward to, anything.
Keep talking to her. Don't let her stop talking and keep telling her that you don't want her to do it, and that if she does, it'll hurt you. Tell her that it's not worth committing suicide and whatever is wrong to have her think she must, tell her she can come to you and talk to you about anything that could be bothering her. Just keep convincing her to no do it.
shes probably in a depressive mood and saying stuff she doesnt mean in a cry for attention (i had friend who used to do the same thing) but i wouldn't exactly call her bluff on the issue and try and talk to her because the consequences if your wrong could be huge.
If you really think shes in danger of killing herslef you can tell somebody and have her brought into a psych ward (5150) where she will be held for up to 48 hours. Here it will be determined wheather or not she actually is a danger to herself or others. If she is, she'll be held for an additional amount of time and be placed on suicide watch. Doubt shes really serious about it though. Does she have a plan? If so then you should be worried; if not i doubt anything will come of it. Probably just a cry for help.
