Hi my name is Angel, that's my real name. I'm a young adult now, I've had this advice column for years, but I made another one under the name anq3l_xo when I thought I couldn't access this one. A little bit about myself. I am a student, both in college and high school. I work as a nanny part time. I want to be a lawyer when I "grow up." I believe I've done a lot of growing up in my short life. I have conquered an obsession over drugs and alcohol in the last year and a half. I'm sober now and I wouldn't trade that for the world. I'm happy now. I'm in an absolutely blessed relationship with someone that I truly care about and love with all of my heart. I have been through things that you kids have nightmares about. I have seen, heard, and witnessed a lot of things that would make full grown men cry. I believe that I am innocent now, because I don't live that old lifestyle anymore. I have a lot of experience in a lot of things, and I've always been good at shedding light on dark situations. I come from a broken family, so I have step, half whatever siblings, and I just recently reunited with my real mother after she abandoned me 10 years ago. I have amazing friends today, but it wasn't always like that. I have a wonderful boyfriend and a great relationship with him, but let me tell you, it wasn't always like that. My sister is a drug addict/ alcoholic of the worst type. She's my best friend in the entire world, and I hope this 14 year old girl doesn't have to go through what I went through. I've come to understand that I can't help her, but I can help others through advice and by being of service to people around me. I'm always here to help, leave one in my inbox on this column or my other one, or my email which is listed, and I WILL get back to you. I know what it's like to feel like nobody cares, well I care about everybody. God bless. ~Love Angeladvice
O.K. This is sad and I have no idea what to do. My best friend, Haley, wants to kill herself. She's never met her dad and her 200 pound 7 year old brother gets all the attention and her mom's a total slut. She gets books about death and she's writing letters to the devil and God. I don't know what to do about her. She's threatened me that she will kill herself and it scares me that she will. I don't know what to say or think about this. We met last year but got really close. She's two years older than me and I could really use advice on what to tell her. I need help, or my friend does. Please don't be sarcastic about this because I'm scared and you will only make it worse by replying rusely. Anyone who answers nicely, I'll love you forever.

It's really hard to deal with this type of situation. It looks like your friend is crying for attention, and she feels that the only way she can get attention is if she's dead, which is not true. Luckily she has this best friend [you] that cares enough about her to do something about it. I think you need to tell someone like a school counselor, or maybe your parents, anyone that can help her. It sounds like an awful thing to do, but Hayley will thank you for it. You can do your best to help her by telling her stuff like, "killing yourself isn't worth it, that's like giving up the game of life, I know you're going through a hard situation, but if you don't give up on it, it will ultimately, make you stronger." Maybe not those exact words, but that's something that may change some of the ways she thinks, tell her that if she killed herself, you and all of her other friends would never be the same again, you'd be miserable. Tell her that it wouldn't make her family situation any better, they would be miserable as well. If you can't get through to your friend, get a higher authority, you have to, because if you don't, it could cost Hayley her life. Hope I helped, Best of luck, I'm always here if you need anything. Please keep me posted, and keep your head up. Good Luck! -Angel
