What To Say To A Troubled Friend . . .
"I'm here for you."


"I want to hear about what's bothering you."


"I really care about you."


"Let's talk and figure out how to make things better."


"Things are tough now but they will change - you've got to hang in there and I'm here to help."


"I would feel horrible if you hurt yourself and I don't want you to die."


"If I can't help you, I'll help you find someone who can help."


"No one and nothing is worth taking your life for."


What You Can Do To Help A Depressed Or Suicidal Friend.
Listen to your friend with concern.
Ask your friend if he ever felt this bad before. If so, how did he handle the situation?
Share a time when you felt pretty bad and assure your friend that things can and will change.
Be especially concerned if your friend takes drugs and/or alcohol because their judgement is impaired.
Ask if your friend has suicidal thoughts.
Let your friend know that many people think about suicide but never actually attempt it.
Give your friend a hotline number and make sure your friend calls.
Stay with a depressed person. Do something together.
If your friend is suicidal and refuses to get help, tell a responsible adult as soon as possible.
Make specific plans to see your friend the next day.

I'm an 18-year-old female and lately my hair has been falling out like crazy. It's mostly when I brush it but even with just running my hand threw it, some still comes out. When I run my hand threw it's maybe like, 6 strands or so. But, when brushing it's like a wad of hair.


My hair used to be really thick and now it's like half of what it used to be about 7 months ago. That's alot of hair to loose!! I'm really scared because it seems like I'm going bald of something. My friends say it's stress but quite honestly, I have nothing to be stressed about!


Does anyone have any ideas???

Hun... With lukemia... You hair falls out.. thats one way to TELL you have it.. i said its possible!
I never said you had that.

And i would know.. I had lukemia when i was 14...5 years ago....so i DO know what im talkin about.

(Rating: 1) When someone has cancer their hair falls out during their chemotherapy treatment not before they are diagnosed. Please don't ever tell anyone on this site that they have cancer when you have no idea what you're talking about. It really scares people and if I didn't know that about chemotherapy then I'd probably go into a panic. You're not a doctor so do not give out "diagnoses". Thanks.
