I actually had a friend kill themselves. We were like sisters but you know what...there is nothiing you can do to help someone when they really are that depressed. It doesn't matter how many good things you say to them they will still find a way to hurt themselves. This however, sounds like this "friend" is just trying to get your attention. My best friend dated a girl like this who threatened to kill herself if he broke up with her. BULL! Listen to me honey, first if he was really your "friend" he wouldn't put you in this position and threaten you this way. You need to do what's right for you and clearly this person is not a positive influence on your life. He is not bringing you any happiness, only dragging you down. Let him go. You don't have to be mean but make sure he knows you are serious about not wanting to be friends anymore. But honestly this will never change if you continue to let him control your emotions. Chances are his threats of suicide are just that, empty threats and the sooner you move on the better. Even if he is serious about suicide it will just hurt you because there is nothing you can do to stop it. But I don't think he is serious and what you need is some positive, strong friends that will support you and not mess with your emotions. Leave him behind and don't feel guilty. His behavior is his responsibility and not yours. You owe it to yourself to not have someone like that in your life.
