so, my friend is going through a really hard time, she tried to commit suicide, and she's getting really depressed. her mom doesn't pay any attention to her.. she used to be the peppy sunshiny person, now she just puts on a mask... I know what it's like I used to be the same way.... I keep telling her to talk to people, then I suggested for her to change up her normal life and listen to some songs she never would consider (my kind of music) and i'm just wondering... what else can i do for her?

What women want more than anything else is understanding. It's fine to give her advice, but I think if she gets a chance to air her feelings out she'll feel a lot better. Suicide is usually really a cry for attention. So ask her a lot of questions, especially about what caused her to want to kill herself, repeat back to her in your own words what she is saying ("what I am hearing from you is...."). Giving her a lot of hugs would also help since she isn't getting that from her mom.
