Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
I'm sorry hear that about your friend. You should talk to someone that you have confidense in and that you feel that will try to help and get involved with the situation. You should talk to his parents, any of his family members, someone who works at your school like a teacher or councelor, or your parents. Talk to an adult.
Don't tell or alert or other kids about it. They may not be the kindest or the seriousness of the situation.
Tell your friend that eventually one day, he will get through his rough times. Tell them that they are not alone and believe it or not there are tons of other people in the world that may feel just like he has. Life isn't easy for anyone so tell them never to ask why things happen to them, just tell them to fight through it but to let it bring them down like that. Tell them that the ones that stick it out and go through it, make it and one day things will be better.
Suicide is a sin, and that is the only thing that God does not forgive. Taking your own life away is not nor ever will be the answer.
If you are a true friend to this person you will try and be there for him or her as much as you can and to give them words of wisdom. Encourage them to stay positive, but never bring them down.

You need to talk to an adult. Either a counselor, your parents or his parents. He needs to get treated and get some help. They'll probably have him go to counseling or therapy to help him get out of that mindset and find ways to deal with his life problems.
A lot of kids won't tell an adult when their friend is cutting themselves or thinking about suicide because they are afraid their friend will get mad. But I know people who regret not saying anything because they're friend ended up committing suicide.
So it's better to have a mad friend than one that is no longer with you. Just be there for him, be supportive and talk to someone.
