My friend Marina cuts,smokes, and is threatning to kill herself. I've told her plaenty of times suicide is not the way, but she is not listening. Should I ignore her protests and contact someone? But who?
xlipgloss answered Saturday July 3 2004, 6:40 pm: you can do research on self mutilation/sucide..and whatever else it is she's doing. There are many orginaczations out there that are willing to help, if talking to your friend isnt working..try to find her help.she obviously has a serious problem and you have to start somewhere.

Tell your school counselor, because they keep things and they won't give away your name, but now that it is summer, the best way would to be tell an adult you are closets to. ASk your friend Marina why she wants to end her life? She still has a good life infront of her and she can party it all out! [ bAbYCHeeR792's advice column | Ask bAbYCHeeR792 A Question ]

SmartAss18 answered Wednesday June 30 2004, 1:38 am: i think its a bad idea to ignore her protest and contact some one else cuz parents aint gonna help cuz its ovious if she isnt listenin to u she wont listen to her parents...u should tell her that soon life will get better and keep tellin her how important she is to everyone and that she matters.

Siren_Cytherea answered Wednesday June 30 2004, 12:46 am: This is serious if she's threatening suicide. You've gotta tell someone. You could start with your parents, and ask your mom or whoever you feel closer with what to do. Mothers are good advice givers. I go to mine for most of my problems. Give it a shot. She'll be able to help. (Or your dad)

AquamarineRose answered Tuesday June 29 2004, 9:54 pm: Definately.Don't listen to her.She sounds like she's in a state of depression.She doesn't know what she's talking about.But yes tell someone right away.You could risk your friendship.But it's better than finding your friend dead knowing you could of done something and helped.Who to contact though.....ummmm.....I'm not sure who to call on it.Look around on the internet or maybe the phonebook.Hope I helped on at least the first part of your question.

exyweetee99 answered Tuesday June 29 2004, 8:35 pm: no u totally dont need 2 ignore her. u need 2 contact someone in her family that u & her both trust.i have 2 of my very close friends comit suicide and several to say they were gonna do it.and the 2 that did it i would have never expected it.so in other wrds ppl who talk bout it usually dont follow thru.the silent ones r who u need 2 watch out 4.
XxSmileyChickxX answered Tuesday June 29 2004, 7:57 pm: Well I wouldnt ignore her because this is a serious problem. I think you should tell someone you can trust in also helping, or you should tell her parents, or tell your parents to call her parents so they can get her help. I hope my advice works.
