this guy that i was friends with for a long time was having a bad day and when we were in art class i asked him what was wrong. and he was like back the *uck off and leave me alone. i was like jesus okay i was just asking i didn't mean to get you upset. that day we were making these clay things and there is this tool that has a very sharp edge on it and he held it up to my throat and he said if you don't get away from me i'll stab you with this. the look in his eyes was absolutly terrifying. that night on AIM i had asked him what was wrong and he was acting really funny. his typing had changed. he was making alot of errors and not correcting himself like he normally would. he threatened to blow up my school and then he threatened to kill me and himself. i got scared and i told my dad about it and the next day my dad called the school and my principal, my guidance counselor, and the schools D.A.R.E. officer sat down with the two of us and we were talking and he kept saying that he was joking about everything that he had said to me that night. We aren't friends anymore and i do not want to start a new school year knowing that he hates me. what should i do? should i try talking to him? or should i leave him alone? he was my best friend for a while and i miss having him as my friend
SouthernBarbieGirl answered Monday August 9 2004, 8:16 pm: Do you know if your friend drink or does drugs? Sometimes that's a big part of violence. I don't think you should bother having him as a friend anymore, find better ones! But pleaze dont mess w/ him, it only turns out bad.

SweetStarx89 answered Monday August 9 2004, 7:59 pm: Hi. Ohh i hope ur okay..anyways i would let him cool off a bit and then slowly ask him about it...like remember when you said all that...where you really joking because i took it really seriously...and it really scared me. i mean we are best friends and now we are so far apart. what happened? so you not like me as a friend no more? and see what he says...maybe has something to say about it and if threaten you again i would maybe talk to his parents or mom and ask then how he's been lately. but yes try to talk to him and knowing that you are safe while you are with him. Take Care..I hoped I helped! x3 SweetStar [ SweetStarx89's advice column | Ask SweetStarx89 A Question ]
SoNuLiCiOuSsS answered Monday August 9 2004, 7:54 pm: i think its best that u leave him alone for now... sum guys dont like people to know that they are emotional so that may be why he got so upset when u asked him what was wrong... just give him sum time... when hes ready to talk & when he realizes that u are a good friend he will come to you... but make sure u arent ever alone wit him... cuz if a person can lose it once... they can lose it again [ SoNuLiCiOuSsS's advice column | Ask SoNuLiCiOuSsS A Question ]

Hotblonde123 answered Monday August 9 2004, 5:13 pm: I would have been so fuckin scared. I dont think that you should try to talk to him or anything untill u see that he has changed and gotten over that. Let him come and talk to you. [ Hotblonde123's advice column | Ask Hotblonde123 A Question ]

alisonmarie answered Monday August 9 2004, 5:03 pm: Truthfully, it sounds as though he has some mental health issues. Any choices you make are doubly important, as he could over-react or become violent.
Perhaps just see how things go. Maybe he's had some help over the summer; maybe he'll approach you.
I would warn you to think long and hard before approaching him - he sounds dangerous. You did the right thing by telling your dad about his problems; not only were you protecting yourself, but you were making sure he got help.
