My friends is 13 and she is like suicidal.. she used to be so quiet in school and get straight A's, but now she's failing. Her grades dropped, and she started to cut herself. Her info on AOL is like "I Just Wanna Die", Her icon Is a Picture of a bloody knife.. It's really starting to scare me.. But everytime i ask her about it she says "No, why does everyone keep asking me that!"
When we all know that it's true.. what can i do to help her.. it's not like she'd want to talk to anybody about it :/

My frshman year in highschool I was best friends with this guy that had it rough, imean really rough. It was horrible. He ended up in the hospital many times over the school year for overdosing, etc. It scared me. I told him I needed to talk to him whether or not he wanted to listen. So I poured my heart out to him on how me and his other friends would feel if he committed suicide, how much I cared for him, etc. The next day I found a pic of me and him and brought it to school, showed him and said "this would be the last one of these that we would have if you committed suicide". Also, I went with him to go get help and over the course of the year he got better. We becamse closer after that!
Anyways, my cousin asked me to help her friends out and of course I did. All you need to do is sit down with your friend and tell her she is only 13 and there is so much more life to live. Tell her you care deeply about her and tell her how much it would hurt if she was gone. And if she doesnt listen, there is nothing you can do about it. Tell her those icons and her profile bother you. If you think that this is too much to handle and may be more severe, you might need to tell someone, like a teacher or guidance counselor, if you go to the same school. Make sure you help her out as much as you can. Hope I helped out! ~4evaurs~ [ 4evaurs_21's advice column | Ask 4evaurs_21 A Question ]

IF she won't go to the consellor yourself. She will be able to deal with this kind of problem. It is bad and your friend must be going through a lot of stuff and feeling like shit all of the time. She needs some help and something to make her feel better and want to live life and stuff like that. The consellor will be able to help her with that and its all confidential.
