Question Posted Thursday December 23 2004, 9:42 pm
Okay this may sound really dumb or something but it really needs to be answerd cause i really need the help.My friend had wanted to kill herself and then her mom had put her into a center to get the help that she needs(good for her!!).But the problem is that she is on drugs and she drinks a lot and she is only 12 or 13 years old.Well i tries to kill myself a few weeks ago and now i'm fine but my question is that should i be her friend still and hang out with her even though that she wanted to do something that i tried?Cause my fear is that she will want me to think of doing that again?Plzz help.
Thanks again

first off, no one hould tr to kil themself. No matter how hard ur life gets, it will eventually get better, and nothing is worth killing youself. Its good that your friends is getting help, but there is one thing that would help alot. a friend. She needs you the most now. Tell her that its all gonna turn out ok and that u really want to stay friends, so dont try to do that ever again. no problem is worth that. i hope that i helped!

If she pressures you into doing something you don't want to get help from any adult you can. Your friend needs someone to be there for her. I hope I helped!

pinayprincess74 answered Friday December 24 2004, 10:28 am: I dont know if you should really be friends with her anymore if shes out there getting drunk like an old @ss. But even though you're not her friend ((or at least you shouldnt be)) I think you should get help for her. I mean, nobody needs to be drinking at that young of an age. So, try to get some help for her, and maybe it will make her future just a little bit brighter.

Shortie8959 answered Friday December 24 2004, 10:17 am: Yes, be her friend, but if she asks you if you want that stuff, say no, and then drop it. Maybe try getting her off those things if you can. Don't try killing yourself again. Good luck!
Hope I helped!
Happy Holidays!

xpiinkh3artzx answered Friday December 24 2004, 12:58 am: DON'T GIVE UP ON HER. Your everything she needs right now, a friend that knows what she's going through, and a friend period. I would not stop being her friend..you really need to help her get through this and help yourself. Check into counseling, church, anything but suicide. Your in my prayers, both of you.

Pwarx answered Friday December 24 2004, 12:34 am: She wants you to kill yourself?
That's just SICK.
The right thing for you to do might be ditch her, but it might not. In some cases, people like her are very temperamental, and feel very depressed and alone. If you ditch her, she might get extreme cases of these symptoms to the point where it drives her crazy. She might kill herself again, which would be bad, or she might even try to hurt (kill) you for leaving her.
icey0990 answered Thursday December 23 2004, 11:45 pm: You both went through the same thing, so maybe you can help each other. But the minute she starts to try and bring you down..let her go. Its not worth it. But hopefully it wont get to that.
best of luck

Makoto answered Thursday December 23 2004, 11:02 pm: You need to continue to be friends with her. My suggestion is that because the two of you have this problem, work with each other TOGETHER to resolved this dilemma
Courtney answered Thursday December 23 2004, 10:38 pm: You're going to have to work on that issue which you are having with yourself about wanting to commit suicide if you want to be fully strong . Yes, be there for her and support her because everyone needs someone to be there for them . You have to be strong for you first and you have to work on that issue about wanting to kill yourself . So do what you have to do, or what you want to do for your friend . She needs someone there for her and you can be that someone for her . Don't give up on her .Help her . She will need you .

AsKmE135 answered Thursday December 23 2004, 10:34 pm: You should still be her friend. Right now, she NEEDS a good friend, someone she can talk to. And since you were going through a similar problem, she can probably feel comfortable talking to you. As for being a bad influence on you, hopefully after she gets out of this center, she won't be suicidal anymore. And even if she is, I REALLY don't think she would try to make YOU commit suicide. Why would she want that?? Good luck, I hope everything works out for the best. [ AsKmE135's advice column | Ask AsKmE135 A Question ]
jman2 answered Thursday December 23 2004, 10:13 pm: no you DONt need to be friends with her because she will drag you down if she trys it again to!! try and find a new friend who is a christian and that can make you feel good about your self and maybe talk to someone about when you tryed to commit suicide PRAY PRAY PRAY [ jman2's advice column | Ask jman2 A Question ]
tish answered Thursday December 23 2004, 10:11 pm: think about this why did you want to kill your self in the first place i think that you should go and talk to your friend and try and get her to stop what she is doing thats what friends are for.-tish [ tish's advice column | Ask tish A Question ]
tcklmepink13 answered Thursday December 23 2004, 10:11 pm: i dont think you should hang out with ppl that do drugs if you dont want to do drugs. and no, hangin out with ppl that wanna kill themselves i dont think is a good decision at all because kids at that age pressure their peers to do things like drugs and try and kill themselves so therefore if you dont want her to try and get you to do that then i would advise you not to hang out with her. but then again if you really wanna help her because shes your friend then maybe you should think of a way to try and help her...like tell her mom or maybe a skool conselor. i hope i helped! good luck! ~britt~ [ tcklmepink13's advice column | Ask tcklmepink13 A Question ]
babeoriental answered Thursday December 23 2004, 9:51 pm: was she the reason why you wanted to kil yourself? think about that. you prolly know her better than anyone else and she may need someone. she prolly is tryign to stop but can't nad needs a friend to help her out. but if she was the cause for your attempt of killing yourself then i say stay away from her for a while.
