Friday was my last day at school. And every thing was going ok till. A friend came up and just started to have a emotional brake down. and she has had this before but not at school. See last time she had one of these was last year when she was at home and she staped herself with a knife. And it was all about a guy cause this guy thaough she was mad at him but she isn't. So she came to me to talk.i am use to there kind of thing cause a lot of my friends get them. But a lot of times i am not around them. So then was like i am happy that this didn't happened at home cause she would of killed herself. and she lives in Rapid City and i live in Sturgis. And i can't always be there for here when she needs someone to be there. And i can't cause i don't live in the same town as her. And i am oging to the High School so really doesn't have much ppl to talk to I am afaid that when she is at home or at school and no one is around her she will kill herself. if anyone here knows what i can do. Write back. Michy

Hope i helped any. [ lildiamyn_69's advice column | Ask lildiamyn_69 A Question ]

Hang out with your friend alot, she needs someone to be there for her. Call her on the phone, IM and e-mail her, that's what it sounds like she needs. I know that it's gonna be harder because ya'll don't live in the same city, but you can still use the internet if you're worried about long distance. (I have no clue where those two cities are or how far apart they are, so I'm just assuming that there would be long distance charges) Is she ignored and put down at school? Or does she have alot of friends? It sounds like your friend is depressed about something. Just talk to her, ask her what's on her mind, if there's something she wants to talk about etc. Let her know that you care about her. Send her a letter in the mail telling her that you value her friendship and want to help her and support her. Something as small as that can mean the world to someone. You can suggest a guidence counselor, or even a parent. If you think that she needs to talk to someone older and wiser, encourage a parent or a counselor. The pros of a counselor are: total secrecy
trained pro
the cons are: it's not free
The pros for talking to a parent are: free
can help you on a more personal basis
the cons are: it's a little weird talking to your mom about it, or a friends mom (or dad)
Be the best friend you can be, if she starts talking about commiting suicide, tell someone!! (a parent, not your dog) If you're the best friend that you can be, she'll probably tell you what's bothering her. If she does that, she'll probably feel better about herself. If she feels better about herself, then it's all cool! Hope it all goes well.
