i have a friend. she has had a hard time lately and she has made bad decisions. she told me everything she has done. now she says that she feels like im judging her becouse of what she said. so she doesnt want to tell me stuff and i think she is a suicide risk and if i tell someone now i will never know if it comes up again becouse im the only person she has told but if she wont talk to me becouse she thinks im judging her i wont know anyways. but she did tell me she was goin to do it the other day so i talked her out of it. but i dont know if im sopposed to tell someone now or try to talk her out of it everytime. i rate for GOOD answers

I know it sounds bad, but you need to risk your friendship to save her life. People are going think your judging them on something that you think. But get her help, and let me know how it goes!

If she does kill herself you will have to live with that the rest of your life...not something you want to do. Tell her mom and make sure she takes you seriously. Tell her everything! Yes, your friend will be really pissed but, she will be alive to thank you for it later. Pass this problem on to an adult, you are to young for that kind of responsibility.
