A friend of mine came to me for help.. and I honestly don't know how to respond.. so maybe someone on her can help?
Well Marc, my friend, is going out with this girl Elena.. they're relationship is great and everything, but he is still obsessesed with his x-girlfriend, Joee..well he's trying to break up with Elena, but she's suicidal and all..so the first time he mentioned it being just friends to her, she overreacted and threatened to kill herself..Marc NEEDS to break up with her, but doesn't want her to kill or hurt herself...
(Elena has attempted suicide once before, so she's not afraid to)

Courtney answered Thursday July 7 2005, 8:34 pm: He needs to discuss this with her parents/and or guardians to tell them what she has been threatening to do and request that she receive some sort of help. If that fails, he needs to report to a free clinic where they have doctors or councilors who will inform him how to contact doctors who will help this girl. They will also answer any questions that he has to ask. And he could just report her to the police and they would not get her in any trouble at all. If all else fails, he really needs to do this because they will make absolutely sure that she needs and will get help. The law doesn't play when it comes to suicidal attempts but they do provide the best of help that this girl needs. When and if all else fails, he should resort to this. It might just be the difference between her life or a death of her own infliction upon herself. [ Courtney's advice column | Ask Courtney A Question ]
Sammerz619 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 7:11 pm: One word: Councelling. This girl needs serious help and fast. Marc is just trying to do the right thing for himself, but doesnt want to hurt Elena, and i respect that. I think someone needs to tell this girls mom or school guidance couselor. One of her strong adult peers can help her out for this one. Its the safest for everyone if you bring it up to an adult and soon! Well i hope i helped. Let me know how things turn out, okay.

karenR answered Thursday July 7 2005, 6:57 pm: I think he should call her parents. Tell them he wants to break it off and what she is threatening to do. If he feels weird about doing that then maybe you could do it for him. He doesn't need to be made to feel he has no out here. Elena needs some psychiatric attention. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
xbrunettex answered Thursday July 7 2005, 6:43 pm: well this is really serious.. i think that your friend should be asking an adult and maybe Marc should tell Elena's parents or a guidance consuler to be with him when he tells Elena just so they can control her emotions. Or tell her parents so they can keep a close eye on her just in case. Well no one can really tell what will happen but, i hope i helped!
khicachic07 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 6:19 pm: i would tell her parents immeditly they need to know if she's suicidal she needs help. if she says she'll kill herself she's not the right gurl for marc he doesnt need this kind of pressure she'll have to deal with marc breaking up with her she doesnt need to kill herself she needs serious help
icey0990 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 5:55 pm: this is definately a tricky situation... i would take this to elenas parents and explain the situation to them so they can intervene and get her help because thats what she needs..
nobody wants to see her get hurt but also nobody wants marc to be forced to stay with her..
so talk to her parents and maybe they can take her to a rehab place or go for conseling..then marc can get away from her..
thats what i would do in a situation like that because i wouldnt want marc to break up with her then have her kill herself : /
