depressed/suicidle/homosidal friend All my friends seem depressed expecially my one friend who talks about "Killing her parents with no remorse" on her xanga. Im really worried for her. Thing is, she says she would do it but I know she wouldnt. She talks more about suicide and how terrible her life is. Her life really isnt bad, her parents just have really strict limits which I know can drive a teen crazy. She doesnt seem to know that there millions of kids out there with way worse situations than her who make it through everyday. She keeps repeating it alot probably for attention (Maybe shes asking for help, I dont know) Im just really not sure what to do anymore...

well.. for the complaining about how horrible her life is, you can talk to her about how bad your life is.. even though it might not be. talk to her about your problems that dont seem as bad as hers. and how she is so lucky that she isnt going through what you are. and compliment her all the time. for the "killing her parents" thats scary, i have to admit but you can explain to her how much she would miss them wonce they are gone. of she ever had a pet that died and she missed it show much remind her of that but then tell her that killing her parents would be double the pain she would feel.

First of all, don't suppose she would never do anything. Sometimes people have more going on in their lives then what they tell you or anybody. She might be doing it for attention or she might really be struggling with it. Maybe have her talk with your school counselor or somebody who would understand. If her life isn't all that bad, then just ler her cool off for a couple of days. If she's still acting weird, talk to somebody about it. She might need a friend or some real help. Hope i helped!!!

Maybe you should take her to a homeless shelter and show her how they live and maybe she will be more appreciative of what she has. Tell her there are people who get abused by their parents and who`s parents don`t care about them at all. Just do things to make her realize how lucky she really is.

Your friend reminds me of myself once upon a time. Alot of it was just talking trash, but some of it was true. My friends tried to get me help and ended up ruining my life. It was just a phase I went through. Finding a religion you are comfortable with helps. It's just something you have to get through yourself. Things often get worse before they get better. Now I have so much to live for I would never consider that again. Hope this helps. ]
well depending on the age of you guys and her personality. i had many of friends explaining how bad thier lives were and parents were horible when in fact its the kids that dont say anything that have it worst. strick rules are things a kids talks about but having parents that beat you or mentally abuse you, you neer hear about if there doing it, so if a kid so saying it often, usally and most likly it aint that bad. i had a friend whos my sister now, shed move in wit me if she could get away from her parents, its a nitemare i know for a fact, but i didnt find this out till about ayear into everything... you dont cry wolf if therse a problem, worlds f*ed up like that. plus the age. theres a age where everyone in sa certain grade all of a sudden belives that thier parents are the worst. and it tends to be a spreading disese or sumthing for some time.. it stops eventually as you grow up ]
Maybe you should tell her parents what is going on, maybe they can talk to her about what is wrong ,and maybe things can change for her. Don't worry if she finds out and gets mad at you, in the long run, she will think about how you helped her out and forgive you. Hope i helped.
Thanks,

Hello. You are probably right, when you say your friend is doing it for attention. However, sometimes a desperate attempt at attention is also a cry for help. The best thing to do is to keep a close eye on your friend, but do not smother her with sympathy or orders for her to stop acting this way, because that could cause problems and it would be giving her attention for the wrong reasons. If you think things are really getting serious, then you should take action. As far as her and her parents' safety (with the killing threats) they will all most likely be safe because if someone else is reading her xanga and they find it very serious, they will make sure nothing happens. Happy friending!

I looked up a website for you to check out. It has a section for friends of teens who threaten suicide and some of the signs to watch out for. Hope you find it helpful. :)
