I'm sorry but this response is going to seem pretty bitchy. For one thing, I consider this a pretty serious subject to be asked annonymously on advicenators.
In addition, any time I hear that a young person wants to hurt themself, I get confused. I simply can NOT relate to anything being so bad, that suicide is a viable option. So I'm not a good person to ask for advice on this subject. It makes me want to lecture about the spiritual ramifications of such an action. I believe that suicide is an unforgivable sin. Therefore, it's especially hard for me to understand how these thoughts could exist during the time of the yr when we celebrate the birth of our saviour.
I DO think that if your girlfriend verbalizes that she wants to kill herself, she needs professional help. Even if you think she is just saying it for attention, she still needs to talk to a professional. This isn't a healthy way to seek attention.
I'd recommend you talk to an adult (preferably clergy) that knows both of you and let them guide you in what you should do about your friend. And don't put this off. If your friend is truly depressed and she DOES try to hurt herself, you will be riddled with guilt for not doing something to prevent it. Better to be careful than ignore a warning. Talk to an adult you trust...SOON.
I'm sorry if I sound harsher than usual but a suicide destroyed my mother's family and I've seen first hand the devestation it causes and too many people toss the subject around like it's tonight's menu. Let me know what you decide to do.
