okay so sorry in advance if this is just kind of long. and thanks for taking the time to read it. :). okay so i have a best friend lets call him jack. So i have known jack for a veryy long time and im really good friends with him.And i guess he got into a fight with one of his good friends cause i guess his friend is like always ditching him to hang out with his gf. and jack dosnt like his friends gf in the first place. So i guess jack was really upset and all and i was talking to him and he said that he didnt see any point in living anymore. and he said he hoped he died before his birthday. I talked to him about it and everything and now he says he's okay but im still kind of worried.. any tips on what i should do and if i should still be worried... Thanks so much, I appreciate it greatly.

My friend showed signs that she was a little off, and she went missing a little while later because she had a breakdown. My friends and I were kicking ourselves for not having talked to someone to stop it.
As for doing something yourself, just be as good a friend as you can possibly be. Just show him how much you care, and how important he is to you. Just one person can make all the world to someone. And stay vigilant.
