The person who answered he isn't suicidal but just an attention whore is a retard who doesn't know what he is talking about.

Yes your friend is looking for attention, yes he is also suicidal. The smartest thing to do, that is if you're his friend, would be to tell a responsible adult. I'd recommend avoiding school counselors because they're crappy counselors to begin with and they don't really know what they're doing. I'd recommend telling his parents first. If they don't believe you or have a hard time accepting it or don't get him help, call child services.

First of all if your friend has tried "multiple times" he isnt suicidal he is looking for attention. Report him to a school social worker you can do it without him ever knowing. If you arent in school still, tell a family member you are "worried".

You need to tell his parents. Or tell a counselor. They can get him help immeadiately. If you don't tell anyone, who knows what will happen. Get your friend help ASAP.

If he doesn't wanna talk to a counselor, then take him against his will. He'll hate you, but he'll thank you in the end. You'll be saving his life.

If you or him want more help, feel free to IM or email me. All of my information is on my column. Good luck.

Well there is a suicide hotline that you can call for more inforation about what to do or who to confron. It is 1-800-Suicide, i believe. You are right to try to report him to others. Try telling an adult that you trust and I hope everything works out for you, him, and anyone else the situation may affect.

Definitely alert his parents first. If they don't take any steps, alert a school administrator. It's great that you want to get help for him =)

Good luck
