i dont know what to do.
my friend and i recently became closer friends. and he told me that he used to burn himself and cut himself and that he attempted to commit suicide three times. he told me that things were better now, but im still worried. he hasnt burned himself in six months. and i told him i'd always be here to listen. if he confides in me that he is suicidal in the future, should i tell someone. he told me no one can know, but i'm scared for him. i know he's fine now, but what about if he gets depressed in the future? what should i do? please help me.

It'd be best to keep it between you and him for now, seeing as though he's okay at the moment. But, if you honestly really think it's very serious that he might think about committing suicide again, then it'd be a good idea to let someone know. And if he gets angry, he'll thank you in the future because there's at least someone who's worried about him. Don't be scared, you're doing a wise thing and it shows that you care what happens to him...and it's good to know that you'll always be there to listen to him.
But for now, just be there for him. Give him your friendship and trust because that's all that everyone needs.
Hoped this helped you a little! =3

I used to cut, burn, tear out hair, all sorts of things. I even tried to kill myself. A lot of my friends did too, and once succeeded.
Don't be worried now, there's no point. All that will result from that will be you taking every sad moment as a step closer to another suicide attempt. When he actually seems like it, when he starts giving things away and such that is when to worry. At that point you should tell someone... like a school counselor or his mother.
He might be mad, but look at it this way: at least he'll be alive to BE mad.
If I had told someone about Beckie, she'd still be here, and Scott thanked me a couple years later even though he was pissed at the time. Think long-run.

well dont tell anyone unless you feel you definetly definetly need to, or you'll lose his trust completely, try talking to him about it, if he feels suicidal tell him to talk to you, and tell him not to worry, because he'll really apprecitate that your trying to help.
