Suicide.
My ex-boyfriend is convinced he has to kill himself because I broke up with him. He lives in an 18 story apartment building with EASY roof access. He wants to do it as soon as possible. I don't have either of his parent's numbers, but I sent his mom a message on facebook. I don't think she'll get it in time though. Help me, please. I have no clue what to do!!

While he could just be saying this to make you feel like shit for dumping him, he also could be very serious. I suggest you call 911. They will help him since you cannot.

This is more likely your ex boyfriend, trying to make you feel like crap. Since you broke up with him. Hun it is not your fault.
Contact the police tell them your situation and ask them to send someone to his house to talk with him and his parents..
my sons father told me he was going to shoot him self. i called the police and had them send someone out there, they took his fathers gun away from him. he was angry with me for calling said he was only saying that. but i had no idea. you know.. so call the police.

I find that I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.
This may be your ex boyfriends way of keeping your attention. Since you cannot be sure of this and you cannot reach his parents the only responsible thing to do is call 911. Explain to the call taker what your ex boyfriend has said and why you feel he is serious.
The most likely response will be to send the Police and Fire and EMS Service. If your ex boyfriend is under 18 years of age and a parent is not at home the police can force him to go to the hospital with the EMS personnel for evaluation. If his parent(s) is home then the parent(s) will have to agree he needs to go to the hospital.
It is possible this is nothing more than an attempt by your boyfriend to keep you from leaving him. If it is; this is the wrong response to the situation and he is in need of help in how to respond properly in different social situations. Unfortunately, as he will find out, his threat by fact that you cannot locate his parent(s) has to be taken seriously. So call 911 and let them handle the situation from here.
I would suggest once the Police and Fire Department sort this out that you stay away from this young man now and in the future. No matter how this turns out; meaning he was never intending to hurt himself or he did intend to hurt himself. The fact is he is a danger to himself and others and you will be much safer away from him.

Hi there,
Having just had a friend go through this, there is only one right answer:
Pick up the phone and dial 911. Tell them the situation and that you think it is serious.
They will send someone out to talk with him and see if he needs to go with them to talk with a doctor or what.
You don't have much of a choice in this. Every threat of suicide needs to be taken seriously because the one time you don't take it seriously will be the time someone kills themselves... and it was in your hand to stop the attempt.
Please dial 911 and do not be afraid. That is what the police are there for. They would much rather talk to someone having a bad day than deal with the stuff they usually have to, so don't worry about getting him in trouble, because you won't and don't worry about you getting in trouble because you won't.
Please hurry.
DN.
P.S. when things settle down please leave feedback and let me know how things worked out.
