One of my best guy friends (we'll call him Sam) told me on Friday that he was sick of his life and that he was going to kill himself. I've been paranoid all weekend and i dont know what to do. he's the type of guy that mot definately would kill himelf.
You have not given your ages so I am going to error on the side of caution with my advise.
If your are truly his friend and he still lives at home then I advise you to tell his parents what he told you. Better he be alive and hate you, the he kill himself and you have kept his confidence.
If you are adults and do not live with parents them you should advise the proper authorities of what you suspect. They will check on him and if it is felt it is possible for him to harm himself they will take the appropriate action to keep him safe. Of course if you do know how to contact his parents you should do that as well. As an adult though only the proper authorities, such as the police, have the ability to save him from himself.

What are his reasons for such drastic life ending actions? Life in general is not meant to be easy. However, I do know grand plans have made things much harder than they needed to be.
It is hard to give advice about a suicidal friend. You are not the one in distress. You are not the one feeling empty. You are not the one who believes there is no reason for his life.
However, you feel for him, otherwise you would not be a friend.
I always find that having a sense of purpose is the best medicine, along with some Cannabis, for a change of mind. Help him find something he can do to help others, the planet, and himself. Clear thinking is important. He should eat for his blood type, and avoid chemicals.
If it is just life in general that has him down, he is not alone. Millions of people around the world are unhappy for apparently no reason.
There is a reason. It is like a background noise that we cannot hear, through conditioning, but it is there, annoying us none the less.
Some of us have learned how to turn off that background noise, but at a price.
Anyone interested in learning how to turn off that background aggravation can go to GDNLive.com and inform yourselves.
Life is worse than he thinks, but it is not worth taking our own lives. He is here for a bigger purpose and until his spirit is united with that purpose, he will feel sad, empty, alone, in despair, and tortured by life.
He has a bigger purpose. You are here for a bigger purpose as well. You are his support. He will be yours. Inform yourselves. Be prepared.
Turn off the background noise, and have peace of mind. Listen GCNLive at am central U S time.
