Your boyfriend needs to get help immediately. Do him the biggest favor you can, and tell this to a responsible adult. Feeling suicidal is not normal, and he probably has a serious chemical imbalance in his brain. This is no way to go about a relationship, and if your boyfriend gets the help he so desperately needs, he'll be a new person. He'll be very angry at you, but ultimately, you'll save his life, and one day, when he'll be happy again, he'll realize that, and be eternally grateful to you. Do the right thing! Good luck :)

His threat to commit suicide to keep you in a relationship you do not want to be in is a form of control over you(more about this later).
If you are both over 18 call the police as suicide or threatening to commit suicide is illegal making this a police matter. They will see to it that he is seen by a doctor and treated if they feel he is serious about his threat. If you are under 18 then inform either your parents or his parents and let them handle the situation. You can if you do not wish to tell your parents call the police in any case regardless of your age.
Most likely his threat is just that a threat; away to control you and keep you. Just to be safe do as I suggest above. People who are controllers will do or say anything to control someone else. If he cannot keep you in the relationship by threat alone then it is very possible he could hurt you. You could be in great physical danger by staying in this relationship.
Never let anyone control you through force or threats. When force or threats are used to keep you in a relationship you are no longer in a relationship. A relationship takes two people who want to be together. If one wants to leave the relationship and is kept there by intimidation or force you are basically kidnapped into that relationship.
My advice is to leave him. He is most likely bluffing but just to be safe for yourself and him do as I said above. Either call the police and report his threat or tell one of your parents. Do not stay in this relationship under any circumstance as you are in danger.
