Someone helped me from killing myself, now I don't know how to thank him.
So this guy who has been a friend of my brothers for a while but is only a year older than me kept me from killing myself. We have been talking for a while on Facebook and one night I took a picture of the pills I was about to take and I asked him to tell me to stop. He did. He saved my life. I don't like him, I like his friend. But I have said thank you on Facebook but I'm to afraid to say it in person. He is really nice and said that I don't need to do anything and that thank you is enough. I owe him something, anything. I'm just not quite sure what.

The best thank you for him is that you didn't do it and aren't. He's thankful that you are becoming well and moving forward. Believe me he knows this is a difficult thing for
you to talk about and isn't looking for an in person thank you although he wouldn't discourage it. What you could do when you see him is give him a huge hug privately and say "Long overdue. I'm here because of you. Thanks" and leave it at that.
As far as owing him goes understand that he knows and believes what you should that anyone in that situation would have done the same thing rolls reversed or for others. Maybe what you can do is pay it forward and find a program at school or in the community and mentor teens with similar problems or share your story and let your friend know he inspired you to do so. That's gift enough.
