Hey guys! I haven't posted in a while but hey.

So my friend used to have suicidal thoughts. He's used to cut himself and do all that stuff until I got him to stop....he was ok for months but he's gone back to the suicidal thoughts and the cutting. I'm not going to go into detail but its mostly about his parents and stuff. One of my friends who is close with him is getting really paranoid and worried. She keeps thinking that he IS going to kill himself and I can't seem to get through to my friend because he's not listening. Also he is on VT I showed him a coupe of months ago when he first had suicidal
Thoughts. I don't know what to do anymore, I fear he will kill himself and the girl inboxig me all the time isn't making things easier..please I need some advice and I fear I don't have much time..

I'm going to make this blunt. If you--and other people too--honestly are afraid, because of things he's said and done, that he is going to attempt to kill himself sometime soon, then it is your responsibility as a friend to tell an adult about it. Because if he is truly suicidal, he is a danger to himself and his own safety. From what you've said here, it seems like he may have mentioned that he's going to attempt to either you or your friend. That's a red flag right there for you to try and get him the help he needs, and the first step in doing that is telling a trusted adult. Make sure that he knows you both care about him, that you're both there for him and want what's best for him, and that you'll always be there for him through all of this shit. I wish you good luck, and want you to know that if any of you ever need anything, we're always here to help on VT.

If you're seriously worried he might actually kill himself you need to tell someone that can help him, because at the end of the day no one can help someone when they're in that state of mind by themselves. I've been there, done that, you just have to trust in someone else. However, if you don't think he's at serious risk, talk to him, comfort him and just generally be there and don't judge, you know? Make sure you're available in him time of need. It'll all be okay.

You also need to tell this girl she isn't helping the situation and that it would help if she remained calm, some people don't realise they're freaking out till they're told.

edit: Clint got the adult trust thing in before me :P.
