Suicidal Friends

[SmokyChica]

I have my two best friends who are dating and extremely suicidal and unhealthily attached to each other. The boy has only promised he will be alive until Homecoming, and I know that if he does kill himself she will too. They both have severe problems with depression and self harming and eating disorders. I don't know what to do. Help?

I've had suicidal friends before but not like this. Mauve you should convince them to get help, or make them call the suicide hotline.

Your best bet would be to just tell a tea her, they'll hate you for it but they need imidiate help. If you do t want to do that, you could always talk to them about it, see what's bothering g them and just be there for them, but in my opinion they need imidiate help, but then again I'm no professional

Fighting does not belong in this thread. Don't let it continue. If it does, you will receive more severe consequences.

Your best bet is to tell someone. That is an extremely dangerous situation for them both to be in. I've been in relationships where you think that being with someone in your shoes is a good thing when really it only worsens your own problems.

They clearly need help and will not get it themselves. Go to a teacher or a school counsellor and tell them what you told us. They're both in danger of hurting themselves and each other.

I agree with the people above, this sounds like a vrry unhealthy relationship. Sadly I doubt they will listen to anyone who tries to help. If you are really worried that their lives are in danger tell a teacher or phone a suicide helpline for more professional advice.
