For a friend..stress. parents.

Okay so this is about my friend and i have no idea how i can help him.
Okay so he is korean. He goes to academy every day, except sunday( church), for around 4 hours sometimes more. His parents put heaps of pressure on him and if he gets bad grades they will scold him and his dad will beat him. He told me that he wants to die, and he always plans on killing himself but stops. He made a deal with himself that, if his dad beats or scolds him when he gets his report card( 30days) then he will kill him self. Its just really hard because he is trying his hardest and he said he asked his mum for even more academy and at lunch he sees the math teacher for help. Last report card his dad beat him because he got a 1 out of 3 for behaviour. Uh idk it jsut sucks i need to know what help i can give him or advice.
oh btw academy is like this extra school alot of koreans go to. like the learn; english, maths, science, chinese, all of it. yeah
thanks heaps
imjust really worried.

hmm.. The good thing to do is to help him.(right now) i know he is doing his job well.. but i think his parents got the real problem, they dont know how to appreciate the better from good. Just keep his moral up .. Whenever he needs help go let him lean on your strong and
loving words.

I dont want to sound like a tattle tale. But maybe you should tell someone. not his parents. or maybe you should try to stop it. this sounds unconventional but maybe you should say you ripped up his report card or something not like his dad could beat you. Or when he said he would kill himself you could try stopping it invite him over to your house and hide him there for a while maybe you could tell your parents and they will let him stay. I hope i helped at least a little:(

not that im diagreeing about everything momo said but i dont think YOU should put yourself in front of his parents. i do think you should get help for him. keep him close by just be ready to jump to his side when he needs it. thats what he needs a good friend who stands beside him.
