Oh no!

[mimitchis_rock13579]

One of my friends on the swim team hasn't been going to practices or meets (She says she "lost" her stuff). She loves swimming though. Also, I invited her to my birthday party, but she didn't come because "there was too much crap in her life to have fun".

I keep thinking she's going to commit suicide! (Why you may ask? I learned in Health that one of the warning signs of suicide is loss of interest in sports, hobbies, jobs, and school.)

What should I do?

 

[mimitchis_rock13579]

Well does ANYONE have an idea on what I should do??

No... I think the only way you could convince her otherwise is to make her realize that there are people in this world that care about her alot... namely you. And if she were to commit suicide... she'd be letting al lthose who love her down.

Ya, excactly!

She won't commit suicide, maybe she is just going through some hard times.

Find out what is wrong. :furawatchi:

Find out what is wrong.

she could, its always a possibility

but

i suggest you talk to her.

give her a shoulder to lean on-

but dont press her to talk- just be there for her.

pressing people to tell personal things just makes it worse.

ask her whats wrong, but if she says she really doesnt want to talk about it, or she seems irritated by you asking, just say, well if you ever want to talk, or need me i'm here for you.

or something around those lines.

then just try to get her to have a good time.

it could be hard times, but if you are really worried about her, maybe talk to a responsible adult about this.

good luck!

Eek! Tell someone, like her teachers, or parents or something. She might get in trouble but she /should/ thank you for saving her life.

Also, topics like these aren't allowed. Tamatalk's rules.

I think that moreso applies to people faking their deaths, and such. She's looking for advice about her friend in a hard situation.

Anywho.

Although there's a possibility she might want to commit suicide, there's also a possibility that she's telling the truth about loosing her things and having family problems. She may just be stressed and want to be alone. Everyone needs time alone to think of things once in a while.

Either way, just try to be there for her. Like others have said, don't push her to talk. Be a good friend to her like I'm assuming you always do.

 

[yo!allyrox]

Talk to her. Get help. Tell her that no problem in the world is big enough to do sometthing like that.Ask her mom is shes acting normaly or if there is anything wrong.

Good luck!

Is there a certain reason she might want to commit scuicide?

I think there would have to be something seriously wrong with your life if you wanted to do that.

But talk to her and be there for her as other people have said.

And best of luck and i'll always be thinking of you and her... and praying she doesn't do what you think she will.

Ok, the first step is to talk to her and ask her what's wrong and why she has lost interest in things. If she doesn't want to talk about it, don't force her too, just say that if she ever wants to talk about anything, that you're there for her. If you really think she's gonna do the you-know-what, just tell your parents or another trusted adult like a teacher or a school counselor or a therapist. (if you know one) When you do that, they can find out what's wrong with her and give her the help she needs to correct her problems.
