First off, I am so glad that you care about your friend deeply enough to want to help her through this tough time. I know that one of the signs of being suicidal is giving away items you love to people and I think you should take this situation very seriously. Your friend needs a lot of help and support during this time and I think that it is crucial that you contact her parents and get her help. It seems like her parents aren't taking this seriously so you might want to google the signs of suicide and take it to them. Hopefully, her parents will realize what is going on and get her some help. By the way, you said she wasn't talking to her family? Will she talk to you about her problems? Talking can help some people and you seem like a caring enough friend that would support her. If not, you might want to give her the number to an anonymous suicide hotline that may help her out. Best of luck!

As a woman i can tell you that breaking up with someone that you once loved is a hard thing to do. Your friend really needs someone to talk to about this situation. The matter is not going to go away like a stain on a t shirt its only getting worse. You need to arrange something like a intervention with your friend and her parents because help starts with your family and friends first. You are indeed a true friend who cares so much for your friend and she needs to see that you are there for her. And listen, it might be storming in her llife right now but tell her the sun is going to shine on her . See if you can get a adult to sit and talk with your friends parents, then they need to try and get her to talk to counselors, psychologists, or maybe even you. once you vent about the problem she'll see that talking about the situation instead of holding it in is a good and healthy thing to do. trust me i have been through this with my ex boyfriend who i have dated for 4 years. we are the best of friends now, and you know what he even helped me deal with my problem of letting go.

There are not very many good, real christians around anymore, but you really need a good minister to help you out. Lots of times they have experience with those kind of things and they usually have connections with people who have experience also. They can encourage her, and you. There is so much more to life than guys. Life can be wonderful, she just needs some help to see that. Jesus Christ is a friend that sticks closer than anyone and He wants to help us have a great life....so let her know that, and.... pray for her.

this isn't something you can fix yourself.

i've been hospitalized for the same reasons, and i realized that NOTHING helps but yourself.

and the first step is getting her to accept that she's got issues.

sit her down, have a talk.

oh - if she starts to A) give away her possessions or B) changing her appearance, that usually means that the person is going to kill themselves within a month.

I would hold the parents responsible if something should happen to that young lady. What are they waiting for something bad to happen. This young lady needs help, if they don't give to to her , I'd call C.P.S. and report them as unfit parents.

say to her "that guy really broke your heart. but if you do this to yourself your just going to break my heart, your parents hearts, and all your friends hearts. don't do that to us. they'll be other BETTER guys out there! you can't kill yourself over one."

my friend also had the same symptoms, but it wasn't over a boy.
