Question:
Answers:
If you are still in school, drop the note to a teacher or someone and ask that you want it to stay confidental. If you are not in school, and this is happenin as we speak, you can always call the local police department, and leave a tip...tell them you are worried about ur friend exc...or if you are close to her parents then YES TELL THEM. Would you rather have a dead friend, or a friend whos mad at you because you kept them alive? I have had to ask myself this. Go with the 2nd choice! GOOD luck, and be a good friend don't let them down.
Best thing to do is tell her parents, they will get her the help she needs and she will get through this and see it wasnt so bad. And she will thank you for saving her life.
This is a hard situation!!! You just asking for advise on this yahoo thing really shows you care. There are thousands of depressed people out there and thousands of them get help and feel better. Just think how happy your friend would be if she was not depressed anymore. You should talk to her first about it and tell her how much you care about her and that you would never want anything to happen to her. Maybe you can help her make her own decision to get help. Good luck and you are a really really really good friend!
Of course you should tell someone! She's sick and needs help. How are you gonna feel if she does kill herself? How do you think her family and other friends are gonna feel knowing that you could have possibly kept her from killing herself? Besides all that if you truly are a friend to her you want the best for them, well sitting back and letting something horrible happen is not in their best interest. Sure at first she'll probably be pretty mad at you but if she gets the proper care and recovers from her depression she'll see why you did it. Thats my opinion anyways.
Consider telling her parents, who should be told not to mention you, but to say: "We've noticed a change in your mood lately, and need to know if you are depressed." See suicidal thoughts, and depression, at http://www.ezy-build.net. (.net.nz/~shaneris) on pages 5, and 2, and print, and give to, or refer them.
I have personally been through this. If you possibly can, I mean by all means necessary, be with your friend. Visit them, make them visit you, being with them and just cuddling up to them to watch a movie or something can really tell you how much your friend cares about you. Just talk with them, and if the situation worsens, tell someone you know is close to them: their mother or their family. Later, they might thank you for it.
DON'T TELL HER PARENTS!
SHE WILL DIE FROM HER SHAME!
TELL HER BROTHER/SISTER.
