I Will Kill Myself

I once had a close friend who told me he wanted to kill himself. I, and some of my other friends, made light of the statement and tried to get our friends attention on other things. It seemed as if we were successful, but then he did kill himself. After the shock wore off, we all realized he was crying out for help, and we didn't help. So he killed himself. You cannot possibly imagine the guilt I carry every day about this. Please take all these situations seriously. Never make light of it. Always get this person help, even if you must betray his trust. I pray none of you ever have to go through what I do over this.

yes i guess that you are right^^ if someone really will kill himself wont tell a word. neither act like will really do that. will just keep that to himself so no one will stop him. you are completely right. i just guess that your friend was so depressed that felt down that day^^ anyway if he needs a friend i can be his friend too i love pinay people^^

Was this someone you knew or a stranger? I would not have told him that,but I would have talked to him to see what the problem was. Sometimes you are right and people are just saying that for the attention. However, I do think that when people are first considering it,they may talk about it as they want to see if anyone really cares about them. I hope this person does not kill themselves.

but then i guess it would add a point to him. if he is really wanting to kill himself. but then nothing is going to change as a person who doesnt want to change finally changed to some thing he can never change.

OMG...that is very sad. Every time I know of someone who wants to end their life it really makes me sad. I know sometimes the world is not worth living nowadays because of so many problems we are facing. There's economy problem, family problem, relationship problem and many other kinds of problems but I think in general life is still beautiful, worth living I may add. You are right, maybe your friend is just giving you a hell of a joke. Maybe he was just kidding, but on the other hand he could be serious and when you tell him do it, he might have just done that. Sometimes what we say can save or harm the person we knew, hope your friend is doing fine now.

I think it ws very wrong of you to tell your friend to go ahead and kill himself. You say you "know he was not serious" and although that may be true, you weren't in is mind, so you would have no way of knowing that all he needed was that one little push to do what he intended.To use "reverse psychology" on anyone is very dangerous and should never be used , especially in the case of an unstable person.Most likely you will never be put in this kind of situation again, but, if you are i would suggest you handle it with a lot more sensitivity.
